Samsung has a lineup of its own mobile processors under the Exynos brand. The top-end offering in the lineup is usually powering the flagship smartphones from the brand, along with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.
But this time, Samsung decided to skip the Exynos version of the flagship smartphones, and thus, the Galaxy S23 series comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in all regions.
While it was speculated that the company may be done with the flagship chipset of its own, given the disappointing reasons for the Exynos 2200, it appears that isn’t the case.
As per the latest information, the South Korean technology giant is working on the Samsung Exynos 2500 SoC, which will feature a self-made GPU based on AMD’s technology. However, the specification of the chip remains unknown at this time.
Previously, Samsung was rumored to be working on a custom graphics processor, and this is likely to be the case as the company would take advantage of the license agreement with AMD, which was recently renewed. It remains to be seen if Samsung is looking to ditch Qualcomm in the longer run and rely only on its own chips.
Although the development sounds exciting, it will take some time, at least a couple of years, before the Samsung Exynos 2500 SoC becomes official. There’s a possibility that the chipset may be manufactured using a second-generation 3nm process if everything goes as per the plans and Samsung starts 3nm production next year.
