Qualcomm Supercharges Mobile AI Chips, Teams Up with Samsung and Xiaomi for Next-Gen Snapdragon 
Elon Musk Surprised by SpaceX’s Successful First Attempt at Catching Starship Booster 
New reports indicate that Samsung's Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus might feature the in-house Exynos 2500 chipsets, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra is set to run exclusively on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to Power Galaxy S25 Ultra
According to X user Sawyer Galox's summary of Samsung's Galaxy S25 plans, the company will only release the "Ultra" model with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
The Korean behemoth continued this practice with the Galaxy S24 launch as well; whilst the Ultra model was the only one to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the S24 and Plus models had either the Exynos 2400 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 included, based on the buyer's location.
Exynos 2500 Faces Production Challenges
Commenters on the forum have disputed Sawyer Galox's assertions, arguing that the low yields of Samsung's 3nm GAA process do not bode well for the Exynos 2500's mass production.
The fact that Samsung's 3nm GAA technology reportedly had yields three times lower than the minimum threshold needed to begin mass production was cited by WCCFTECH as the reason the company was unable to attract new customers.
Qualcomm’s Influence Over Samsung’s Lineup
The rumor mill also claimed that the base Galaxy S25 will get the Dimensity 9400, but Qualcomm may have coerced Samsung into releasing the new lineup with only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processors.
The San Diego chipset company is expected to earn roughly $1.62 billion in Q4 2024 from sales of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. This is a 50% increase in shipments compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in this quarter.
Samsung Remains Silent on Exynos 2500 Announcement
Qualcomm does not want competitors like MediaTek to get in the way of its relationship with Samsung, which is its biggest customer. With October coming to a close and no formal statement on the Exynos 2500 chipset yet made, it is surprising that Sawyer Galox is still insistent that Samsung would employ it in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus.
Keep in mind that last year's Exynos 2400 was revealed on October 5th; clearly, Samsung is facing issues that it can't control. We will keep our readers informed in the coming weeks of any modifications to the company's intentions.
