Qualcomm appears determined to squeeze out Exynos 2700 from the upcoming Galaxy S27 series, and has prepared as many as six Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variants to render Samsung Mobile spoilt for choice. Samsung LSI, however, is now reportedly equally adamant at not letting Qualcomm eat its lunch and is preparing an apt "response" to this gambit. Samsung's Galaxy S27 series is emerging as an unequivocal winner in the ongoing tussle between Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variants and Samsung LSI's Exynos 2700 chip As we reported recently, Qualcomm is preparing as many as six variants […]

Samsung looked more than determined to carve its own path and reduce reliance on Qualcomm when it was reported that the Exynos 2700 would be found in 50 percent of all Galaxy S27 shipments. However, a tipster states that this may not be possible because there’s one major difference between Samsung’s and Qualcomm’s strategies, which we’ve discussed at length below. Exynos 2700 could be costlier to produce for Samsung, leaving it with little choice but to use the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 in the base Galaxy S27 TSMC’s 2nm N2P architecture is said to be superior to Samsung’s […]

Samsung made history by introducing its first 2nm GAA chipset to the masses, Exynos 2600, with the Korean firm’s semiconductor now shifting focus and resources towards the Exynos 2700, its next SoC that’s reported to use the improved iteration of the company’s 2nm node and launch just before the Galaxy S27 series launch in early 2027. For Samsung’s competitors, the Exynos 2600 would be brushed off as a one-time affair, but the Exynos 2700 sends an entirely different signal, one that could make Qualcomm and TSMC extremely nervous. For both Qualcomm and TSMC, the Exynos 2700 represents a potential loss […]

Samsung was considering removing Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) from the Exynos 2700 as part of its cost-cutting strategy to make its upcoming Galaxy S27 series more affordable for the masses amid the DRAM shortage. Fortunately, a new rumor has dispelled these claims, stating that the Korean giant fully intends to treat its next 2nm chipset with the best in-house technologies possible to raise the competitive bar. Maintaining FOWLP technology on the Exynos 2700 helps the latter to maintain better performance when running taxing workloads Aside from removing FOWLP from the Exynos 2700, Samsung was also rumored to switch to BOE’s […]

The Galaxy S27 lineup arriving in early 2027 will be treated to a few watered-down features as Samsung is currently losing its skirmish with the DRAM crisis, along with the rest of the industry. Previously, it was rumored that the base model would need to feature BOE-made OLED panels to keep prices low, and now, the Exynos 2700 powering a percentage of these handsets is going to be missing a key technological feature, despite utilizing Samsung’s newest second-generation 2nm GAA process. Exynos 2700 may not leverage Samsung’s newest chip packaging, leaving some performance on the table So far, the biggest cost-cutting […]

Samsung continues to improve its 2nm GAA process with its second iteration, which will be utilized for the Exynos 2700, enabling the company to introduce the direct successor to the Exynos 2600. While the upcoming chipset’s release will serve to reduce the Korean giant’s dependency on Qualcomm and lower its expenditure on outsourced silicon, it can also help restore its non-memory and semiconductor businesses, which are currently facing a 1 trillion won deficit ($679.21 million). Analysts predict that, depending on the Exynos 2700’s capabilities, Samsung should be able to reduce its deficit to around $543.47 million During the first quarter […]

Samsung made a generational leap by introducing a novel heat sink within the Exynos 2600 chip, substantially improving its thermal stability in the process. Even so, with the upcoming Exynos 2700 chip, Samsung intends to build on its budding momentum by opting for an innovative side-by-side (SBS) architecture alongside a more refined heat sink, unlocking a significant jump in memory bandwidth. Samsung is banking on a novel SBS architecture and a more refined heat sink to improve the real-world performance of its upcoming Exynos 2700 chip As a refresher, the Exynos 2700 chip is expected to leverage Samsung's SF2P process, […]

The Exynos 2600 may have ushered in the first step towards Samsung obtaining self-reliance in smartphone chipset development, but there is still significant room for improvement, as issues lingering with the company’s first 2nm GAA SoC could be addressed by its immediate successor, the Exynos 2700. This may explain why the latter has been spotted in the latest Geekbench listing, indicating that Samsung wishes to put the silicon through some early paces to introduce better optimization ahead of its launch in the Galaxy S27 series. A 10-core CPU cluster is expected to remain unchanged for the Exynos 2700, but Samsung may […]
