The Exynos 2400 could be making a return next year if a fresh report’s claims are anything to go by. It also appears that Samsung could be breaking the exclusivity cycle of Qualcomm, bringing the next-generation SoC to its flagship lineup. For the time being, we have learned that the upcoming chipset will be mass produced on the company’s 4nm ‘low power performance’ manufacturing process.
A report from TrendForce (via Herald Corp) believes that Samsung’s Galaxy S24 range will feature the Exynos 2400, an SoC that will be equipped with a 4-core GPU. The graphics processor will likely be based on AMD’s architecture, as Samsung and the processor manufacturer recently renewed their licensing agreement. However, the 4-core GPU core count is disappointing as Apple’s low-binned parts, such as the A15 Bionic, also have a 4-core GPU, and it performs better than the competition.
The biggest improvement is that the Exynos 2400 will reportedly be mass produced on Samsung’s 4nm LPP process. For those that do not know, LPP is a power-efficient node that has also been optimized for performance. This manufacturing process is considered to be better than Samsung’s earlier 4nm iterations, which would also explain why the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which has been fabricated on one of these, performed extremely poorly.
There were earlier rumors stating that Samsung was testing the Exynos 2400 with a 10-core CPU, and we are confident that pairing this configuration with the 4-core GPU would make for an exciting release. Unfortunately, it may also result in a power consumption spike, which is not ideal when competing against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is also said to be found in the Galaxy S24 family.
Samsung could also wish to go back to using its
