Samsung's Exynos 2700 chipset might be cool, very cool

All eyes are on the Galaxy S26 series which is expected to bring the Exynos chipset back into the fold for Samsung's flagship lineup. Initial reports about the Exynos 2600 have been promising, but it remains to be see how the chipset actually performs in the device.

Samsung is reportedly going to lean on Exynos more in the coming years, with a new report claiming that it will make some very targeted improvements to make next year's Exynos 2700 more cool.

It's no secret that Exynos chipsets tend to run hot, which is why thermal throttling can impact performance. Samsung may make some changes to the Exynos 2700 that enable it to run on the cooler side.

The Exynos 2700's internal codename is apparently Ulysses. It's claimed that the chipset will be manufactured on Samsung's SF2P process, which is an iterative upgrade over the 2nm GAA process used for the Exynos 2600.

The process technology improvements may deliver a 25% power consumption reduction over the previous node, while also enabling higher 4.2GHz clock speed for the prime core. The Exynos 2700 is reportedly going to utilize ARM C2 cores.

To keep the chipset cool, Samsung may utilize a unified Heat Path Block for the processor and DRAM. This would enable far more efficient heat dissipation over the Exynos 2600, where the process is directly in contact with the heat sink.

All of this is plausible, but we're still far from drawing a line in the sand for anything related to the Exynos 2700. It's still over a year away and a lot can change between now and then, but if things do end up panning out this way, it will certainly elevate Samsung's Exynos chipsets.
