'Samsung has started developing a 2nm chipset'

Samsung has started developing a mobile chip based on a 2nm process. This is what the South Korean news medium ETNews writes. Samsung would like to place the SoC in the Galaxy S26 smartphones from 2026.

ETNews writes that the project has been given the project name Thetis within the company walls, but that the chip will ultimately be known as the Exynos 2600 Certain Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphones have an Exynos 2400 SoC that is built using a 4nm process. The mobile SoC should go into mass production from the second half of 2025.

Samsung announced last year that it wants to produce mobile chips using a 2 nm process in 2025. The South Korean company then claimed that a chip at 2 nanometers can deliver twelve percent better performance, compared to a 3nm chipset. A chip on 2nm would also be 25 percent more energy efficient and could be made up to five percent smaller.
