It looks like Samsung could be planning to revive the Exynos chipset and launch the Exynos 2400 SoC. According to the latest rumors, the upcoming Exynos 2400 SoC will feature 10 CPU cores and be built on a 4nm LPP (Low Power Plus) process.

Potential Power Consumption and Thermal Issues with the Exynos 2400 SOC

According to the story by Sam Mobile, this may be a challenge for Samsung due to power consumption and thermal issues, and it looks like the proportion of Exynos 2400 SoC to Snapdragon chips used for the Galaxy S24 series may be leaning more toward the latter.

The Exynos 2400 SoC is said to include 1x Cortex-X4 primary core, 2x Cortex-A720 high-frequency cores, 3x Cortex-A720 low-frequency cores, and 4x Cortex A520 energy-efficiency cores.

It's possible Samsung will also use FoWLP (Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging), which is a method for enclosing all of the integrated circuits in a smaller footprint. As for the Galaxy S24 series itself, the rumors suggest that Samsung may unveil it in January-February 2024.

A Possible Return of Exynos SoC to the Galaxy S24 Series

It is expected to have three variants: a base, a Plus, and an Ultra. These rumors should always be taken with a pinch of salt until Samsung officially confirms its plans. The possibility of a new Exynos chipset with the Galaxy S24 series is exciting.

The latest reports, via Tech Reve on Twitter, on Samsung's plan to revive the Exynos chipset for the Galaxy S24 series are promising, but nothing is confirmed yet.

Rumored to be built on a 4nm LPP process, the Exynos 2400 SoC features 10 CPU cores, but its power consumption, and thermal design may hinder the device's chances of being used in the upcoming series of Samsung's flagships.

Exynos 2400 to Include Innovative FoWLP Design for Increased AP Market Share

It's believed that the Exynos 2400 will adopt a FoWLP design, enclosing all of its integrated circuits in a smaller footprint. Recently, a report by Fone Arena shared how Samsung wants to increase its AP market share with Exynos 2200 and how it was working on 2400 for the Galaxy S24.

This would mean the device could have 1x Cortex-X4 primary core, 2x Cortex-A720 high-frequency cores, 3x Cortex-A720 low-frequency cores, and 4x Cortex A520 energy-efficiency cores.

Regarding when we can expect the Galaxy S24 series, rumors indicate that Samsung will launch the devices in January-February 2024 in three variants: a base, a Plus, and an Ultra.

Samsung Showing Interest in Exynos 2400 for Upcoming Series

The potential use of the Exynos 2400 SoC in the upcoming series may be a game-changer for Samsung. The company has long relied on Snapdragon for its SoCs, so utilizing the Exynos 2400 could refresh its lineup and improve power efficiency and thermal performance.

At the same time, opting for the Exynos 2400 may be too ambitious of a goal to reach before the release of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. Only time will tell whether or not the Exynos 2400 will be used for the series, but for now, Samsung fans have good reason to be excited.
