Samsung unveils its first 3nm smartphone SoC with Synopsys AI support

Powered by 3nm process technology and Synopsys AI technology, Samsung has made major breakthroughs in mobile chip design and led the industry to new trends. Through process upgrades and AI optimization, the performance, power consumption and other indicators of Samsung's flagship mobile phone chips will be comprehensively improved, bringing users an unprecedented ultimate experience.

The 3nm process is ahead of peers

Semiconductor process technology has always been a key factor in determining chip performance. As the development of Moore's Law slows down, the breakthrough in the process process is becoming more and more difficult. Samsung's latest 3nm chip manufacturing process has excited the industry. This 3nm process with a ring-gate transistor structure can improve performance by 35% while reducing power consumption by 30% compared to the current mainstream 5nm process. Smaller process technology means that more transistors can be integrated in the same area, increasing the computing power of the chip. With this leading process, Samsung is expected to maintain its leading position in the field of mobile chips for some time to come.

AI-powered chip design process

In addition to the breakthrough in manufacturing technology, Samsung's in-depth cooperation with EDA (electronic design automation software giant Synopsys) has also contributed to the birth of this 3nm chip. Synopsys provides AI-based EDA tool support to help Samsung optimize the entire process of chip design, verification, and testing, greatly improving R&D efficiency. The traditional chip design process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the intervention of AI technology can automate a large number of complex tasks and shorten the time-to-market. This is not only conducive to grasping market opportunities in a timely manner, but also reducing R&D costs and improving product competitiveness.

Performance improved across the board

With the help of 3nm process and AI-optimized design, Samsung's new generation of flagship mobile chips will receive an all-round improvement in performance. Both the CPU and GPU will have a much more powerful computing power, capable of supporting higher resolution and higher refresh rate display output. The performance of wireless connection modules such as 5G baseband, WiFi, and Bluetooth will also be improved, bringing users a faster and more stable network experience. In addition to conventional multimedia entertainment applications, this excellent computing performance will also promote the implementation of emerging technologies such as AR/VR and artificial intelligence on mobile terminals, opening up broader application prospects.

Power consumption is optimized

Despite the significant increase in performance, the power consumption of Samsung's new chip is well controlled. On the one hand, the 3nm process itself is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than the 5nm process; On the other hand, AI-optimized chip design also helps to reduce power consumption. Lower power consumption not only means that the flight time of the phone will be extended, but it will also help to maximize the performance of the chip and avoid being limited due to heat. For mobile devices such as smartphones, which are carried every day, excellent flight capability is a top priority for the user experience.

The application prospect is broad

Samsung's next-generation flagship mobile chip, based on 3nm process and AI technology, will first be applied to the upcoming Galaxy S25 series of mobile phones. As Samsung's flagship model of the year, the Galaxy S series has always represented the cutting-edge mobile experience in the Android camp. With the blessing of the new chip, the S25 will surely show unparalleled excellence in photography, games, multimedia entertainment and other aspects.

In addition to the mobile phone field, this chip will also bring strong impetus to other smart mobile terminals, promoting the development of emerging applications such as AR/VR and artificial intelligence on mobile terminals. Perhaps we can see innovative products such as augmented reality glasses and intelligent robots based on this chip, bringing a new experience to human life and work.
