It’s almost certain that Exynos chips are making a comeback. For months, we’ve been hearing rumors about a deca-core Exynos 2400 processor that’s rumored to power some Galaxy S24 models next year. The Galaxy S23 FE model, which should launch later this year, is also said to pack an Exynos-branded processor. Now, a new reliable report is here to confirm these long-standing rumors.
Exynos’ return seems inevitable
Pocket-lint reports that Samsung is siding with its own Exynos processors for the upcoming Galaxy S23 FE, which is said to be debuting later this year. While the report didn’t mention the exact processor, Geekbench recently listed the device with the older Exynos 2200. However, the S23 FE units shipping to the US may pack a Qualcomm processor, possibly the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
The report, citing sources, also claims that Samsung will revert back to Exynos chips for the flagship S24 series, launching next year. The current Galaxy S23 models are all powered by an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor. Pocket-lint says Exynos Galaxy S24 could remain limited to Europe and the US region might still get the Snapdragon variants.
We understand Samsung fans might be having mixed emotions about this news. However, they might be relieved to know the Exynos 2400 chip, said to power the Galaxy S24, is shaping up to be an impressive contender to Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The GPU on this chip reportedly has four times the number of compute units of the Xclipse 920 of Exynos 2200. The CPU benchmark scores (multi-core) are reported to be 20% more than that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
