The Samsung Exynos (stylized as SΛMSUNG Exynos), formerly Hummingbird (), is a series of -based system-on-chips developed by Samsung Electronics' System LSI division and manufactured by . It is a continuation of Samsung's earlier S3C, S5L and S5P line of SoCs.

The debut of Samsung's indigenously developed SoC is Samsung Hummingbird (S5PC110/111), later renamed as Exynos 3 Single 3110. Samsung announced it on July 27, 2009. In 2011, Samsung announced Exynos 4 Dual 4210 that was later equipped on Samsung Galaxy S II. Since then, Samsung has used Exynos as a representative brand name of their SoC, based on Arm Cortex cores. In 2017, Samsung launched their proprietary Arm ISA-based customized core designs, codenamed "Exynos M". Exynos M series core made a debut with Exynos M1 nicknamed "Mongoose", which was used for Exynos 8 Octa 8890. The Exynos M-series have been implemented throughout the flagship lineup of Samsung Exynos 9 series, until Exynos 990. From 2021 onwards, Exynos M6 and M7 microarchitecture developments have been cancelled and instead Samsung adopts Arm Cortex-X core series as the primary core.

In 2022, Samsung started adoption of AMD RDNA GPU microarchitecture into their SoC, beginning on Exynos 2200 with Xclipse 920, which used customized "mobile RDNA" based on RDNA 2. In 2024, Samsung expanded AMD RDNA 3-based GPU into their midrange chips, since Exynos 1480 (Xclipse 530).


History

2010–2016: Pre-Mongoose Era
In 2010, Samsung launched the Hummingbird S5PC110 (now Exynos 3 Single) in its Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, which featured a licensed Arm Cortex-A8 CPU. This Arm Cortex-A8 was code-named Hummingbird. It was developed in partnership with using their .

In early 2011, Samsung first launched the Exynos 4210 SoC in its Samsung Galaxy S II mobile . The driver code for the Exynos 4210 was made available in the and support was added in version 3.2 in November 2011.

On 29 September 2011, Samsung introduced Exynos 4212 as a successor to the 4210; it features a higher clock frequency and "50 percent higher 3D graphics performance over the previous processor generation". Built with a 32 nm high-κ metal gate (HKMG) low-power process; it promises a "30 percent lower power-level over the previous process generation".

On 30 November 2011, Samsung released information about their upcoming SoC with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU, which was initially named "Exynos 5250" and was later renamed to Exynos 5 Dual. This SoC has a memory interface providing 12.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth, support for USB 3.0 and SATA 3, can decode full 1080p video at 60 along with simultaneously displaying WQXGA-resolution (2560 Ã— 1600) on a mobile display as well as 1080p over HDMI. This SoC was used in some from 2013. Samsung Exynos 5 Dual has been used in a 2015 prototype supercomputer, while the end-product will use a chip meant for servers from another vendor.

On 26 April 2012, Samsung released the Exynos 4 Quad, which powers the Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II. The Exynos 4 Quad SoC uses 20% less power than the SoC in Samsung Galaxy S II. Samsung also changed the name of several SoCs, Exynos 3110 to Exynos 3 Single, Exynos 4210 and 4212 to Exynos 4 Dual 45 nm, and Exynos 4 Dual 32 nm and Exynos 5250 to Exynos 5 Dual.

In 2010 Samsung founded a design center in Austin called Samsung's Austin R&D Center (SARC). Samsung has hired many ex-AMD, ex-Intel, ex-ARM and various other industry veterans. The SARC developed high-performance, low-power, complex CPU and System IP (Coherent Interconnect and memory controller) architectures and designs. In 2012, Samsung began development of GPU IP called "S-GPU".


2016–2020: Mongoose Era
After a three-year design cycle, SARC's first custom CPU core called the M1 was released in the Exynos 8890 in 2016. In 2017 the San Jose Advanced Computing Lab (ACL) was opened to continue custom GPU IP development. In the same year, Samsung announced Exynos M2, a minor revision of Exynos M1.

In Hot Chips 2018, Samsung announced a new custom core named Exynos M3, codenamed Meerkat. M3 has widened decoder width from 4-wide to 6-wide, and introduced L3 cache structure. Also, it achieved over 50% IPC increase versus Exynos M1 and M2.

