Galaxy S27 Ultra: Samsung Considers Switch to Exynos
- Testing of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra revealed that the Snapdragon Elite Extreme Gen chip exceeds temperature thresholds, causing throttling during heavy sustained loads.
- Industry insiders report the Elite Extreme Gen chip runs too hot for Samsung, similar to prior thermal challenges; Chinese makers manage heat using larger vapor chambers than Samsung typically employs.
- Internal benchmarks show the Exynos outscoring the Snapdragon chip by around 10% in Geekbench tests; however, no fix has materialized despite Samsung and Qualcomm's mid-October deadline.
- Switching to an Exynos-powered Ultra would save Samsung money on expensive chips while providing critical revenue and prestige to LSI, absent from the Ultra market since 2022.
- Mass production for the Galaxy S27 series begins at year-end, creating urgent pressure to resolve the thermal issue before units ship for the traditional February/March launch window.
