AMD is reportedly exploring the possibility of entering the smartphone chip market with its “Ryzen AI” system-on-chip (SoC) technology.
The rumor suggests the company is in talks with integrators to develop mobile processors that could compete with existing market leaders like Qualcomm and MediaTek.
The potential move comes as the tech industry sees increased collaboration between mobile and PC chip manufacturers. AMD’s approach would likely focus on power-efficient chips similar to its existing APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) designs used in handheld devices.
This development follows AMD’s previous work with Samsung, where the company’s technologies were incorporated into Exynos chips. The rumored Ryzen AI SoCs could represent a more comprehensive chip solution for smartphones.
The timing may be strategic, as the mobile and AI chip markets continue to evolve rapidly. However, experts caution that entering the smartphone market would be a significant challenge for a company primarily focused on PC and server technologies.
AMD has not officially confirmed the rumor, and industry observers recommend treating the information with caution. If true, this would mark a potentially transformative move for the company’s market strategy.
