- Samsung began mass producing the Exynos 2600 in late 2025, and Samsung MX plans to use it in Galaxy S26 and S26+ in most countries, while the S26 Ultra uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 For Galaxy.
- Samsung has completed a basic process design kit for its second‑generation 2nm node (SF2P) and has sent guidelines to Design Solution Partners to promote SF2P over SF2.
- SF2P is expected to power Samsung’s Exynos 2700 and is reportedly targeted for Tesla’s AI6 under a previously reported $16.5 billion engagement.
- Reports also point to orders from MicroBT and Canaan for 2nm GAA chips, as Samsung pursues yield gains and a foundry profitability goal set for 2027.
