Samsung develops Exynos 2800 chipset for Galaxy S28

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Samsung is reportedly beginning development of its next-generation chipset, the Exynos 2800, which is projected to debut in the Galaxy S28 flagship smartphone line in 2028.

According to GSM Arena on Friday, the Exynos 2800 chipset is said to be produced using the 2-nanometre (SF2P+) fabrication process.

Samsung is reportedly targeting the completion of the chipset design this year and submitting the schematics to the manufacturing division, before proceeding to testing with several generations of samples to refine performance.

Mass production of the chipset, codenamed “Vanguard”, will commence after all testing phases are completed.

The SF2P+ process is described as an intermediate stage before the full implementation of 1.4-nanometre technology in 2029.

Meanwhile, the development of the Exynos 2700 chipset for the Samsung Galaxy S27 smartphone is reported to be progressing smoothly, as it continues to use the 2-nanometre process.

According to a senior executive in the semiconductor industry, Samsung assesses that miniaturising mobile phone chipsets is becoming increasingly difficult each year compared to before.

Instead, the South Korean technology company will place greater emphasis on optimising the balance between chipset design and manufacturing process technology. This approach will be applied to improving yields in new production processes that are technically not yet mature.
