Samsung’s Exynos chipsets have a mixed reputation in the tech industry. Unlike the Galaxy S22 line released in 2022, the latest Galaxy S23 series is only being sold with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. This suggests that Samsung has finally decided not to use Exynos SoCs in its flagship devices. It turns out that this is not the case, as the Korean company is rumored to be working on a new Exynos 2400 processor that may power the next year’s S24 series.

Exynos 2400 has been leaking through the rumor mill a lot recently. And today a Korean publication has claimed the said SoC will be found under the hood of some Galaxy S24 series models. However, there is no news about which regions will get the Exynos 2400-powered Galaxy S24 variants. As per the report, the chipset will start mass production in 2024, but it won’t be manufactured using Samsung’s cutting-edge 3GAP node. Instead, it will use the ‘improved’ 4LPP variant.

Reports suggest, unlike other mobile SoCs that feature an octa-core architecture, the upcoming Exynos platform will have 10 cores. The chipset may have the following cores: one Cortex-X4 (3.1 GHz), two Cortex-A720 cores (2.9 GHz), three Cortex-A720 cores (2.6 GHz) and four Cortex-A520 cores (1.8 GHz). Since Samsung is shifting to deca-core architecture, it’s possible other manufacturers may also follow the lead.

While one may not have high hopes for an Exynos chip, judging from the leaked details, the Exynos 2400 processor looks promising. However, there’s only so much you can learn from dry specs. Currently, it’s not even certain if the Exynos 2400 will actually power the Galaxy S24 series, as Samsung could very well have different plans for the upcoming lineup.
