After Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series with Snapdragon processors earlier this year, leaks show that the new Galaxy S series may also be released with Snapdragon processors in the future. Latest leaks show that Samsung may cancel the production of the Exynos 2600 due to production difficulties.
Production difficulties may hinder Samsung’s Exynos 2600 production
The upcoming Exynos 2600 is expected to use the advanced 2 nm processor manufacturing process of Samsung Foundry, Samsung’s processor manufacturing company. However, recent reports show that Samsung will have difficulty producing the Exynos 2600 and therefore they may cancel the production of the processor. A very important detail for the manufacturer during processor production is how many processors they can produce from a single chip plate. The latest reports show that the production efficiency for Exynos 2600 is between 10 percent and 20 percent. Apart from all these reports, Samsung says that it will close its 4 nm, 5 nm and 7 nm processor production facilities, which are now left behind and many of them are unused, with the renewed and developing technology.
In addition, it is known that the workforce of the semiconductor department of the company, headquartered in South Korea, has decreased due to the 52-hour work week regulation. At the same time, the company is completely restructuring its application processor (AP) development team. However, it is thought that this restructuring process will take years to complete. Analysts think that Samsung may outsource some of its processor production to TSMC to ease its burden, but this may increase processor costs, but in this case, Samsung may have to break its competitive pricing policy.
Despite all these difficulties, it is known that Samsung Foundry, which is the second largest chip manufacturer in the world, is trying to improve the 2 nm production process in order to continue competing with TSMC. Users think that Samsung should continue with Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors for the new Samsung Galaxy S25 series. However, analysts say that this situation will cause product prices to increase.
