三星，推迟1.4nm

Core Viewpoint - Samsung Electronics is set to complete the design of its next-generation mobile application processor (AP) "Exynos 2800" by the end of this year, utilizing a 2nm process technology to ensure stability in development and yield [1][2]. Group 1: Exynos 2800 Development - The Exynos 2800, codenamed "Vanguard," is being developed with a target for tape-out by the end of this year, which marks the completion of the chip design and the handover for manufacturing [1]. - The design of Exynos 2800 will follow the naming convention based on existing mountain names, continuing from previous models like Exynos 2500 to 2700 [1]. Group 2: Process Technology - Exynos 2800 will utilize Samsung's most advanced 2nm process technology, specifically an improved version of the second-generation 2nm process (SF2P+) [2]. - The SF2P process offers a 12% performance increase, a 25% reduction in power consumption, and an 8% decrease in area compared to the first-generation 2nm process (SF2) [2]. - The decision to focus on the SF2P+ process instead of aggressively pursuing the 1.4nm process (SF1.4), which has been delayed by about two years, reflects a strategic shift towards optimizing yield stability [2]. Group 3: Industry Insights - Industry insiders indicate that it is no longer realistic for Samsung to continue annual advancements in process technology for mobile APs, leading to a focus on Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) as a viable alternative [3].
