Full Story
It’s a tough world for tipsters in the age of social media. Digital Chat Station, a tipster, made a name for himself by accurately predicting Qualcomm’s flagship application processor (AP) name change in 2021. He said it would switch from the anticipated Snapdragon 898 to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It sounded odd at first, but he was spot on.
Now, another tipster has come forward with an even wilder claim. This one’s about Samsung and its Exynos line of chips. In a tweet by @OreXda (as reported by SamMobile), Samsung is allegedly planning to rebrand its Exynos chips. The new name? “Dream Chip.”
The Exynos name hasn’t exactly been popular. It’s been plagued by complaints about overheating, battery drain, video stuttering, and more. So, a new name could be a fresh start for Samsung in the industry.
The latest rumor from the mill is about Samsung’s future plans. They’re said to be outfitting the upcoming Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ flagship phones with the Exynos 2400 AP in most markets. However, in the U.S. and China, these phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.
According to the current speculation, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy will be running the Galaxy S24 Ultra in all markets. The tipster also claims that Samsung will rebrand all of its Exynos chips with the “Dream Chip” name, not just the flagship ones.
This rebranding is supposed to happen in 2024. The rumored new name does seem to convey a lot of self-confidence, something Samsung hasn’t quite earned in the chip industry. Maybe that’s why this rumor seems so unbelievable.
