Samsung Galaxy S25’s Exynos 2500 may use silicon capacitors

Samsung might use silicon capacitors in the Exynos 2500 processor. While the chip’s launch is unsure, the company continues to progress in its development. The company is reportedly planning to equip its next Exynos with silicon capacitors.

According to the report, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has developed test equipment for mass production of Exynos 2500. The company has virtually completed preparations for the production, with mass production yet to commence.

Samsung seemingly developing a silicon capacitors for Exynos 2500, given the AI market boost. It would debut with the first mobile platform – Exynos 2500, which is likely to be used in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus.

Silicon capacitors are a material, targeting the growth of the high-performance AI semiconductor market. They are ultra-thin and located close to the system semiconductor, so they can maintain a stable voltage in response to current changes.

This technology could be proven advantageous in eliminating high-frequency noise, so they are used for high-performance packages. They are manufactured in various forms, such as size, terminal, and capacity, as per customer needs.

Galaxy S25 Series

Samsung will launch the Galaxy S25 series flagships in early next year. The lineup’s non-Ultra models are slated to be powered by Exynos 2500 processors in most markets. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may continue Snapdragon exclusivity similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Exynos 2500’s future hasn’t been decided yet. Samsung has reportedly achieved a lower-than-expected yield on its 3nm process. It would result in Exynos 2500 production cancellation, possible Snapdragon exclusivity, or the arrival of Dimensity chipset.

Earlier today, the Korean tech giant announced its LPDDR5X DRAM verified on MediaTek Dimensity 9400. The companies are working very closely and it won’t be quite surprising if we see a Dimensity for the Galaxy mobile platform for the next-gen Samsung flagships.
