Samsung's 2nm Exynos 2600 chipset is ready for mass production

Samsung's Exynos 2600 chipset will be the world's first mobile SoC made using a 2nm process, that much the company has already confirmed. We've seen it improving its scores in Geekbench a few days ago, and now a new report from Samsung's home of Korea claims the chip is ready for mass production.

The holdup seems to be Samsung deciding whether or not to use it in some or all members of the upcoming Galaxy S26 family. This decision will reportedly only be made in the fourth quarter of this year, so between October to December.

We've already heard a few times that the Exynos 2600 will signify the return of Exynos into Samsung's flagship slab-style smartphone line. If the company does decide to go this route, it will be a major win for the in-house SoC line, following the disappointing Exynos 2500.

Industry sources say it's highly likely that the Exynos 2600 will be used in at least some Galaxy S26 devices in some places, especially as the addition of a new "heat pass block" is expected to solve the existing heat generation issues in the chip, as this component acts like a heat sink.
