On May 25, according to SamMobile, Samsung will set up a dedicated chip team in July to develop the Exynos chip for Galaxy smartphones, which is expected to be mass-produced and commercially available in 2025.
The report pointed out that the chip research and development project team established by Samsung is called “Deam Platform One Team” and is jointly led by TM Roh, head of Samsung’s mobile division, and Park Yong-in, head of Samsung’s LSI division.
The report also said that Samsung’s move means that the Galaxy S23 to be released in 2023 and the Galaxy S24 series flagships to be released in 2024 will all use Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.
Previously, the Samsung Galaxy S series usually adopted a dual-platform strategy. For example, the Galaxy S22 series of the National Bank and the US version used the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 chip, while the European version used the Exynos 2200 chip. If the Galaxy S23 only uses the Qualcomm chip, then the Samsung Galaxy S23 series uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 chip. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2.
According to the data, the Exynos chip once had a bright moment in the era of the Galaxy S6 series in 2015. At that time, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 used Samsung’s own Exynos 7420 processor. This generation of the Galaxy S6 series even gave up the international version. Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
The reason is that Samsung took the lead in using the 14nm FinFET process. With this advanced process, the Samsung Exynos 7420 has a more stable frequency and power consumption performance. Compared with the 20nm FinFET, the 14nm FinFET has a 20% performance tip and a 35% reduction in power consumption.
At that time, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 used TSMC’s 20nm process, and this processor was exposed to heat problems. In contrast, the Samsung Exynos 7420 has a higher energy efficiency ratio and is called “Android Light”.
Now that Samsung plans to build its own Exynos chip for Galaxy smartphones, we’ll have to wait and see if it can revive the Exynos glory.
