Exynos 2400 Development On Samsung’s 4nm Process Is Showing Progress, But Company Rumored To Have Used Unethical Way To Increase Yields

wccftech.com:

After failing to launch or use any of its smartphone chipsets this year for its flagships, Samsung is rumored to be making healthy progress with its Exynos 2400, to the extent that there is a possibility that this becomes the next flagship SoC. The first obstacle was mass-producing its 4nm wafers with a higher yield, which the company appears to have done with its 3rd-generation node. However, digging around, we found the methods followed to increase those yields might not sit well with popular opinion.

Samsung’s newest 4nm process is said to be called 4LPP or 4LPP+, according to Twitter user Quadrans Muralis, claiming that the company has made positive strides with the Exynos 2400. Deeming the silicon as successful, Quadrans Muralis believes that it is now up to Samsung how it wants to use the upcoming SoC. However, where he speaks about the progress of the Korean giant’s chip division, Revegnus, another Twitter user, says the company went to TSMC’s suppliers and allegedly stole their yield capture methods.

Naturally, these allegations piqued our interest, so when asked who is claiming Samsung’s unethical practices, we were provided a link to a report published by Economic News Daily. The machine translation also states what Revegnus was referring to, but the wording had us confused for a little while. Quadrans Muralis was quick to debunk the rumor, stating that Taiwanese media have failed to provide strong evidence against their claims.

While their debate continues, we remind our readers that one of these Twitter users was previously engaged in an earlier conversation surrounding the Exynos 2400. Apparently, one rumor claims that the upcoming Galaxy S24 series will stick with using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoC exclusively,
