Samsung has reached a critical stage in the development process of its new mobile processor, the Exynos 2600. In order for the company to use this processor in the Galaxy S26 series, it must complete the design process by the third quarter of 2025. However, the realization of this goal seems to depend on the company overcoming the problems it has experienced in this process.

Samsung’s Exynos 2600 processor may be delayed

The company has been trying to develop its 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) production technology for a long time. However, current efficiency rates are still around 30%. In contrast, it is stated that TSMC has reached an efficiency of over 50% in the same process. This situation has been met with great surprise in the technology sector.

The inefficiency experienced by Samsung in the production phase may delay the mass production of the Exynos 2600. It was previously said that the prototype production of the Exynos 2600 would start in May. However, increasing production efficiency alone will not be enough for the chipset to be used in the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung will also need to put the 2nm GAA process into mass production on time and without any problems.

The company’s focus on the Exynos 2600 seems to have pushed the launch of the Exynos 2500 to the background. The decision Samsung will make in the upcoming period will determine whether the Exynos 2600 will be included in the Galaxy S26 series.

This process will be a critical turning point in Samsung’s mobile processor strategy. So what do you think about this? Do you think Samsung will be successful with its new generation processors?
