The world of semiconductors has a look set on the next generation of integrated circuits manufactured in lithographic processes of 2 nm. Meanwhile, the most advanced processors for mobile phones continue to use the 3 Nm processes. Giants such as TSMC have demonstrated their good work with proposals such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitehe Apple A18 Pro Apple, and even the Xiaomi Xring 01.
Now it is Samsung’s turn. The company has presented its Exynos 2500and it is much more than a processor. It is the company’s great opportunity to dissipate doubts about the performance of its mobile chips, one of the keys for the company’s semiconductor division to remain alive. Between surrender and reinvent the design of its highest range mobile processors, Samsung has chosen the second option.
Why is it important. The Samsung Exynos 2500 It has been playing since last yearwith a production that did not enter into mass for the low performance he showed in the leaked tests. Going forward with the proposal does not show only that Samsung trusts this proposal: it is a message to the world about the point where they are and can become semiconductors.
The company has not revealed what device this processor will premiere but, taking into account that there are Rumors on the table about a new unpackedit is more than likely to know him soon.
The exynos 2500. I will not get bored with excessive technical data from the processor. Your keys are summarized in a simple way.
- It has a ten -core design, just like Xiaomi’s own processor. It is the only high -end processor, next to the Xring, with this design. It is its greatest particularity.
- Promises to be 39% more powerful in the process of AI.
- Supports cameras of up to 320 megapixels.
- It is built in the 3 Nm GAA process.
- Its largest nucleus is up to 15% more powerful than its predecessor.
The main doubts are how these numbers will be translated in real use. Its architecture is quite similar to that of Xiaomi Xring (with Cortex X925, A725 and A520) and a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU that will have to compete with the best adreno.
The message. Ten -core CPU, cameras of 320 MPenergy efficiency and improvements in AI. Samsung has not fallen excessively Marketinians nor has he made promises that he cannot fulfill. It is a more powerful processor than the previous one, centered on AI and with support for the best technologies of the moment. The rest is about to prove.
The key to Samsung. Samsung has been facing problems with its semiconductor division for years. Lose clients like Google To provide the pixel with their processor, it is one of the most recent blows, and survive to arrive with decent performance to the 2 Nm career is crucial for the future of the company.
The company has delayed two of its most important projects today: the construction of its second manufacturing plant of avant -garde chips in Taylor (USA) and in Pyeongtaek (South Korea). They are projects that are still underway And they will be key to the development of their semiconductors but … it will use without customers. Exynos 2500 is the most recent test of the point where Samsung is in mobile chips. If it fails, the company will have it more difficult than ever to continue attracting investment.
