TheSamsung Exynos (stylized asSΛMSUNG Exynos),[1] formerlyHummingbird (Korean: 엑시노스), is a series ofArm-basedsystem-on-chips developed bySamsung Electronics' System LSI division and manufactured bySamsung Foundry. It is a continuation of Samsung's earlierS3C, S5L and S5P line of SoCs.
The first debut of Samsung's indigenously developed SoC is Samsung Hummingbird (S5PC110/111), later renamed as Exynos 3 Single 3110. Samsung announce it on July 27, 2009. In 2011, Samsung announced Exynos 4 Dual 4210 that was later equipped onSamsung 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.[2]
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 onRDNA 2. In 2024, Samsung expanded AMD RDNA 3-based GPU into their midrange chips, since Exynos 1480 (Xclipse 530).
In 2010, Samsung launched the Hummingbird S5PC110 (now Exynos 3 Single) in itsSamsung Galaxy S smartphone, which featured a licensed Arm Cortex-A8CPU.[3] This Arm Cortex-A8 was code-named Hummingbird. It was developed in partnership withIntrinsity using theirFastCore and Fast14 technology.[4]
In early 2011, Samsung first launched the Exynos 4210 SoC in itsSamsung Galaxy S II mobilesmartphone. The driver code for the Exynos 4210 was made available in theLinux kernel[5] and support was added in version 3.2 in November 2011.[6][7]
On 29 September 2011, Samsung introduced Exynos 4212[8] as a successor to the 4210; it features a higher clock frequency and "50 percent higher3D graphics performance over the previous processor generation".[9] Built with a32 nmhigh-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 adual-coreARM 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 forUSB 3.0 andSATA 3, can decode full1080p video at 60fps along with simultaneously displayingWQXGA-resolution (2560 × 1600) on a mobile display as well as 1080p over HDMI.[10] This SoC was used in someChromebooks from 2013. Samsung Exynos 5 Dual has been used in a 2015 prototype supercomputer,[11] 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 theSamsung Galaxy S III andSamsung Galaxy Note II.[12] 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,[13] and Exynos 4 Dual 32 nm[14] and Exynos 5250 to Exynos 5 Dual.
On 2010 Samsung founded a design center inAustin called Samsung's Austin R&D Center (SARC). Samsung has hired many ex-AMD, ex-Intel, ex-ARM and various other industry veterans.[15] The SARC develop high-performance, low-power, complex CPU and System IP (Coherent Interconnect and memory controller) architectures and designs.[16] In 2012, Samsung began development of GPU IP called "S-GPU".[17]
After a three-year design cycle, SARC's first custom CPU core called the M1 was released in the Exynos 8890 in 2016.[18] In 2017 the San Jose Advanced Computing Lab (ACL) was opened to continue custom GPU IP development.[15] 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.[19] SPEC2006 benchmark result showed that it has performance advantage comparing with counterparts of Snapdragon 845 (Cortex-A75) at their respective peak clock speed, and by lowering the clock speed to 1.79 GHz it matched the power efficiency versus Cortex-A75 of Snapdragon 845. However, Samsung Galaxy S9 with Exynos 9810 was criticized in early period of their release due to the poor CPU core scheduler settings.[20]
In 2019, Samsung revealed Exynos 9820 with fourth-generation custom core named Exynos M4 (Cheetah). It has been manufactured on Samsung 8nm 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.[21] Later, Samsung announced Exynos 9825, a revised SoC manufactured on their first 7nm manufacturing process named 7LPE.[22] Exynos 9825 came equipped withSamsung Galaxy Note10 series andSamsung 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 worst power efficiency against Cortex-A77 of Snapdragon 865.[23][24]
On 1 October 2019, rumors emerged that Samsung had laid off their custom CPU core teams at SARC.[25][26][27] On 1 November 2019, Samsung filed aWARN letter with theTexas Workforce Commission, notifying of upcoming layoffs of their SARC CPU team and termination of their custom CPU core development.[28] SARC and ACL will still continue development of custom SoC, AI, and GPU.[29]
On 3 June 2019,AMD and Samsung announced a multi-year strategic partnership in mobile graphics IP based on AMD Radeon GPU IP.[30][17] NotebookCheck reported that Samsung are targeting 2021 for their first SoC with AMD Radeon GPU IP.[31] However, AnandTech reported 2022.[32] 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.[33] The first SoC to use Radeon GPU were Exynos 2200, introduced in January 2022, with a custom Xclipse 920 based on AMD'sRDNA 2 microarchitecture.[34]
In June 2021, Samsung hired engineers from AMD and Apple to form a new custom architecture team.[35]
In October 2021, Google released their Pixel 6 series of phones based on Google'sTensor SoC, which was made in collaboration with Samsung.[36]
In 2024, Samsung officially announced Exynos 2400, with RDNA 3 microarchitecture-based Xclipse 940.[37] 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.[38]
Starting in 2020 Samsung introduced a new series of Exynos SoCs with lower numbers than in the past. This indicates a cut between the past Exynos SoCs at least in naming.

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 boot-loops. 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[190][191] and very few YouTube reviewers covered it based on user reports,[192][193] the issues were widely documented on Samsung Members official community forum[194][195][196][197][198][199] as well as Reddit & other forums.[200][201][202][203][204] The impact was significant with hundreds of user posts & comments between 2020 and 2023. Samsung did free board replacements for some early customers who had the phone in warranty.[205] 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.[206] 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 3rd party repair that required re-soldering (also calledreballing) the CPU & RAM PoP (Package on Package) which managed to solve issue according to dozens of user reports on said forums.[207][208][209][210][211]
In 2015, Bull developed and constructed the last Mont-Blanc prototype, a two-rack machine that housed 2,160 ARM processor cores and 1,080 GPUs. The two racks held 8 BullX chassis, consisting of 72 compute blades, each of which held 15 compute cards. In this case, the ARM chip was a Samsung Exynos 5 Dual, a dual-core Cortex-A15 mobile SoC, paired with a Mali-T604 GPU. This next prototype looks to be much more supercomputer-like, especially consideringCavium'sThunderX2 chip is a bona fide 64-bit ARM server SoC with HPC ambitions. The 54-core processor will run at speeds as high as 3 GHz
