Samsung and its next-generation chipset, the Exynos 2700, have started to get included in a lot of reports, hinting at its development under the Korean giant’s second-generation 2nm GAA process, also known as SF2P. Where the Exynos 2600 provided the necessary stepping-stones, its successor will take the reins and solidify Samsung’s position as a worthy player in the chipset space, but more importantly, the silicon’s arrival is expected to boost the firm financially too. According to the latest report, the company’s non-memory business will receive a nice bump with the Exynos 2700’s launch.
The latest estimate claims that the Exynos 2700 will enable Samsung’s non-memory division to pocket $112.8 million
Even though the Exynos 2700 will exclusively be used in next year’s Galaxy S27 family, it will still be considered a financial gain for Samsung. The company has multiple divisions, with its LSI arm responsible for manufacturing chipsets, camera sensors, and 5G modems. The company’s Mobile Experience sector is tasked with purchasing the Exynos 2700 from LSI, contributing to the latter’s revenue. We have reported that Samsung’s next 2nm GAA SoC is expected to make up 50 percent of all chipset shipments found in the Galaxy S27 lineup.
With the company relying less on Qualcomm for future flagship smartphone releases, its LSI division will enjoy the spoils for next year. According to DigiTimes, the Exynos 2700 is scheduled to enter mass production by Q4 2026, with this advancement bringing in around 163 billion won in operating profit ($112.84 million) for Samsung’s non-memory business. The SF2P node’s basic design process was reportedly completed last year, and with the company aggressively promoting the new technology, it indicates major progress in this area.
However, it is strange that the first-generation 2nm GAA yields are currently reported to be 50 percent, so unless Samsung is keeping these figures undisclosed, we don’t see any reason for it to jump to the SF2P process if it hadn’t stabilized the yields of the first iteration. Then again, an early report stated that Samsung’s SF2P+ node, which is the third-generation 2nm GAA process, will be implemented within a couple of years, highlighting a massive roadmap.
