Samsung outlines 2nm process roadmap, SF2P+ production set for late 2027/early 2028

Samsung Semiconductor has revealed its latest 2 nanometer (nm) manufacturing process roadmap, targeting late 2027 or early 2028 for the production of its most advanced mobile chip process, SF2P+.

According to reporting by SamMobile, Samsung's foundry division has outlined at least six 2nm process nodes. The first generation, SF2, is already in production for the Exynos 2600 chip, expected in devices like the Galaxy S26 and Z Flip8. The second generation, SF2P, is anticipated for late 2026 production, promising a 26% improvement in energy efficiency over SF2. This process is expected to be utilized by the Exynos 2700 chip, potentially powering the Galaxy S27 and S27+ smartphones.

The SF2P+ process represents Samsung's next-generation advancement. If the roadmap proceeds as planned, the Exynos 2800 processor could be among the first chips to incorporate this technology. The roadmap also includes SF2X for AI and high-performance computing, with production estimated for 2028, and previously announced SF2A (automotive) and SF2Z (backside power delivery network) nodes, which were not featured in the latest 2026 roadmap.

This progression in semiconductor manufacturing technology is crucial for meeting the increasing performance and efficiency demands of next-generation mobile devices and data center applications. Samsung's continued investment in advanced process nodes underscores its commitment to remaining competitive in the global semiconductor market.
