Samsung Denies Tipster's Claim of Renaming Exynos Chips

Austin Jay

Reported statements by tipster @oreXda on X (formerly Twitter) about a possible re-branding of Samsung's Exynos chips have been refuted by the company's semiconductor division.

The South Korean electronics giant denied any such reports, stating unequivocally that there are no intentions to rename the semiconductors used in its smartphone series.

Notably, the Exynos mobile CPUs power a range of Samsung smartphones, competing with MediaTek and Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips.

Samsung disputed the suggestion in the tweet that the product would be renamed "Dream Chip" or "Dream," claiming that the names were internal project labels and had nothing to do with a re-branding initiative.

Samsung Says 'Don't Believe In the Rumours'

In a tweet by @OreXda about product X, Samsung might re-brand Exynos chips as the Dream Chip.

As Samsung has always had issues like heating problems and battery drain, this may be an opportunity for Samsung to restart the Exynos 2400 chipset, which had ten CPU cores that could not beat the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's scoring in the Geekbench benchmark.

Samsung admittedly responded to a news firm's questions by stopping rumors on an Exynos chip renaming. 

The tech giant emphasized its commitment to the noble Exynos label and indicated that it would be difficult to change the names of these processors shortly. The company further affirmed that it never contemplated changing the terms of the Exynos series of portable CPUs.

Samsung Semiconductor explicitly dismissed that this question occasioned no consideration of re-branding.

The firm and direct denials of the company leave the door slightly open for possible modifications over time but show that it is clear that the Exynos chip family will not be renamed.

Samsung's top-of-the-range Exynos chips are outperformed by its Mediatek and Qualcomm's rivals by a little bit. The consumers have expressed concerns regarding the high-end phones with Exynos CPUs having heating throttle problems and short battery life.

These problems are, however, said not to hinder the firm's intention of availing its in-house chips on her forthcoming flagship phones.

About Samsung's Flagship Chip Exynos

Like Apple and Huawei, Samsung is unique among smartphone manufacturers because it can design its processors. It had several capabilities that enabled Samsung to save money and customize the manufacture of semiconductors to its needs.

Among them is the Samsung Exynos, which powers several devices ranging from entry-level handsets to high-end 5G devices.

The processor brand, Exynos, was launched in 2010 with models such as the Exynos 2200, which boasts six-core CPUs, a 4 nm architecture, 5 G capability, and an NPU for machine learning.

The high-end European Galaxy phones utilized Traditional Exynos processors, while the US and others used Qualcomm Snapdragon.

Unfortunately, the 2022 Samsung Galaxy S23 series comes with only one variant, Exynos, which is available in Europe. This is the first time a Desktop-class Exynos SoC will integrate an AMD GPU for variable rate shading and ray tracing of Exynos 2200 based on the Galaxy S22 mobile device line.

Following up on a good predecessor, the Exynos 2100, used at Samsung's flagship Galaxy S21, the Exynos 2200 is a new chip based on ARM CPU and GPU technology.

Previously, the Mongoose CPUs owned by the company were used for earlier generations of the Exynos series chips, but the company closed down this business in 2019.

In CPU power testing 2022, both Snapdragon and Exynos chips did quite well; however, Snapdragon processors tend to be more effective in GPU power and graphics performance. These include phones such as the Note and the Galaxy S by Samsung.
