Samsung and Synopsys issued a joint press release in which the two companies announced that Samsung's production lines are already ready for mass production of the first 3nm Exynos chip. The press release didn't specify the Exynos chip, but perhaps we could see the new devices in the Galaxy S25 series.
Synopsys is an electronics design automation company that Samsung has partnered with to optimize the entire manufacturing process, increase productivity and improve chip performance. According to the announcement, the two companies are in the final stage of planning, the so-called sign out In stage. This means that the final design is sent to the factory so that the production lines can be adapted to the mass production process.
The chipset in question will be Samsung's first complex, high-performance design, which is manufactured using a 3nm manufacturing process and is based on the Samsung Gate Allaround, or GAA, process. The truth is that 3nm chips have been produced in Samsung factories since 2022, but they are simple chips used in cryptocurrency mining, compared to System On Chips or SoCs used in mobile devices, which are much more complex devices and require different design and manufacturing processes.
According to plans, mass production of the next-generation chip could begin at Samsung factories within a few months. At the moment, it's not entirely clear whether the first 3nm chipset will be the Exynos 2500 for the Galaxy S25 devices, or another model. For example, the soon-to-be-launched Galaxy Watch 7 smartwatches are said to have new hardware inside them, so the Exynos chip in question could be a custom design for wearables. Regardless, there is a high possibility that the Galaxy S25 phones will get a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip, but the new chip intended for wearable devices will likely appear a little sooner.
