According to tipster OreXda, it’s possible that Samsung may cancel the Exynos 2400’s mass production as well. Similar to the Exynos 2300 case, the company might produce a prototype product as part of practical internal testing by employees. Besides, One UI optimization unit is pending development in MX.
Ditching Exynos 2300 and 2400, Samsung is aiming to introduce the Exynos 2500 processor, which might be renamed at the time of launch. The tipster also hinted at Exynos 2500 features, including the goal of performance standards, a 10-core CPU, twice redesigned Xclipse GPU, and NPU in collab with Google.
참고로 엑시노스 2500은 가명, 출시 및 탑재시 엑시노스가 아닐 수 있음.

In a processor, NPU (neural processing unit) is a specialized circuit that implements all the necessary control and arithmetic logic necessary to execute machine learning algorithms, typically by operating on predictive models such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) or random forests (RFs).
Google’s Tensor and Tensor G2 chipsets are produced by Samsung Foundry, which offers powerful features derived from AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning. The company may collaborate with Google to bring the best AI tech to its dream processor.
In the recent past, it was reported that Samsung has approved the production of the Exynos 2400 processor. Moreover, it was rumored that the vanilla Galaxy S24 might use Exynos 2400 in some regions, with keeping Snapdragon for the remaining two models.

Samsung launches two eco-friendly battery packs
Samsung has unveiled two new battery packs with powerful performance using recycled materials. The launch, scheduled for the 19th, introduces the PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh and the PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh. Both of these battery incorporate 30% UL-certified recycled plastic in their design, marking a stride in reducing carbon emissions.
The ‘PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh’ offers a high capacity for charging, with a maximum output of 45W and three USB-C ports, allowing for simultaneously charging multiple devices. However, the actual charging speed may vary based on several factors, including the devices connected and charging conditions.
On the other hand, the ‘PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh’ provides the convenience of wireless charging, along with a wired charging capability of up to 25W. It comes with two USB-C ports, making it possible to charge up to three devices at once when combining wired and wireless charging.
Both battery packs comply with the USB PD 3.0 standard, ensuring quick and efficient charging for Samsung Galaxy products and other compatible devices.

A new on-device AI memory is on the way: LPDDR6 standard will be finalized in Q3 2024
The LPDDR6 market is expected to bloom as early as next year, as the new on-device AI memory is on the way with the latest LPDDR6 standard finalization taking place in Q3 2024. If the standard is confirmed in the third quarter, LPDDR will secure a new standard for the first time in five years.
Going toward the details, the International Semiconductor Standard Organization (JEDEC) recently held discussions on the next-generation mobile RAM standard. The meeting proceeded with the finalization process to finalize the LPDDR6 standard.
An official in the semiconductor industry said,
- “We have held various discussions to confirm the LPDDR6 standard specification,” and it will be released in the third quarter of this year.”
To be mentioned, the JEDEC is a private organization that establishes semiconductor standards, that is, sizes and specifications, and more than 60 people from memory, system semiconductor, and design asset (IP) companies participated in this Lisbon meeting.

Furthermore, the LPDDR6 standard will be established with a focus on improving data processing performance as the demand for on-device AI to perform large-scale AI calculations on smartphones, laptops, and tablet PCs is rapidly increasing. In addition, the power consumption standard will also be improved.
However, once the LPDDR6 standard is confirmed, major memory manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are expected to begin commercializing their products in earnest.
