Samsung is losing money with its exynos processors. No one knows what your shock plan will be

Samsung Electronics has a problem with its LSI division (Large Scale Integration) System. This, in charge of the design and development of chip and semiconductor solutions, is the one behind the processors, sensors and circuits integrated in the different Samsung devices. Not only is it responsible for manufacturing Exynosit is also the one behind the image sensors ISOCEL or the company’s modems 5g.

According to Korean sourcesSamsung is considering integral reorganization to save the situation of this division, currently in an unwanted economic situation. The company has denied everything.

Despite this, there is something undeniable: We do not know what will happen to exynos processors in high -end modelsand the exynos 2600 will be one of the keys to the future of this division.

The exynos division is losing money

The System LSI division has registered Estimated losses in 1 billion Wones in 2024a result that is partly attributed to the inability to integrate the processor Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. This model ended up reaching the market with Qualcomm processor, after the desired performance in its own processor was not achieved.

Kwon Hyung-Man, General Director of the System LSI Division, acknowledged in February that The performance of the business unit will remain slow Due to the loss of launching this chip for the Galaxy S25 series.

To face the crisis, there are those who propose that the company would unite the chips manufacturing units with the manufacturing of mobile phones. Having both the design of smartphones and the chips under the same roof, a door opens to improve the efficiency and integration of the components. A challenge, since this integration could negatively affect the financial performance of this last division.

Although Korean sources point in this direction, Samsung Electronics has denied that (for the moment), this reorganization will become effective.

The future of exynos 2600

The success or failure of the next generation of processors, The exynos 2600 could be decisive for the future of the LSI division. Currently, the company is focused on the development of this chip using the process SF2 (2 nanometers), hoping to reverse the current situation. Recently, the initial stage of exynos 2600 has been completed, which marks an important milestone in the manufacturing process, since it implies the transition from production to production.

Samsung faces a huge challenge. Qualcomm is in one of the best moments in its history, with a 8 elite that has shown unprecedented performance, Mediatek planting And, for the first time in many years, at the height of its direct rivals, and an Apple that remains one of the fundamental pieces at the time of mark the way in chips yield.

Internal coordination and efficiency in the development of the next Exynos 2600 chip will be key to recovering profitability in this division. The final decision on the reorganization of the System LSI division and the future of Exynos could have a significant impact on the company’s strategy in the coming years.
