Samsung has faced criticism for its Exynos chips in the past, but the latest Exynos 2400 has marked an improvement, thanks to the powerful AMD GPU it incorporates.
However, reports suggest that Samsung may ditch AMD and introduce its own in-house GPU with the Galaxy S26 lineup.
According to reliable leaker Roland Quandt, Samsung is developing a next-generation Exynos chip carrying the model number S5E9955.
This chip will feature an AMD RDNA-based GPU. However, for the Galaxy S26 series expected in 2026, Samsung reportedly aims to use its own in-house GPU, moving away from AMD’s offerings.
For the upcoming Galaxy S25 series in 2025, Samsung is said to be working on a significant upgrade, potentially fabricated using its second-generation 3nm process node.
Rumours suggest that this chip, possibly called the Exynos 2500 (S5E9955), will be a major improvement over previous Exynos processors, leading to speculation about a potential rebranding.
Of course, details about Samsung’s in-house GPU plans for the Exynos 2600 are scarce, but the company might still use RDNA as a foundation, similar to how Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs are based on AMD’s Radeon architecture.
The Galaxy S25 series is expected to use the Exynos 2500 with an AMD GPU in some markets, while also featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy chip in others.
However, the Galaxy S26 lineup in 2026 could be the first to feature Samsung’s homegrown GPU solution, potentially marking a significant milestone in the company’s pursuit of greater self-sufficiency in mobile processors.
Samsung is reportedly planning to incorporate its own in-house GPU in the Galaxy S26 series, transitioning away from using AMD’s GPU technologies.
Yes, the Galaxy S25 series is expected to utilize the Exynos 2500 chip, which includes an AMD GPU, before Samsung transitions to its own GPU solutions.
By developing its own GPU, Samsung aims to achieve greater control and customization over the graphics performance of its devices, enhancing efficiency and potentially reducing reliance on third-party technology providers.
While plans may evolve over time, the leaks suggest that Samsung is exploring a path towards designing its own GPU for future Exynos SoCs, potentially reducing its reliance on external partners like AMD.
