[News] Samsung May Integrate MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 in Galaxy S25 Series, Google Accidentally Reveals


2024-10-09 Consumer Electronics / Semiconductors editor

Rumors suggest that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 models will adopt a dual-chipset strategy by adopting MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400. This approach is intended to lessen the company’s dependence on Qualcomm and to reduce its chipset costs, according to a report from Wccftech.

While neither Samsung nor MediaTek have confirmed this information, it may have been inadvertently revealed by Google in its blog post, Wccftech notes. In a blog article released by Google DeepMind at the end of September, the progress of AlphaChip, which is the AI division of Google, was discussed, emphasizing how it accelerates and optimizes chip design.

Notably, the article suggests the potential collaboration between Samsung and MediaTek, according to Wccftech.

Although the article does not explicitly mention MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 or the Galaxy S25 series, it does mention the Dimensity Flagship 5G. This could imply the Dimensity 9400 and the Galaxy S25 series, since the Galaxy S24 series does not currently feature any high-end MediaTek chipsets.

As per a report from TechNews, the Dimensity 9400 has been officially launched today (October 9th), while the Galaxy S25 series is expected to be unveiled early next year, aligning with the details mentioned in the blog article released by Google DeepMind.

It is worth noting that Samsung is initially expected to integrate some of the new Galaxy S25 models with its own Exynos 2500. However, according to Wccftech, due to the unstable yield rates of the 3 nm GAA process, Samsung not only struggled to attract potential consumers but also faced the possibility of delaying the launch schedule for its new flagship chipset.

Nevertheless, as suggested by Wccftech, the Exynos 2500 might not be abandoned. Rumors indicate that it might be used in its ‘price to performance’ Galaxy S25 FE, along with its future foldable smartphones.
