Samsung Galaxy S27 could bring a major Exynos upgrade
Samsung's Exynos chips have historically faced criticism for overheating and poor performance, but the Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 marked a significant improvement. For the upcoming Galaxy S27, Samsung plans to implement an SBS design with the Exynos 2700 to further enhance thermal management and performance. This design change will place DRAM beside the SoC instead of on top, reducing heat and latency while increasing potential clock speeds.
- ▪The Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 uses a Heat Path Block to reduce thermal resistance by up to 16%.
- ▪Despite improvements, the Exynos 2600 still lags behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in performance and thermal efficiency.
- ▪Samsung plans to use an SBS (side-by-side) design for the Exynos 2700 in the Galaxy S27 to improve heat dissipation.
- ▪The SBS design will position DRAM next to the SoC rather than stacked on top, reducing latency and boosting performance.
- ▪A higher thermal ceiling from the new design could allow Samsung to increase clock speeds for better overall performance.
