It has been leaked that Samsung has abandoned its 1.4nm production plan for the Exynos 2800. The company is reportedly shifting towards an advanced 2nm process for more stable and efficient production.
Samsung has begun preparations for the Exynos 2700 and Exynos 2800, which are expected to power its next flagship phone series. As you know, competition in the semiconductor industry is not limited to merely transitioning to smaller manufacturing processes. The balance between efficiency and cost has become just as crucial as technology itself. Samsung, it seems, may have changed its plans for the Exynos 2800.
2nm is Coming Instead of 1.4nm
According to emerging information, the company has abandoned its previously planned 1.4nm production process for the Exynos 2800. Instead, Samsung's enhanced 2nm GAA process, SF2P+, will be preferred. Initial plans aimed for the Exynos 2800 to be produced on the 1.4nm (SF1.4) process by 2027. However, this manufacturing technology has not yet reached sufficient maturity, leading to low yield rates and increased cost risks.
It was previously shared that the company is already working on its second-generation 2nm GAA process (SF2P) and plans to introduce its enhanced version, SF2P+, in the coming period. Furthermore, the current 2nm GAA manufacturing process is said to have yield rates of approximately 60%. This is a significant factor explaining why a cautious approach is being taken for transitioning to more advanced production technologies.
In Samsung's roadmap, the Exynos 2700 model precedes the Exynos 2800. This chip, developed under the codename "Ulysses," is planned for wider use in the Galaxy S27 series. The most significant development for the Exynos 2800 is that it will come with a GPU developed in-house by the company.
