Samsung's Upcoming 2 nm Chip Will Focus on Efficiency: The CPU May Change

The new Exynos 2600, Samsung's first chip made at 2 nm, has shown good results, although it is not yet at the level of Qualcomm's rival. In the meantime, however, the Korean company is looking to the future and is already working on the Exynos 2700, which aims to resolve all the issues of the first generation of 2 nm chips.

The goal is to reduce consumption, even at the cost of accepting a performance gap with rivals who are preparing to move to TSMC's 2 nm node, a solution capable of offering an additional technological leap.

Focus on Efficiency

The future Exynos 2700 will use a new evolution of the 2 nm GA production process with the aim of achieving more performance and, above all, increased efficiency. The first benchmarks that appeared online offer still few indications about the generational leap but confirm the new architecture chosen by Samsung.

Designers at the Korean company are ready to change the configuration for the CPU, while maintaining the 10 cores. They will shift from a 1+3+6 configuration to a 4+1+4+1 configuration. The chip could have more high-performance cores, although the frequencies may be lower compared to the previous generation.

Samsung's greatest concern would be related to efficiency. To keep up with rivals, indeed, the new Exynos 2700 cannot consume too much and must be optimized with the utmost attention.

The debut of the Exynos 2700 is expected to coincide with the launch of the new Galaxy S27 phones, in just under a year. In the coming months, there will be ample opportunity to assess what progress the Korean company has made.
