Samsung Creating the Most Powerful Chip in Its History

Samsung has begun preliminary testing of its future System on a Chip (SoC), the Exynos 2800. Among the highlights of the new product is the transition to the cutting-edge 1.4nm process technology. According to insider SPYGO19726, the processor will feature specifications that previously seemed impossible for mobile platforms.

Giant Cache and Record Core Frequency

A key feature of the Exynos 2800 will be the increase of the system-level cache (SLC) to a record 96 MB; for comparison, current solutions, such as the Dimensity 9500, offer only 10 MB. This amount of memory will significantly reduce latency and increase bandwidth, as the CPU, GPU, and neural module will be able to access data instantly without constant requests to the main memory.

The processor architecture includes 10 cores in a "2 + 4 + 4" configuration. The two primary cores can clock up to 4.50 GHz.

Target Segment Shift

Due to the large size of the system cache, the chip die will be too big for standard smartphones. Therefore, Samsung plans to use the Exynos 2800 in future 2028 Chromebooks, which could become a direct competitor to Apple's MacBook Neo in the portable computer market.

On the graphics side, the integration of the Xclipse 980 GPU is expected. Instead of traditional ray tracing, it will support path tracing technology, bringing visualization to the level of desktop stations.

The Exynos 2800 is expected to debut in 2028.
