It’s not clear why the APU codenamed Van Gogh is an X86 processor (used by Steam Deck), while the Van Gogh Lite is a mobile SoC based on the ARM architecture.

Moreover, sources believe that Samsung’s Xclipse 920 GPU may be a castrated version of the Van Gogh Lite GPU, the former is a 384 stream processor and the latter is a 512 stream processor. Future Xclipse 930 GPUs may feature a full 512 stream processor.

Furthermore, Samsung announced a new high-end mobile processor Exynos 2200 on January 18, using a  4-nanometer extreme ultraviolet lithography process and equipped with a  Samsung Xclipse graphics processing unit (GPU) based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture.

Exynos 2200 is one of the products on the market that integrates Arm’s latest Armv9 CPU core. The eight-core CPU adopts a tri-cluster structure design, consisting of one Arm Cortex-X2 core and three Cortex-A710 large CPUs with balanced performance and efficiency, and 4 small energy-efficient Cortex-A510 cores.
