Samsung has reportedly cancelled the Exynos 2300 chipset, which was codenamed “Quadra.” The decision was made before the SoC entered mass production, but the reason for the cancellation is unknown.
Popular tipster @Revengus shared the news that Samsung has canceled the mass production of the Exynos 2300 chip on his Twitter handle. He says that the decision was not made because of the MX decision. Instead, it was made before the chip could be mass-produced by the DS division.
Although the Exynos 2300 was not mass-produced, it is said to be comparable in performance to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is the current best flagship chip from Qualcomm. The tipster compares the Exynos 2300 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 chip, which were used in the Galaxy S21 series a couple of years ago.
The Exynos 2300 was said to be comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in multi-core performance, but it was unclear how it would fare in the GPU test. Google’s Tensor G3 is reported to be a modified version of the Exynos 2300, but a Geekbench 5 leak suggests that it performed worse than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. This casts doubt on the Exynos 2300’s capabilities.
However, it is still unclear why Samsung decided to cancel the mass production of the Exynos 2300. It is possible that the chip was not cost-effective to produce, or that Samsung had other reasons for wanting to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in its upcoming phones.
Despite the cancellation of the Exynos 2300, Samsung is reported to be working on the Exynos 2400, which is expected to be released in Q4 2023. The Exynos 2400 is said to be manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm process, which has reportedly improved yields.
