10-core Exynos

Data shared by TrendForce suggests that the Galaxy S24 will be equipped with Exynos 2400 chip, featuring 10 CPU cores and fabricated on a 4nm LPP process. It means Samsung may not take risks again by using its latest 3nm process in the next flagship Exynos.

Meanwhile, power consumption and thermal issues are raising Samsung’s tension, which it must have to solve. The Exynos 2200 already damaged the Galaxy S22’s reign, forcing Qualcomm to make a major fabrication switch from Samsung Foundry to TSMC.

Europe will get Exynos next year?

As of now, it’s difficult to determine what could be the company’s plan for the Exynos 2400 processor and Galaxy S24 series. Following its conventional strategy, Samsung may ship the Exynos-powered Galaxy S lineup in Europe in next year, which getting Qualcomm this year.

Europe is a key market for Samsung, where it makes big profits. Europeans are quite happy this year as they finally got a powerful flagship Galaxy phone, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. If the S24 lineup brings back Exynos, the company may surely see sales drop in corresponding markets.

Samsung has signed a multi-year partnership with Qualcomm, resulting in a custom (fine-tuned) variant of Snapdragon for the Galaxy S23 series. As reported earlier, the company will continue to bring custom Snapdragon chips with next-generation Galaxy flagships including the Galaxy Z5 lineup.
