Samsung Exynos 2600 Brings 2nm to Smartphones

Samsung’s Exynos 2600 marks a strategic shift, bringing the first 2nm smartphone SoC to market via vertical integration and new non‑monolithic die design.

The Exynos 2600 represents a critical pivot in Samsung’s semiconductor strategy. By leveraging its own foundry, Samsung has successfully brought the first 2nm smartphone SoC to market. This vertical integration allows the company to claim a time-to-market advantage on the SF2 gate-all-around (GAA) node ahead of its primary competitors. However, achieving this milestone required a significant departure from the monolithic die layouts of previous generations.
