2021 could be a turning point for Samsung’s chip-making arm. The company’s first 5nm chip, the Exynos 1080, which will make its commercial debut later this month with a Vivo handset, already looks impressive on paper and in benchmarks. And now, the chaebol is gearing up to launch its flagship Exynos 2100 chip that will likely fuel the European, Middle Eastern, and possibly South Korean variants of the Galaxy S21 series.
Samsung has teased an announcement for December 15 for the Exynos 2100 in a video in which it has thanked its fans for sticking with the company during this tough year. SamMobile has interpreted this as an apology of sorts for the glaring performance discrepancy between Samsung’s home-grown chips and SoCs made by Qualcomm.
