Samsung started making its Exynos 2600 processor on new 2nm technology after facing early problems. The company wants to improve how many working chips it can make from each batch. Engineers targeted 50 percent success rates last month compared to just 30 percent earlier. Mass production needs at least 70 percent working chips to make money. Samsung plans to finish testing and start real manufacturing 2-3 months before the Galaxy S26 phones launch next February.
The Korean company competes with TSMC to attract major customers for advanced chip making. Samsung executives emphasized better 2nm production during earnings calls and promised full scale manufacturing during late 2025. Reports suggest Qualcomm might order Snapdragon processors from Samsung using the new technology. TSMC began taking 2nm orders during April which gives Samsung a chance to win business first. The race between chip makers determines which companies build the fastest processors for future smartphones and computers.
