Following a staggering $3 billion loss in its semiconductor division, Samsung is accelerating its path toward chipset autonomy with the development of the Exynos 2600. Set to power the Galaxy S26 and S26+ models, this processor will be the company’s first to utilize the advanced 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) manufacturing process. The move is seen as a survival strategy born out of fiscal necessity, aiming to reduce reliance on external suppliers while proving the viability of Samsung’s internal foundry capabilities. By pivoting to self-designed silicon for its flagship devices, the tech giant hopes to reclaim its market position and offset recent financial setbacks.
