AMD and Samsung reach cooperation to promote smartphone cryptocurrency mining

(ChinaZ.com) June 5 news: According to beincrypto, Samsung and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) of the United States announced that they will establish a long-term strategic partnership, and the former will obtain graphics IP licenses for mobile GPUs from the latter.

According to the two companies' statement, the two sides will jointly develop advanced graphics technologies and solutions. In essence, Samsung will license intellectual property and manufacture its own chips, and the actual hardware manufacturing will not rely on AMD. The graphics system that Samsung will develop will be set to high performance, ultra-low power consumption, and targeted at mobile devices.

According to analysis, another industry that can use high-performance graphics processors is the mining industry, which means that AMD's cooperation with Samsung may promote the development of smartphone cryptocurrency mining. Although mobile mining is not currently implemented, the development of low-power GPUs may stimulate mining enthusiasts to experiment. While smartphone mining may not have an impact on established networks, it can play a role on edge networks and become a testing ground for beginners.
