Samsung Reportedly Begins Mass Production For Exynos 2700

Samsung is reportedly transitioning into mass production for the Exynos 2700 processor, according to a recent report from South Korean publication The Elec. The source, citing industry insiders, states that the chip's production volume has surpassed 10% of last year's Exynos 2600. The goal is to meet the demand for a new Pro model, with four variants expected: the base Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra.

The chipset's distribution will vary by region. In South Korea and Europe, the Exynos 2700 will power the vanilla, Plus, and Pro models. Conversely, US and Chinese versions are expected to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is also being considered for the ultra-premium Galaxy S27 Ultra, though the final decision rests with the mobile division.

Exynos 2700 boasts a second-generation 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) node, offering a 12% performance boost, 25% power efficiency enhancement, and 8% reduction in chip area compared to its predecessor. The chip will be equipped with Arm C2 CPU cores and the Xclipse 970 GPU. The Heat Path Block (HPB) technology is aimed at improving thermal management, with the fastest core potentially reaching 2.88GHz. However, these claims remain unconfirmed, pending official confirmation from Samsung.
