News about Samsung’s independent research and development of ray tracing and AI super-sampling technology

IT House recently reported that although Samsung has been cooperating with AMD in the past few years to bring ray tracing capabilities to its Exynos chips, recent news has revealed that Samsung seems to be developing its own ray tracing and AI supersampling technology, and It is planned to be applied on future Exynos chips. IT House also noticed that not long ago, there was news that Samsung is cooperating with AMD and Qualcomm to introduce FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) into its mobile phones

According to Daily Korea, a team at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) appears to be working on two new technologies: neural light reconstruction and neural supersampling. These technologies are expected to be available in Exynos chips after 2025. If this report is accurate, these gaming technologies may not be included in the 3nm "dream chip" Samsung is developing for the Galaxy S25 series. Reports say Samsung's ray tracing technology is superior to AMD and Nvidia's solutions because it can ray trace all parts of a scene. In contrast, AMD and Nvidia's ray tracing technology is typically only applied to parts of the game frame that reflect light.

Since ray tracing requires a lot of processing power, Samsung uses NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for ray tracing related calculations and uses an AI-based supersampling method (Neural Supersampling). This approach is similar to AMD's FSR and Nvidia's DLSS, which renders footage at a lower resolution and then upscales it to a higher resolution to offload the chip. Afterwards, anti-aliasing is performed on the edges of objects in the picture to make them smoother. Since these technologies have not yet been officially announced, this information should be treated with caution.

It is predicted that Samsung will release the Galaxy S24 in mid-January 2024, which will be its first AI phone equipped with a powerful NPU chip (Exynos 2400 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3), which can provide device-side AI processing , no Internet connection is required. In addition, the company plans to further enhance the performance of the NPU to add ray tracing and supersampling capabilities to future Galaxy smartphones