In 2019, Samsung revealed Exynos 9820 with fourth-generation custom core named Exynos M4 (Cheetah). It has been manufactured on Samsung 8 nm LPP process. Unlike the past flagship Exynos series with 4+4 dual-cluster settings, Exynos 9820 implemented 2+2+4 core cluster configurations. Benchmark result presented that Exynos 9820 had performance parity but worse efficiency over Snapdragon 855.

Exynos 9825 Mobile Processor, Samsung Electronics Exynos 9825 came equipped with Samsung Galaxy Note10 series and Samsung Galaxy F62/M62.

In 2020, Samsung released last Mongoose-based SoC, named Exynos 990. Exynos 990 came with their fifth-generation custom core (Exynos M5) codenamed Lion. However, M5 showed less performance and worse power efficiency against Cortex-A77 of Snapdragon 865.

On 1 October 2019, rumors emerged that Samsung had laid off their custom CPU core teams at SARC. On 1 November 2019, Samsung filed a WARN letter with the Texas Workforce Commission, notifying of upcoming layoffs of their SARC CPU team and termination of their custom CPU core development. SARC and ACL will still continue development of custom SoC, AI, and GPU.


2021–present: Cortex and RDNA Era
On 3 June 2019, AMD and Samsung announced a multi-year strategic partnership in mobile graphics IP based on AMD Radeon GPU IP. NotebookCheck reported that Samsung are targeting 2021 for their first SoC with AMD Radeon GPU IP. However, AnandTech reported 2022. In August 2019, during AMD's Q2 2019 earnings call, AMD stated that Samsung plans to launch SoCs with AMD graphics IP in roughly two years. The first SoC to use Radeon GPU were Exynos 2200, introduced in January 2022, with a custom Xclipse 920 based on AMD's RDNA 2 microarchitecture.

In June 2021, Samsung hired engineers from AMD and Apple to form a new custom architecture team.

In October 2021, Google released their Pixel 6 series of phones based on Google's Tensor SoC, which was made in collaboration with Samsung.

In 2024, Samsung officially announced Exynos 2400, with RDNA 3 microarchitecture-based Xclipse 940. Exynos 2400 Mobile Processor In the same year, along with Exynos 2400, Samsung released Exynos 1480, with RDNA 3 based Xclipse 530, marking the end of Arm Mali GPU era in their mid-range processors.

Controversies

Performance discrepancies
Samsung's flagship smartphones (except the foldable Galaxy Z series) released between 2016 (Galaxy S7) and 2022 (Galaxy S22), as well as the Galaxy S24 and S24+, utilizes both the Exynos and Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs, with the latter being used mainly in models for American and East Asian (except South Korea) markets, and other regions using the former.

While both the Exynos and Snapdragon versions Galaxy S7, S8, and Note 8 has similar performances, the Exynos 9810-based models of Galaxy S9 and Note 9 has worse performance and efficiency than the Snapdragon 845 models. The Exynos 9820 used in Galaxy S10, which utilizes older CPU cores and inferior manufacturing process than the Snapdragon 855, continued this discrepancy.


Stability issues
Some of Samsung's phone models released between 2019 - 2021 that used Exynos 9611 processor were widely reported by customers having random restarts, freezing and bootloops. Specific phone models include the Galaxy A50, A50s, A51, M30s, M21, M31, M31s, F41 and Galaxy M21 (2021). Although the issue went unreported on mainstream media and very few YouTube reviewers covered it based on user reports, the issues were widely documented on Samsung Members official community forum as well as Reddit and other forums. The impact was significant with hundreds of user posts and comments between 2020 and 2023. Samsung did free board replacements for some early customers who had the phone in warranty. However, the majority of people faced the issue after the 12-month warranty period, mostly starting 1.5 – 3 years after purchase. Samsung never officially acknowledged the issue and no software update was released to solve the problem, although the phones received the promised minimum 4 year security updates. The only official solution available to customers was to purchase replacement board that cost around 60-70% of the phone's cost. Most users resorted to risky yet cheaper third party repair that required re-soldering (also called reballing) the CPU & RAM PoP (Package on Package) which managed to solve issue according to dozens of user reports on said forums.
