Samsung's Exynos fallback turns Snapdragon heat into a deadline
Exynos 2700 is the fallback that gives Samsung room to wait. The mid-October heat fix leaves open whether Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 stays in the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

| deadline | mid-October |
Samsung asked Qualcomm to fix the overheating by mid-October. The buyer can still take Snapdragon if the fix arrives.
The Sedaily report does not name a temperature, clock, or power figure. It constrains Qualcomm's schedule, not Samsung's architecture.
Exynos 2700 would use SF2P 2nm if selected. That raises fab utilization, but it does not prove thermal superiority.
The purchase cost behind mobile APs shows the money at stake, not the chip's margin.
The missing measurements are the actual temperature margin, sustained clock drop, and power draw under the Galaxy S27 Ultra workload.
The deadline is the real change, not a thermal verdict.
