The Exynos 2700 has gone into volume production at Samsung, according to The Elec, with output more than 10% above the Exynos 2600’s because the Galaxy S27 Pro joins the lineup.
The S27, S27+, and Pro should carry the chip in Korea and Europe. Samsung Galaxy S27 series could get more expensive, especially if you want more storage, while American and Chinese buyers, along with other regions, get Snapdragon versions. The Ultra model, though, is still undecided, and Samsung’s own divisions reportedly disagree on its processor.
Why is the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s chip still undecided?
System LSI, Samsung’s chip-design arm, wants the 2700 in it, since a win would lift its earnings and reputation. MX, the mobile unit, has the last word, and it is reportedly checking performance and thermals, weighing Qualcomm’s pricing, and confirming the SF2P line can supply enough chips.
Cost may tip the balance. According to The Elec, Samsung is raising the Exynos share partly to lean less on Qualcomm, which fits earlier reports of a pricier Galaxy S27 family as memory costs climb. If Samsung picks its own chip for the S27 Ultra, it would be the first Exynos-powered Ultra since the S22 Ultra in 2022.
Does the Exynos 2700 have the performance to win?
Claims say internal Geekbench 6 runs put the Exynos 2700 9.5% ahead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 in multi-core work. Qualcomm’s chip has posted 12,856, so the Exynos would top 14,000, though Qualcomm likely keeps the single-core edge. Short runs on unreleased silicon say little about power and thermal management, which MX is reportedly examining.
Earlier Exynos 2700 testing hinted that Samsung may be focusing just as much on efficiency as outright speed. One engineering sample reportedly delivered Exynos 2600-class performance below 3GHz, while a new Heat Path Block design has also been linked to the chip for improved cooling.
