Samsung plans to introduce the Exynos 2700 system-on-chip in early 2027. The chip will power half of all Galaxy S27 shipments when they launch next year. This marks a significant increase from the 25 percent adoption rate Samsung used for its previous Exynos 2600 processor.
Adoption rate reaches 50 percent of all Galaxy S27 shipments next year.
The new SoC relies on an improved iteration of Samsung's 2nm Gate-All-Around manufacturing process. Mass production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026. The chip will launch globally just before the Galaxy S27 series hits the market.
Samsung currently achieves a yield rate of approximately 60 percent on its 2nm nodes. Industry reports indicate that reaching at least 70 percent is necessary to convince external customers to switch from TSMC's advanced processes. Samsung has not yet confirmed whether it will meet this higher target before the Exynos 2700 launch.
The increased adoption of the Exynos 2700 aims to reduce Samsung's reliance on Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips for its flagship devices. This strategy also positions Samsung to compete more directly with TSMC in the advanced semiconductor market. The move could potentially impact the market share held by both Qualcomm and TSMC.
Samsung has not officially confirmed the final launch window or specific performance metrics for the Exynos 2700. Industry observers note that achieving the required yield targets remains a critical hurdle for broader adoption beyond Samsung's own devices.
