Samsung announced at its second quarter financial report conference that it will expand a large number of new mobile SoCs that have 2-nanometer GAA processes in the second half of this year. Although it has not specified which chip it is, the market generally believes that it refers to the Exynos 2600. In the subsequent question session, an analyst confirmed that the chip group was Exynos 2600, and Samsung intends to regain competition in the flagship mobile phone market.
In the performance part, Samsung only mentioned that the performance of the new chip's NPU (Neural Processing Unit) will be significantly better than that of the previous generation SoCs, and no other details were disclosed.
Comprehensive current market news, Exynos 2600 entered the prototype mass production stage in June. At that time, the industry estimated that Samsung's 2-nanometer yield was only about 30%, but compared with Samsung's early difficulties in the 3-nanometer process, it has improved a lot. Samsung also expects to increase the yield to 70% by the end of the year to attract major customers such as Qualcomm and Broadcom to place orders.
At the Q&A event of the community platform X, analyst Bryan Ma proved that the Exynos 2600 will be Samsung's first SoC with 2nm GAA process, but Samsung has not yet mentioned its computing or GPU performance, and only emphasizes that the NPU performance will significantly surpass the previous Exynos 2500 chips.
Samsung Q&A: “Exynos 2600 will be the first flagship chipset fabricated on the latest 2nm GAA process [via Samsung Foundry]…2600 offers a significant improvement in NPU performance versus the prior version with enhanced support for on-device AI functionality "

According to Geekbench 6 data, the Exynos 2600 uses a 10-core CPU architecture, which proves that Samsung is actively conducting tests and preparing for future releases. As for why Samsung has not revealed its performance data, the prediction is that it is still in the chip improvement stage.
It is reported that Samsung will introduce "Heat Pass Block" (HPB) hot-transmission technology this time to improve heat dissipation, and at the same time, it will be paired with "fan-out round-type packaging" (FOWLP), which further enhances heat resistance and improves multi-core computing performance. This 2-nanometer chip is a key battle for Samsung, and it must be in full, otherwise it may miss the turnaround mechanism.
