After skipping the Exynos 2300, Samsung seems all set to launch the Exynos 2400 later this year. The next-gen flagship Exynos processor will reportedly debut in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Exynos 2200 that powered the Galaxy S22 series in some markets was launched in early 2022.
Samsung skipped the Exynos 2300 likely because its mobile division decided to not use an Exynos processor in the Galaxy S23 series. The 2023 Galaxy flagships are powered by an overclocked version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 globally. However, the company seems to have found new customers for its flagship chipsets and is now pursuing the Exynos 2400.
According to tipster @Tech_Reve on Twitter, the Exynos 2400 will use FoWLP (fan-out wafer-level packaging) packaging technology. It eliminates the need for a printed circuit board (PCB) in a chip setup. The chips are mounted directly on silicon wafers. The benefit is thinner, higher-performance semiconductors that consume less power. This helps extend the battery life of the device while simultaneously delivering better performance.
The Exynos 2400 could be a deca-core chipset
This isn’t the first time we are hearing about Samsung’s Exynos 2400 plans. Rumors are that it will be a deca-core (ten CPU cores) chipset featuring one ARM Cortex-X4 prime core, two Cortex-A720 high-frequency mid-cores, three Cortex-A720 low-frequency mid-cores, and four Cortex-A520 efficiency cores. That’s all we know as yet about the Exynos 2400. There’s no information on the CPU speeds and the rest of the setup, such as the GPU. Samsung recently extended its partnership with AMD. This hints at an AMD-powered GPU in the Exynos 2400, but there’s no confirmation about it.
However, all rumors have so far hinted at a late 2023 launch for the new Exynos processor. That’s just ahead of next year’s Galaxy S24 launch. While a few reports claimed that Samsung will use the Exynos 2400 in its next-gen flagships, there’s little chance of that happening. The Korean firm is likely to ship the devices with a Snapdragon chip globally. It should once again obtain an overclocked version of the latest Qualcomm processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3). The two firms have already signed a multi-year agreement.
Having said all this, it’s still too early for Galaxy S24 and Exynos 2400 rumors. These products are likely in the development stage currently, meaning that Samsung could make changes where it deems them appropriate. We advise you to take this information, including the CPU configuration of the new chipset, with some caution. Stay tuned for more reports confirming or denying these early rumors.
