Samsung Galaxy S series usually adopts a dual platform strategy. For example, the galaxy S22 series national bank and the US version use Qualcomm snapdragon 8 chips, while the European version uses exynos 2200 chips. However, the latest report points out that exynos chips may not be included in the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. On May 31, garyeonhan, the informant, hinted on the social platform that Samsung would no longer develop exynos flagship chips this year, which means that all Galaxy S23 series to be released in 2023 will use Qualcomm chips**
It is reported that the galaxy S22 series released by Samsung this year provides exynos 2200 version and Xiaolong 8 version, of which exynos 2200 version has problems such as heating and jamming, which has affected the reputation of exynos chip.
For this reason, Samsung has decided to start research and development of dedicated chips for Galaxy smartphones, which will be launched as soon as 2025. this means that Qualcomm snapdragon chips will be used in galaxy S23 Series in 2023 and Galaxy S24 Series in 2024**
As usual, Qualcomm will launch the second generation Xiaolong 8 chip (Xiaolong 8 Gen2) at the end of this year. This chip will be OEM by TSMC. It is expected that it will still be designed in the "1+3+4" three cluster architecture, which will be the standard configuration of Android flagship in 2023. Galaxy S23 series will also use this processor.

As for exynos, this well-known chip also had highlight moments. In 2015, both the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 used the Samsung exynos 7420 processor, because Samsung took the lead in using the 14nm FinFET process.
With this advanced process, the Samsung exynos 7420 has more stable frequency and power consumption performance. Compared with 20nm, the performance of 14nm FinFET indicates 20% and the power consumption is reduced by 35%.
At that time, Qualcomm snapdragon 810 used TSMC 20nm process, and the processor was exposed to heat problems. In contrast, the Samsung exynos 7420 has a higher energy efficiency ratio and is known as "the light of Android".
Now Samsung plans to build exclusive exynos chips for Galaxy smartphones. We will see if it can revive the glory of exynos.
