Samsung Reportedly Drops Plans To Design Its Exynos 2800 On A Sub-2nm Process, Preferring Healthy Yields And Optimizations Over Cutting-Edge Lithography
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung plans to design its Exynos 2800 SoC using an upgraded 2nm GAA process (SF2P+), rather than the more advanced 1.4nm node, to focus on yield stabilization and cost efficiency.
- The Exynos 2800 is expected to be Samsung’s first chipset paired with an in-house GPU, signaling a significant step in their SoC development.
- Samsung originally intended to use the 1.4nm process starting in 2027 but postponed this to avoid low yields and high production costs that could hinder adoption in the Galaxy S28 series.
- The company has completed the basic design of its second-generation 2nm GAA process and plans to implement a third iteration (SF2P+) within two years to strengthen its foundry business.
- Before the Exynos 2800, Samsung will release the Exynos 2700 (codenamed Ulysses) this year for the Galaxy S27 lineup, aiming for higher production volumes.
