The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are thought to launch with what Samsung might call the best and most powerful chipset it has ever made in the Exynos 2400. The SoC's projected bragging rights are also now believed to include production using FOWLP, a cutting-edge technique tipped to enhance bandwidth and performance by up to 15% in chips that take up to 40% less space.

GDDR6W launched in 2022 touted as a new kind of extra-high-performance VRAM due to the way it had been made. It is the first semiconductor product from Samsung made using the fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) technique and, thus, backed to get more bandwidth and capacity than a GDDR6X module of similar size.

The FOWLP process allows individual chips to integrate over a wafer of silicon rather than through the medium of a PCB. Accordingly, a GDDR6W module is rated to be 36% "shorter" than a GDDR6X counterpart at only 0.7 microns (μm) in height, even though the former is estimated to be up to 30% faster.

Now, this packaging technology is coming to processors, starting with the Exynos series, according to well-known leaker @Tech_Reve. Mass production for these supposedly advanced chips might begin in "the fourth quarter" (presumably of 2023), raising suspicion that these first-gen FOWLP chips could include the new 2400 allegedly destined for the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus.
