Multiple sources have suggested that the Galaxy S25 series might not feature an Exynos variant. There are speculations that Samsung is considering the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 as a potential alternative. Nonetheless, a fresh report from Hankuyang indicates that Samsung hasn’t entirely ruled out the Exynos 2500.
Decision Timeline
According to the report, Samsung is expected to make a decision regarding the Exynos 2500 between the end of this month and the beginning of next month. This choice will hinge on the yields of Samsung's 3GAP, which have reportedly been quite low. However, Samsung has previously mentioned its efforts to enhance these yields, and we should find out in the coming days if these efforts have yielded any significant results.
Chip Details
Earlier this year, Samsung confirmed that the Exynos 2500 was developed on an unnamed "3 nm" node, even referencing the chip in one of its financial disclosures. The chip was later discovered on a benchmarking site, featuring a 10-core CPU and a next-gen RDNA3-based Radeon iGPU, which showed impressive performance improvements compared to the Exynos 2400.
