Samsung has started mass production of prototypes of its first processor, the Exynos 2600, developed with 2 nanometer (nm) production technology. This processor is planned to be used in the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to be introduced in 2026. The company aims to achieve increased performance and energy efficiency by switching to 2nm technology after the Exynos 2500, which was developed with the 3nm production process.

Samsung will come out with its 2nm processor, the Exynos 2600

In the production process carried out by Samsung Foundry, mass production of Exynos 2600 prototypes began last month. In this process, which started after the completion of the production of the Exynos 2500, approximately 30 percent efficiency was achieved in the first test production.

Since then, production efficiency has been increased, and the number of wafers used has also been increased. Samsung Foundry and System LSI units work together to increase the efficiency of the processor to over 50 percent. These studies focus on increasing production quality without any decrease in performance.

Samsung’s goal is to start risk production for the Exynos 2600 before the end of the year. Risk production is known as the stage where comprehensive tests of the chip’s functionality and production safety are carried out. If this stage is completed successfully, mass production will begin at the end of the year.

If the Exynos 2600 completes the verification processes without any problems, it will be used in the Galaxy S26 series to be introduced in February 2026. These models are planned to be released in late February or early March.

Samsung’s new processor is seen as an important technological innovation that will increase the company’s competitiveness in the sector. So what do you think about this? You can share your views with us in the comments section below.
