Samsung Galaxy S27 series might still be a ways off, but the leaks are already starting to roll in. Today, we’re taking a look at the Exynos 2700, the chip that’s set to power the Samsung Galaxy S27 series smartphones in 2027.
Exynos 2700: A Closer Look
Korean media (via AndroidAuthority) reports, Samsung is currently developing the Exynos 2700, codenamed “Ulysses.” This chip is expected to be manufactured using Samsung’s second-generation 2nm process, which promises significant improvements in performance, power efficiency, and area size.
- Performance Boost: Samsung aims for a 12% increase in performance compared to the previous-generation process.
- Power Efficiency: Expect a 25% reduction in power consumption.
- Smaller Footprint: The chip’s area size is expected to shrink by 8%.
Samsung’s Chip Challenges
While the Exynos 2700 looks promising, Samsung has been facing some challenges in its chip manufacturing. Low yield rates for 3nm Exynos 2500 have led to speculation that the Galaxy S25 series might be powered exclusively by Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Additionally, Samsung’s 2nm process has reportedly encountered issues at its Texas manufacturing plant, with yields as low as 10% to 20%. This is far below the typical target of 60% or more for mass production.
Samsung Galaxy S27 series is shaping up to be an exciting lineup, and the Exynos 2700 is a key component. As we get closer to the S27’s release, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the development of this promising processor.
Editor’s Note:
While there are challenges ahead for Samsung’s chip manufacturing, the potential improvements offered by the 2nm process make it a chip to watch.
