Samsung Exynos 2400 samples will be delivered by June of this year
At the Galaxy Unpack 2023 event held on February 1, Samsung released a new generation of Galaxy S23 series flagship smartphones. Unlike usual, the three new Galaxy S23 series models are equipped with Qualcomm’s customized version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 platform, and no version using the Exynos chip is provided. Due to performance problems in the Galaxy S22 series equipped with Exynos 2200 last year, Samsung suspended the use of Exynos chips in the Galaxy S23 series.
According to Notebookcheck, Samsung’s next-generation Exynos 2400 has been approved for mass production, and samples will be delivered by June 2023. This is Samsung’s largest chip so far, reaching 130mm2, which is 30% larger than the Exynos 2200 and almost equal to the Apple M1 chip. It is reported that the AI performance of Exynos 2400 has reached 44 TOPS, which is comparable to the 45 TOPS of Qualcomm’s 4th generation Snapdragon 8cx platform.
Although Samsung has chosen Qualcomm’s platform for its new generation of flagship smartphones, it does not seem to have given up on the next generation of Exynos high-end chips internally. It is rumored that Samsung is striving for the Exynos 2400 to be used in next year’s Galaxy S24 series, with 12GB of memory, again providing dual-platform options. TM Roh, president of Samsung and head of the electronic mobile department, is also very concerned about the development progress of Exynos 2400, but the specific situation has to wait for the samples to come out.
It is not yet clear which process Exynos 2400 will use to manufacture. It is rumored that it may be a 4LPP+ process instead of the 3nm GAA process that many people are expecting.
