Samsung sends 2nm Snapdragon sample to Qualcomm

While this looks like progress, it doesn’t mean Qualcomm will immediately hand Samsung the keys to full-scale production. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is Qualcomm’s flagship silicon, and that means brutal rounds of testing are ahead, including power efficiency, thermal behaviour, reliability, and yield. Only after those hurdles are cleared will Samsung move to trial production, a phase it reportedly completed months ago for its in-house Exynos 2600.

Even so, the road is likely to be long and painful. Trial production can drag on for six months to a year, and if Qualcomm spots anything it doesn’t like, Samsung can kiss the contract goodbye.
