AMD delivered a big nugget of news earlier this week when it revealed that the next Samsung Exynos chipset (featuring an AMD GPU) will support ray tracing technology. It’s a big deal because full-blown ray tracing is largely limited to computers right now, promising far more realistic lighting effects and reflections. Now, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has told journalists (h/t: ZDNet) that the GPU kingpin won’t be following AMD’s lead by bringing ray tracing to mobile just yet. Still, Nvidia clearly seems to be open to the possibility of native ray tracing on mobile devices down the line. Speaking of Arm, the UK chip designer reiterated to Android Authority that it was indeed working on ray tracing tech.
