A new Exynos chipset is said to enter mass production in the second half of 2024, as Samsung is expected to aggressively increase the adoption of its in-house silicon for the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series. On numerous occasions, the company has been stated to employ its Gate-All-Around technology to its mobile chipsets, potentially giving it an edge against TSMC, which already has its second-generation 3nm process up and running, with the M4 being the first to utilize this node.
Earlier report stated that Samsung would utilize its second-generation 3nm GAA process for the next Exynos release
A paywalled report on DigiTimes mentions that Samsung will kick off mass production of its 3nm Exynos SoC in the ‘latter half of 2024.’ However, apart from providing the name ‘Exynos,’ no other valuable information is mentioned. Fortunately, we have heard through countless reports that Samsung intends to use the Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in its upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which it will probably unveil in early 2025. The Korean giant is once again said to use a dual-chipset launch approach as it did with the Galaxy S24 family, as it will help reduce chipset expenses next year from Qualcomm.
As for the Exynos 2500, Samsung has previously been reported to take advantage of its second-generation 3nm GAA process for the upcoming SoC, resulting in lowered energy leakage and improved power efficiency. While there are no figures or numerical data that provide insights into the Exynos 2500’s capabilities, one rumor claims that it is more energy-efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. It is possible Samsung also uses its advanced ‘Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging,’ or FOWLP, to improve heat resistance and increase performance, but we will find out during the official announcement.
Samsung typically unveils its flagship smartphone chipset during the fourth quarter of the year. The Exynos 2400 was first previewed in October 2023, and additional details followed during the Galaxy S24 launch in February 2024. Assuming the company sticks with the same timeline for the Exynos 2500, we will provide all the necessary details, so stay tuned.
