Exynos 2500: Company executive confirms next-gen chip will be manufactured on Samsung's 3 nm node

Initial benchmarks suggest the Exynos 2400 falls short of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300, although one can't take them at face value as neither has been run on a production device. Nonetheless, Samsung is optimistic about the Exynos 2400's GPU performance and claims (via fnnews) that the Xclipse 720 will fare better than the competition.

Subsequently, the executive, Park Yong-in, President of Samsung LSI division, confirmed something that has been talked about extensively in the past few months. The next-gen Exynos 2500 (tentative) will be manufactured on Samsung's 3 nm gate-all-around node (3GAP). This should theoretically put it ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400, both of which will likely use TSMC's FinFET-based N3E node.

Rumoured specifications of the Exynos 2500 have changed many times over the past year. Initially, it was supposed to feature a nine-core CPU with four Cortex-X cores. Subsequently, the core count went up to ten, and now, it is rumoured to mimic the Exynos 2400 with one Cortex-X, five Cortex-A7xx and four Cortex-X5xx cores. There is no information about its GPU, but one can reasonably assume it to be a low-power SKU based on RDNA 3.
