Samsung denies plans to rename Exynos chips: all rumors about rebranding are not true

CTOnews.com news on November 29 that whistleblower @ OreXDA had accurately predicted the existence of Exynos 2400, and the news was questioned at the time. And now he has revealed that Samsung plans to give up the Exynos brand, and the future Samsung chip will be called "Dream Chip".

For this revelation, Samsung responded to foreign media Android Authority that the company has no plans to rename the Exynos chip series.

In addition, Samsung Semiconductor says all rumors about rebranding are not true.

CTOnews.com noted that this is not the first time that the word "Dream Chip" has appeared in Samsung-related revelations. In April this year, it was reported that "Dream Chip" is the successor to Exynos 2400 launched in 2025, that is, Exynos 2500, a 10-core chip that will be manufactured using Samsung's 3 GAP process and a custom GPU graphics core based on AMD technology, with a special focus on optimization.

According to South Korean media EDaily, Samsung has completed the verification of the fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) process and has begun to deliver products to customers, and the first chip using this packaging process will be the Exynos 2400 chip to be installed in Galaxy S24 / S24 + phones next year.

Based on previous information, the Exynos 2400 processor uses a 1-2-3-4 design:

1 Cortex-X4 core with 3.1GHz clock rate

2 Cortex-A720 cores with 2.9GHz clock rate

3 Cortex-A720 cores with 2.6GHz clock rate

4 Cortex-A520 cores with 1.8GHz clock rate

Exynos 2400 will use a RDNA2 GPU named Xclipse X940 (tentative), which contains 6 WGP (12 CU), 8 MB L3 cache, and supports hardware-level RayTracing.
