Samsung signed massive deals with Apple and Tesla in the recent past, and AMD is likely to be the next significant 2nm foundry client victory.

A new report says that Samsung is in talks with AMD for contract manufacturing using its cutting-edge 2nm process. Exynos 2600 turns out to be a big success for Samsung Foundry in attracting major tech companies.

Exynos 2600, crafted for the Galaxy S26 series, is the first product fabricated using Samsung Foundry’s 2nm GAA process. The company would utilize the cutting-edge node for Tesla’s AI chips, and AMD is expected to join the list soon.

Samsung plans to offer the second-generation 2nm process (SF2P) for AMD chips. Industry insiders say it’s a more mature process than Exynos 2600. Meanwhile, future Exynos chips will be even more powerful and efficient.

DS Division could soon manufacture a trial production of AMD chips via a Multi-Project Wafer (MPW). The chip designer would assess whether the outcome meets the performance and efficiency required in products.

If the process secures greenlight, Samsung and AMD would finalize the contract next month. It’s going to be a significant win for Samsung Foundry as securing AMD as a contract production client will attract a billion-dollar income.

After Tesla and Apple, Samsung Foundry’s comeback was ensured. With AMD potentially joining the list, it would further solidify the company’s return in the market. Nvidia has also sealed deals with Samsung for HBM chips.

Samsung has recently confirmed Exynos 2600, and a back-end development reveals the chip has become more powerful.

A new Geekbench listing of Exynos 2600 suggests that Samsung has boosted the chip’s CPU to make it even more powerful than ever. This input follows recent news that claimed Exynos models would be limited to South Korea.

Exynos 2600 is a deca-core chipset, featuring a total of 10 cores. It includes three clusters, with the first bringing six efficiency cores, the second having three performance cores, and the third featuring one prime core.

The company has carried out a major revision in the chip’s CPU frequencies. The prime core has improved from 3.55GHz to 3.80GHz, performance cores upgraded from 2.96GHz to 3.26GHz, and efficiency cores from 2.46GHz to 2.75GHz.

The chip’s latest benchmark reveals upgraded CPU cores, including:

• One C1 Ultra (3MB L2) @ 3.80GHz
• Three C1 Pro @ 3.26GHz
• Six C1 Pro @ 2.75GHz

Based on the new benchmark, scores should be 3455 in the single-core test and 11621 in the multi-core test. While the Exynos 2600’s CPU cores improved significantly, the company hasn’t tweaked the Xclipse 960 GPU.

The Exynos story

Exynos 2500 was Samsung’s first mobile chip made using 3nm process. The chip’s performance gaps with its Snapdragon counterpart and Samsung Foundry’s struggling yields have canceled its adoption in the Galaxy S25 series.

Samsung didn’t dump Exynos plans, but crafted an even more powerful chip. The latest Exynos 2600 is fabricated using the most advanced 2nm process. It’s a generation ahead of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Apple’s A19 Pro.

Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus will be equipped with Exynos 2600, while the S26 Ultra will only use Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. A recent report claims Exynos-powered flagships would only be sold in South Korea, Samsung’s home ground.
