This new technology, dubbed SF2P, is expected to be used in an unnamed Exynos SoC codenamed ‘Ulysses,’ which is slated for the Galaxy S27 and will hopefully not arrive 10 years late having battled a cyclops and shacking up with an Italian witch.

The development of this second-generation 2nm process is set to begin towards the end of 2024. Previous reports indicated that Samsung had started work on its 2nm technology, codenamed ‘Thetis,’ suggesting that 'Ulysses' might be a variant of this advanced manufacturing process.

 The SF2P technology aims to enhance performance by 12 per cent, reduce power consumption by 25 per cent, and decrease area size by eight per cent compared to its predecessor.

The world on the street is that Samsung’s yield issues remain a critical obstacle and the outfit still has not over come them. So far its effects have been focused on streamlining its operations and letting surplus executives go.

Officially it is still addressing its yield problems with the 3nm GAA process to regain its footing in the foundry business. Qualcomm’s rumoured plans to have Samsung produce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset next year hinge on the resolution of these issues.
