According to latest rumors about the upcoming Galaxy s8, The device will be featured as a top tier gaming beast.
A new leak suggests that Samsung will be using ARM's new Mali G71 GPU which would offer a significant boost over the current generation S7. According to Sammobile, this GPU will be built into the Exynos 8895 system (a chip that will reportedly power the next gen of Samsung Flagship phones). However take this news with a pinch of salt as early reports like this one, can sometimes be fake and not reliable.
The Mali-G71 is ARM’s top-end mobile
GPU, and is built on the company’s new Bifrost architecture. It’s a 16nm
chip clocked at 850MHz and, according to ARM, offers a 40% performance
improvement while being 20% more efficient than the Mali-T880 – that’s
the Galaxy S7’s GPU.
Here’s what ARM says about its latest GPU:
It’s also worth noting that the Mali-G71 was developed to meet the needs of Vulkan, which is the powerful, cross-platform API built by Khronos. Samsung already added support for Vulkan in the Galaxy S7, so it’d be surprising if the same wasn’t true for the Galaxy S8.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S8 at a dedicated launch event in the first quarter of 2017. We’ll likely see the reveal coincide with Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress technology tradeshow, although the actual release date may not fall until April. That said, recent reports have suggested that Samsung will try to bring the release of the Galaxy S8 forward, to recoup some of the losses generated by its recent Galaxy Note 7 recall.
