Samsung accelerates the production of exynos 2600, its first chip with 2 nm technology

According to local sources, Samsung has started mass production of exynos 2600, the processor that will give life to the next Galaxy S26. This chip will be the first to use the node 2 nanometers SF2 with GAA technology (Gate-Lall-Around)positioning Samsung Foundry as a direct competitor in front of the TSMC domain in advanced processes.

Samsung has already achieved Yields 50% in its 2 nm process

After the performance problems of exynos 2500 in 3 Nm, which forced it to exclude it from the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung has redoubled efforts. The first tests with the new SF2 process showed a performance of the 20-30 %but in recent months he has managed to overcome the 40 % of Yieldindicating a significant improvement in production efficiency. Even, according to the information that comes to us, Samsung could reach 50%.

On the other hand, the company plans to complete the stage of Risk production before the end of the year. If everything marches as planned, the mass manufacture of exynos 2600 could begin at the beginning of 2026, just in time for the launch of the Galaxy S26 in the first quarter.

What is evident is that the success of this chip is vital for Samsung. And not only for the mobile business itself, but also to complete your Technological Independence Strategy. In addition, the improvement of the SF2 process opens new commercial opportunities, since more customers could opt for Samsung Foundry in front of TSMC, whose production lines are saturated due to the requests of Apple, AMD and NVIDIA.
