Samsung is keeping Exynos alive to keep the Korean unions happy, that's all.

AMD collaboration will not save Exynos.

If Samsung wants a cheaper option without paying the Qualcomm tax, it can use one of the newer Mediatek Dimensity chips, which are superior than anything Exynos.

Let's put it another way: if Exynos chips were that good (performance, value for money), it would be found in some other non-Samsung phones. The fact that this didn't happen, tells you everything you need to know.

Quote from: K 0 on July 06, 2025, 20:32:42Gpu performance seems very good ,well above my expectation . I will looking forward to Exynos 2600 now. CPU side is very interesting. It has x925 but has much less IPC than dimensty 9400's x925. I expected around 2500 single core since it has 3.3ghz , lower than 3.6 GHz on dimensty 9400.

What is IPC in   your definition?

So, bottom line, Samsung 3nm GAAFET can finally match TSMC 4nm, while costing more?

I think the issue is going to be how much it costs compared to TSMC processes, and how much reliable are their yield rates.
