Samsung has unveiled the Exynos 2400 as part of the Galaxy S24 series, and details regarding the upcoming Exynos 2500 SoC have now emerged. According to information from leaker Connor, the Exynos 2500 will also feature a Hexa-core architecture, utilizing a 3.3GHz~3.2GHz Cortex X5 Prime Core.
The reported changes include replacing the existing 2 x ARM A720 CPUs and 3 x ARM A720 CPUs with A730 CPUs clocked at speeds of up to 2.5GHz~2.3GHz. The status of the 4x ARM A520 CPUs is said to remain, although the specific clock speed remains undisclosed.
It's important to note that these frequencies are provisional and subject to potential adjustments in the final stages of development, mirroring the pattern observed with the Exynos 2400. Depending on Samsung's ultimate decisions, the final product may see a minor 100MHz increase or potentially no difference at all.
Earlier speculations suggest that the Exynos 2500 chip will employ Samsung's cutting-edge 3nm GAA process, a technology not yet utilized in smartphone or tablet chips. In comparison, the Exynos 2400 currently utilizes the 4LPP+ process, which falls behind in performance and area efficiency when compared to TSMC's N4P process employed in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Notably, the Exynos 2400 stands out as the first processor to incorporate a Fan-out Wafer Level Package (FOWLP) to enhance thermal management. This distinction becomes evident when examining early thermal test comparisons between the Exynos 2400 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
