Recent rumors have hinted at Samsung working on its next generation of top end Exynos series mobile processor. Now, a new report has revealed the internal codename of its upcoming flagship chipset as well as its model number.
Samsung S5E9935 (next-gen Exynos high-end SoC) codename is "Quadra" (last gen was Pamir).

According to known tipster Roland Quandt, the South Korean tech giant’s new flagship Exynos SoC has been codenamed “Quadra.” This chipset will apparently be the successor to the Exynos 2200, which was codenamed Pamir, that shipped with the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. In other words, Quadra might be officially called the Exynos 2300, although, its exact specifications and improvements over its predecessor is currently unknown.
The tipster further tweeted that the new chipset will be based on the 3nm GAA fabrication process and will feature latest ARM CPU cores. It will reportedly even be based on the updated Xclipse GPU that is based on AMD’s latest Radeon GPU. The mass production of this chipset might begin later this year, which is basically in line with the company’s next flagship Exynos chip launch. Interestingly, there have also been rumors circulating regarding Samsung possibly not using Exynos chips for its flagship Galaxy S series of flagship smartphones for the next two years.
The reason for this shift is apparently due to throttling issues and lackluster performance compared to its rival, Qualcomm and its Snapdragon chips. It is rumored that the brand has setup a team of around 1,000 employees that are tasked with building a new custom chip from the ground up, which may be used on the Galaxy S25 in 2025. So stay tuned for more updates.
