The Samsung Galaxy S series usually adopts a dual-platform strategy, such as the Galaxy S22 series, the national bank and the US version use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 chip, while the European version uses the Exynos 2200 chip. However, the latest report points out that the Exynos chip may miss the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.
On May 31st, the whistleblower Garyeon Han hinted on social platforms that Samsung will no longer develop Exynos flagship chips this year.This means that the Galaxy S23 series to be released in 2023 will all use Qualcomm chips.
The report stated that,Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series released this year offers an Exynos 2200 version and a Snapdragon 8 version,Among them, the Exynos 2200 version has problems such as heating and freezing, which affects the reputation of the Exynos chip.
For this reason, Samsung has decided to start developing special chips for Galaxy smartphones, which will debut in 2025 at the earliest.This means that both the Galaxy S23 series in 2023 and the Galaxy S24 series in 2024 will use Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.
As usual, Qualcomm will launch the second-generation Snapdragon 8 chip (Snapdragon 8 Gen2) at the end of this year. This chip will be manufactured by TSMC. It is expected to still be a “1+3+4” three-cluster architecture design, which will be in 2023. This processor will also be used in the Galaxy S23 series.
As for Exynos, the household name chip has had its moment. In 2015, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 used Samsung Exynos 7420 processor, because Samsung took the lead in using 14nm FinFET process.
With this advanced process, Samsung Exynos 7420 has a more stable frequency and power consumption performance. Compared with 20nm, the performance of 14nm FinFET is 20%, and the power consumption is reduced by 35%.
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.
