It has been a while since Samsung released a flagship device powered by their Exynos chipset. Last year, the Galaxy S22 units were launched in a few markets with the Exynos 2200 SoC, but these variants left users disappointed as they offered underwhelming performance compared to their Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 counterparts. Taking note of these shortcomings, Samsung sided with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for all S23 units this year, abandoning the Exynos 2300 chip. Surprisingly, a mysterious smartphone featuring the supposedly doomed chipset has appeared on Geekbench.

Exynos 2300 rises from the dead

An unknown Samsung smartphone with model number SM-S919O was spotted on the Geekbench website. The device doesn’t match the description of any Samsung phone available in the market, suggesting it’s a prototype that someone’s toying with. The listing suggests the device runs the Exynos 2300 chip with a total of nine cores in three clusters. Most processors in the market get an octa-core architecture. Its prime core is clocked at 2.6 GHz, four performance cores at 2.59 GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.82 GHz.

However, it appears that the Samsung SM-S9190, which features this chipset, will not be produced as the chipset itself has reportedly been canceled. On the other hand, reports indicate that Samsung is actively developing the new Exynos 2400 chip, which is expected to feature a 10-core architecture. This upcoming SoC is likely to power certain models of the Samsung Galaxy S24, scheduled for release next year.

There are rumors suggesting that Samsung is working on the Galaxy S23 FE, and it may debut with the older Exynos 2200 chipset. However, there is a possibility that instead of the controversial Exynos 2200, the Korean company might consider equipping its fan edition model with the Exynos 2300. Nevertheless, this is purely an assumption at this point.

Google is gearing up to launch the Pixel 8 series later this year. The new flagship grade devices are expected to arrive with a new generation of Tensor chips. Although, a new report has revealed that these new chips could a modified version of chipsets from Samsung.

For those unaware, Samsung had skipped its proprietary Exynos chips from its premium Galaxy S23 series this year in favor of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. But now, a new rumor has suggested that the reportedly cancelled Exynos 2300 SoC might be taking on a new form. The Search Engine giant is apparently planning to use a modified version of the Exynos 2300 for its next generation of Tensor processor.

In other words, it appears that Samsung has quietly been working on the Exynos 2300 despite not making it official. However, there are reports that Samsung’s semiconductor division is still working on a new flagship grade Exynos process codenamed Quadra. So, Quadra might be modified and used as a base for the Tensor 3 chipset. Based on a recent leak, the Exynos 2300 will feature a Cortex X3 prime core that has a 3.09GHz max clock speed, along with four Cortex A715 cores clocked at 2.65GHz and four efficiency Cortex A510 cores that clock in at 2.1GHz.

Unfortunately, this is all the information based on the recent rumors. Earlier reports had also hinted at the next gen Tensor chips being based off of Samsung’s 4nm process, so it is clear that both companies are working closely together for chip development. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

Samsung Exynos 2300 Specs Leaked with 3.09GHz Cortex-X3 Super Core

Sean — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 10:14:27 +0000

Samsung had skipping the Exynos series chips for its latest generation of flagship smartphones (Galaxy S23) this year and the company was believed to be working with Google to develop a more powerful chip that will release at a later date. And now, a new leak has offered us a look at the specifications of the next gen Exynos 2300 features.

A tipster has revealed the kernel information regarding the Exynos 2300 SoC. This chipset is code named Quadra and adopts a 1+4+4 core configuration. This means that it will have 4 efficiency cores, 4 performance core, and one Cortex-X3 super core. This super core will apparently have a max clock speed of 3.09GHz frequency. Apart from this, it will still feature the custom design AMD RDNA 2 architecture.

Apart from the Cortex-X3, the performance cores will consist of 2.65GHz Cortex-A715 while the Cortex-A510 cores will clock in at 2.1GHz. Meanwhile, the GPU is dubbed the Samsung Xclipse 930. Unfortunately, it is still unclear if the South Korean tech giant is planning on launching its new generation mobile processors dubbed as the Exynos 2300 or the Exynos 2400. Samsung was also rumored to be working on the Exynos 2500, skipping the 2300 or 2400 other models, which could be equipped with a new NPU. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information surfaces regarding this matter.

Samsung Galaxy S23 won’t feature Exynos chips: Qualcomm

Sean — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 10:54:45 +0000

While there had been rumors that hinted at Samsung seemingly dropping its Exynos chips for its next gen flagship Galaxy S23 series, Qualcomm has basically confirmed this news in a recent conference.

The chipmaking giant basically confirmed the rumors during the Q&A session with analysts after it shred its quarterly financial report. When asked about the renewal of chip supply deal with Samsung, Qualcomm’s CEO stated that the chips are already being supplied to the South Korean tech giant. He further CEO Cristiano Amon further added that “And what I can say at this point is we were 75% on Galaxy S22 before the agreement. You should be thinking about we’re going to be much better than that on Galaxy S23 and beyond.”

Notably, this chip deal is a 7 year extension and will also include processors that are outside of Galaxy smartphones like “Galaxy books, Windows PCs, Galaxy tablets, future extended reality devices and other devices.” Amon said that this is “a very significant agreement, very excited and really the companies are much closer together.” In other words, its a multiyear agreement signed by both parties and we can also expect it to include 6G components as well in the future.

Apart from this, the previous rumors had hinted at the Exynos 2230 5G modem under performing compared to Snapdragon X70 modem is one of reasons why Samsung chose to sign an exclusivity deal with Qualcomm. The latter’s flagship chipsets will also be based on the advanced 4nm process from TSMC, which should also deliver improved energy consumption and better performance than any other chip currently in the market.

Samsung is known for offering its flagship phones in Snapdragon and Exynos variants depending on the market. Countries like the US and China have been receiving the Snapdragon variant, while the European countries have been treated to the Exynos edition. When the Snapdragon and Exynos versions of Samsung’s flagship phones were put side by side, it was clear that Exynos was less powerful than Qualcomm’s chip. A new leak from well-known supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shows that there won’t be an Exynos version of the Galaxy S23 line.

According to Kuo, the Galaxy S23’s sole chipset supplier could be Qualcomm. It will be equipped with the next flagship chipset that has an SM8550 part number. It will be built with TSMC’s 4nm manufacturing process. It is most likely to carry the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 marketing name.

While Samsung could be working on the 4nm Exynos 2300, the Galaxy S23 may not adopt the SoC. Kuo claims the reason behind it is that the Exynos 2300 cannot compete with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in all aspects. According to the analyst, the US-based chip maker has designed the SD8G2 to meet the design guidelines of TSMC.

The SD8G2 is expected to offer better computing power and power efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Kuo added that Qualcomm “will gain more market share in the high-end market in 2023.” Since the recession does not affect the high-end market much, Qualcomm and TSMC will significantly benefit from the market share.

In April, Samsung Mobile President TM Roh said that the company is working on a unique processor for Galaxy smartphones. It is unclear how different it will be from the company’s in-house Exynos chipsets.

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.
