过去，Exynos处理器曾因发热和性能降频问题而遭到诟病。为了解决这一问题，三星在Exynos 2600中 首次引入了一种名为"HPB"（Heat Path Block，散热路径块）的散热方案。三星方面宣称，该技术利用 高介电常数（High-k）EMC材料来改善散热，将热阻降低16%，确保芯片在重负载情况下也能稳定保持 内部温度。 据韩国经济新闻、朝鲜日报等韩媒消息，12月19日，韩国三星电子正式公布了其下一代移动系统芯片 Exynos 2600，系全球首款采用2纳米制程工艺的SoC，基于三星的GAA（全环绕栅极）工艺制造，或将 搭载于三星下一代旗舰智能手机Galaxy S26系列。 同时，Exynos 2600支持最高3.2亿像素的超高分辨率摄像头，并通过新引入的AI视觉感知系统（VPS） 和APV编解码器等技术，能够拍摄出更智能、更清晰的照片。 值得注意的是，三星电子在官网上将Exynos 2600的产品状态标注为"量产中"，韩媒普遍认为，这一动 向或表明其良品率已提升至足以支持大规模生产的水平。 近年来，三星的半导体代工部门深陷泥潭，市场份额远落后于竞争对手台积电，其核心原因就在于良品 率低下。 早在2 ...
