Despite the previous cancellation of the showcase event, #Samsung announced its most powerful mobile processor with #AMD #RDNA2 graphics, that supports #Raytracing!
Previously, only #ImaginationTechnologies have had mobile RT-cores, but this one is nearly the same as the desktop equivalent RDNA, that you can find in last gen consoles, including Valve's Steam Deck, PS5, and Xbox Series:

Unlike Samsung, the team behind current #ImaginationTechnologies brand, explained some of their mobile #Raytracing experiments in-depth. They showring some demo-videos for over 8 years with RT-shadows, GI, and reflections, becoming more and more complex over time.
They began the whole thing BEFORE NVIDIA, but due to mobile-friendly architecture it's still highly limited, this is why even the latest demo is extremely blurry in motion.
(The company, that previously created PowerVR GPUs for Apple, was left behind and purchased by investors from China a few years ago. They are making Innosilicon GPUs for desktop and servers in China)
