Can you source your claim that Exynos used weird GPUs? AFAIK, Exynos mostly used ARM Mali (the default for ARM chips) cores with the exception of the most recent iteration when they formed a partnership with AMD to use RDNA in the 2200 model. I am absolutely sure no Exynos chip ever used Adreno and I also think they never used PowerVR.
- hocuspocus 4y agoThe Exynos 5410 (for instance in the Galaxy S4) had a PowerVR GPU. Afaik that's the only one, Samsung was already using ARM Mali extensively then. The Hummingbird (Galaxy S and iPhone 4) had one too but arguably it became part of the Exynos line-up after the fact.
- alexvoda 4y agoThank you for the correction. I did not know about those 2 examples.
- p_l 4y agoI mixed up Mali with Adreno, my fault. As for weird GPUs, the S3C2410 (which got renamed as Exynos post-factum) used weird Samsung-designed GPU (doubly weird because it was GLES2-only GPU yet Samsung Android phones had GLES 1.1 only on it). Then first few generations (Galaxy S, S2, S3, S4) used PowerVR GPUs
