According to a survey published this week by the South Korean portal The Elec, new smartphones Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra will run exclusively on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors.

Until the moment release of the version based on the Exynos 2300 chipset is not plannedas Samsung SoC will face problems due to factors such as low performance, high temperatures and power consumption even in the most advanced 4nm version.

Sources say Samsung internally recognizes the superiority of Qualcomm’s chips. The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be manufactured by TSMC using an advanced 4nm process. Recent leaks indicate what it will bring about a 20% performance jump over the current Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Exynos 2300 repositioned as an intermediary?

Despite these problems, Samsung will not stop producing Exynos 2300. Instead, the company plans to position it in the mid-range chipset segment, with the ability to equip other smartphone lines.

The strategy would even be to invest in a double production line, being one at 4 nm and the other at 5 nma more stable manufacturing process and lower costs, which could soon improve Samsung’s bottom line.

It should be noted that the name Exynos 2300 is not official, because. since the chip has not yet been demonstrated by Samsung.

Qualcomm and MediaTek will compete for leadership

As Samsung revisits its strategy (and possibly its chipset architecture for future releases), Samsung Qualcomm and MediaTek are gearing up for tough competition in the high-end smartphone segment.

Qualcomm will host the Snapdragon Summit event on November 15, the date when the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be officially unveiled. There are reports that the chipset will come in two versions providing good performance and efficiency gains.

already MediaTek announces Dimensity 9200 on November 8th. Tests show that the chip’s GPU outperforms the Apple A16 Bionic GPU found in the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. See the results of comparative tests in the following article.
