In a recent development, a prototype of the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy A55 has undergone testing on Geekbench, revealing some exciting details about its specifications. The most significant update is the confirmation of Samsung’s intriguing GPU selection. Unlike its predecessors, the A55 departs from the Mali GPU and instead adopts an AMD RDNA2-based Xclipse 530 GPU.
The inclusion of the Xclipse 530 GPU raises the possibility of supporting ray tracing in gaming, although official confirmation is still pending. Nevertheless, this marks a substantial upgrade in GPU performance compared to the A5x series.
On the CPU front, the A55 exhibits improvements over the Exynos 1380, its predecessor. However, the gains are not groundbreaking. With a single-core score of 1,127 and a multi-core score of 2,090, the A55 falls slightly short of the A54’s performance, which scored 1,108 and 2,797, respectively.
The prototype used for the Geekbench test featured 8GB of RAM, mirroring the maximum configuration available for the A54. Other anticipated features of the Galaxy A55 include a 6.5-inch FHD 120 Hz OLED display, a 50 MP main camera, and support for 25W wired charging (charger not included in the package).
As we await further details and official announcements from Samsung, the inclusion of the AMD RDNA2-based Xclipse 530 GPU in the Galaxy A55 sets the stage for an exciting gaming experience and improved graphics performance.
