Samsung Electronics is anticipated to unveil its latest flagship Exynos 2500 mobile processor, manufactured using a cutting-edge 3-nanometer process, in the upcoming Galaxy S25 smartphone lineup. The new chipset, produced on Samsung Foundry's second-generation 3nm process node with advanced Gate-all-around technology, is primarily focused on enhancing power efficiency. This move signifies Samsung's expansion into the foundry and logic chip industries, building on its position as the world's leading memory chipmaker. Following criticism of the Exynos 2200 mobile application chipset for causing overheating and underperformance in the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung temporarily switched to using Qualcomm's application processors. However, the company made a comeback in the mobile AP sector with the introduction of the Exynos 2400 chip in the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus models. The positive reception of the company's first on-device artificial intelligence features in the flagship smartphone series has bolstered confidence in its chipsets, offering cost savings for its mobile device business and strengthening its chip business. Samsung's upcoming Exynos 2500, featuring the new GAA structure, aims to address power leakage and heat production issues, positioning the company as the first to mass-produce the 3nm chip using this transistor structure. Despite being the first to introduce the 3nm chipmaking process, Samsung has faced profitability challenges, while TSMC, a leading foundry firm, has seen success with its 3nm process, producing chips for Apple's iPhone 15. Market data from Counterpoint Research shows MediaTek and Qualcomm leading the global mobile AP market, with Samsung ranking fifth.
