Actually it doesn't. Its mostly software side. until nvidia volta. there is no complete vulkan support on nvidia, you can see comparison of amd cards and nvidia card by running same game on dx12 and vulkan. nvidia gains 1-2 frames and at times loose frames. but amd gains massive 30+ usually 30-50% more performance in vulkan compared to dx12

Imagine you want a PC and instead of Intel VS AMD or NVidia VS AMD you had like 7 brands for cpu's and another 7 for gpu's. This is what mobile market is becomming. Once was Snapdragon VS Mediatek now is VS Exynyos VS Rokchip VS Intel (not the old ones the new ones that LG wants to acquire) VS Kirin... Then there are complains that Android is not optimized enough. There is a point that too much choice is bad.

When it comes to GPU's, nvidia is better than amd.

I doubt AMD has something interesting to offer. Sure, they've gotten into PS4 Power-hungry version, but, as far as I know, they weren't successful in putting their chipsets into mobile phones. Nvidia, on the other hand, had a few phones and has some currently selling mobile products. Main problem being: they're mostly tablets and a TV box, not exactly mobile phones either.
If I were to choose from these two, I'd take Nvidia as they have more mobile experience. But I'm not a Samsung executive, so its up to them. And AMD may have some ace up in the sleeve. Only time will tell.

Anonymous, 09 Sep 2016Can you explain why they should use Nvidia over Amd?less power, less heat. simple as that. amd might be cheaper, but you also get what you pay for.

AMD was the most successful player in the mobile GPU sphere to the point that the tech was purchased by Qualcomm and renamed to Adreno, and nothing is stopping AMD from developing a new mobile core, since a group of the Canadian ATI engineers responsible for that tech are still there.

That's amazing. The exynos devices have always had smoother performances and generally less Throttle with much better audio

Your analysis is flawed. AMD has the advantage. Both AMD and Samsung are HSA members and NVidia is not. Samsung is dropping OpenGL for Vulkan API by Kronos which just happens to have been supplied by AMD's Mantle. As you know Mantle supports Asynchronous Compute and NVidia does not.
Also QUALCOMM Snapdragon used the Adreno GPU which is Radeon Technology that AMD sold to them years ago. Both Exynos Mali and Adreno support Vulkan API. What this means is an seemless transition to Radeon cores for Samsung's Android App's.
AMD also has years of experience designing high performance APU's using both x86 and ARM. AMD is already working with Samsung developing the 7nm litho process. Tegra has always been the redheaded stepchild of the mobile space. Now Samsung could always use Exynos and AMD has far more experience developing APU's than NVidia does. Likely this would be a Semi-custom project. All NVidia has for integrated graphics is Tegra.
And again AMD hardware is optimized for Vulkan.

Can you explain what is more superior about Pascal that will make it a better solution for Android? DX11??
