Samsung ramps Exynos 2700 production as Galaxy S27 Ultra chip choice remains undecided

Samsung has initiated mass production of the Exynos 2700 chipset, targeting volumes 10% higher than its predecessor to support the new Galaxy S27 Pro. While the chip is confirmed for the S27, S27+, and S27 Pro in Korea and Europe, the decision for the flagship S27 Ultra remains pending. Internal tests show the Exynos 2700 outperforming Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 in multi-core benchmarks, but Samsung is still evaluating thermal performance and production costs before finalizing the top-tier model's silicon.

Early Benchmarks Reveal Apple M6 Trails A20 Pro in Single-Core Speed

A leaked Geekbench 6.3 result for the Apple M6 chip shows strong multi-core gains over the M5 but trails the iPhone 18 Pro's A20 Pro in single-core performance. The M6 scored 4,610 single-core and 20,676 multi-core, while the A20 Pro reached 4,725 single-core. This suggests Apple prioritized clock speed in its mobile chip over its desktop counterpart, despite the Mac mini's better thermal headroom.

Galaxy S27 Ultra set for a speed boost with 2nm chip and UFS 5.0 storage

Samsung announced UFS 5.0 storage with up to 10.8 GB/s read and 9.5 GB/s write, plus 40% better power efficiency and a smaller package, aimed at accelerating on‑device AI and overall performance. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to pair this with a 2nm chip, which could make it the first handset to adopt the standard, delivering a snappier experience. Mass production of UFS 5.0 is slated for Q4 2026, signaling a potential competitive edge for the S27 Ultra.

Samsung Aims for 2nm Chips in Galaxy S26, Catching Up to Apple

Samsung is developing a 2nm chipset, codenamed 'Thetis,' for its Exynos 2600, expected to be used in the Galaxy S26 series launching in January 2026. This chipset will feature an in-house developed GPU and will be mass-produced starting in 2025. However, Apple is set to release its iPhone 17 with a 2nm chipset by TSMC in September 2025, making it the first to market with this technology.

Samsung Begins Development of 2nm Chips to Rival Apple

Samsung has reportedly started developing its 2nm chip technology, codenamed 'Thetis,' with plans to use it in future Exynos releases. This follows the anticipated mass production of its 3nm GAA Exynos 2500 chipset later this year. Despite challenges with yield rates, Samsung aims to reduce its reliance on Qualcomm and enhance its foundry business, potentially surpassing TSMC's 2nm process.

"iPhone 17 Pro's 2nm Chip Production On Schedule Despite Challenges"

Despite facing challenges such as an earthquake in Taiwan and high startup costs for a 2nm plant in Arizona, Apple chipmaker TSMC remains on track to produce the 2nm chip for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in 2025. The earthquake resulted in the loss of a few hundred thousand chips, but insurance will cover the damages, and TSMC is making progress towards its production schedule. The company is also building a 2nm plant in Arizona, with plans for additional advanced plants in Germany and Japan, and trial production is set to begin in the second half of 2024.
