The exclusive use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 generation of the Galaxy S23 was interpreted by many as a blow to samsungHowever, this does not mean that the South Korean giant has completely thrown in the towel, as the latest leak published by Ice Universe shows what the base specifications could be Exynos 2400.

According to the Ice Universe leak, the Exynos 2400 SoC will be composed of ten cores distributed as follows: one ARM Cortex-X4, two high-performance Cortex-A720, three efficient Cortex-A720 and four Cortex-A520 which should be oriented towards less demanding tasks. It’s important to note that none of these ARM core designs have yet seen the light of day and the leaker hasn’t provided any information about them, so it’s impossible to get an idea of ​​the performance the SoC would offer at least for now.

Exynos SoCs haven’t had a very graceful trajectory in recent years, and it’s because, despite promising a lot on paper, in the moment of truth they ended up behind equivalent Qualcomm models, at least in the range of high . What’s more, Qualcomm itself has switched Samsung to TSCM for the production of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors due to alleged power consumption issues experienced by the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Possible distribution of Exynos 2400 cores.

We’ll see if the Exynos 2400 eventually sees the light of day, although Ice Universe is generally a reliable leaker, so it’s safe to say that Samsung is at least working on its development. The company behind Galaxy smartphones it’s also working to improve its 3nm manufacturing process, which it says has reached a “perfect level”so mass production of chips with such a process might not be far off.

Due to the lack of information, there is speculation that Samsung could remove two cores from the alleged Exynos 2400, leaving it with eight instead of ten. The idea would be to improve efficiency in exchange for losing performance. We’ll see what the company does in the end, but it looks like it will have to improve a lot in a very short time to relaunch the Galaxy S model with one of its own processors in the next generation.
