The Exynos 2400 utility processor (AP) is a pleasing shock and contains a deca-core CPU. It additionally gives hardware-accelerated ray tracing delivering extra reasonable lighting results in video video games equivalent to shadows, reflections, refractions, highlights, and bounced mild. Geekbench checks confirmed that the Exynos 2400 SoC is almost as highly effective because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
In 2023, all Galaxy S23 fashions have been outfitted with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset. Samsung didn’t mass-produce the Exynos 2300. This yr, with the Exynos 2400 able to driving a flagship line, Samsung used the AP on the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ in most markets aside from the U.S. and China. In these international locations, the 2 fashions have been powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. The latter chip was additionally used on all Galaxy S24 Extremely items no matter the place they have been bought.
Per
Wccftech, Samsung will make use of an identical technique for subsequent yr’s Galaxy S25 flagship sequence. Meaning we must always anticipate the Exynos 2500 AP to be discovered contained in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ in all markets aside from the U.S. and China. In these international locations, we would anticipate the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy AP to be powering these fashions. The identical chip must be discovered underneath the hood of all Galaxy S25 Extremely items.
The Exynos 2400 SoC is constructed by Samsung Foundry utilizing its 4nm node. The early rumors say that the Exynos 2500 SoC shall be manufactured by Samsung Foundry utilizing its second-generation 3nm course of node. An “X” leaker recognized by the username of
PandaFlash says that due to the second-generation 3nm node utilized by Samsung Foundry to supply the Exynos 2500, the AP shall be extra vitality environment friendly than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which can in all probability be made utilizing TSMC’s second-gen 3nm node.
Leaker says that the Exynos 2500 SoC shall be extra energy-efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC
Is there such an enormous distinction between Samsung Foundry’s second-gen 3nm node and TSMC’s second-gen 3nm node that may permit the Exynos 2500 SoC to be extra energy-efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC? Completely there may be! The distinction is that Samsung’s second-gen 3nm node makes use of Gate-All-Round (GAA) transistors which signifies that the gate wraps across the channel on all 4 sides. This limits leaks and will increase the drive present.
TSMC will not use GAA transistors till it begins producing at 2nm beginning within the second half of subsequent yr. Till then, its second-gen 3nm chips will proceed to make use of FinFET transistors even on APs just like the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and the A18 Professional and the A18 Bionic which shall be used on the iPhone 16 Professional sequence and the non-Professional iPhone 16 fashions respectively. FinFET transistors permit the gate to cowl solely three channels.
There have been studies that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset is having energy consumption points forcing producers to make use of bigger 5500mAh batteries to compensate for the issue. Not that the Exynos 2500 chipset is assured to be downside free. Samsung’s downside up to now has been low yields. Beforehand, Samsung Foundry had a poor 20% yield for 3nm manufacturing. Samsung Foundry has supposedly hiked its yield to 60% which is a serious enchancment if true.
The Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will not be launched till later this yr.
