Samsung’s Exynos 2600 SoC spotted on Geekbench | Infinium-tech

Samsung announced the Exynos 2500 SOC last month, which is used at the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 that went on sale yesterday. The Korean brand has not yet mentioned anything about Exynos 2600 SoC, but thanks to Geekbench, we know what is expected from Samsung’s next major chip.

A Samsung engineering device with model designation S5E9965 has been seen on Geekbench with Exynos 2600 chip. This is similar to Exynos 2500, but a Deca-Core CPU with a separate arrangement. We are viewing 1+3+6 configurations, seen at a single prime core 3.55 GHz, three performance core is running at 2.96 GHz, and six efficiency cores are working on the clock frequency of 2.46 GHz. The graphics department is controlled by Samsung’s XCLIPSE 960 GPU.

The engineering device operated by Exynos 2600 SoC had 12GB RAM onboard with Android 16. It scored 2,155 and 7,788 points in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

In comparison, Exynos 2500-Interested Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 scored 2,099 and 7,433 in our Geekbench test, but Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Eldient-Integrated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 scored 2,910 and 9,152.

Before you jump to any conclusion, you need to remember that: 1) Exynos 2600 SoC is still subject to development and its CPU clock speed is unlikely to be final; 2) The final version of the chip which will be used in retail equipment will probably perform better.

Bloomberg report that Samsung is evaluating the use of both Qualcomm and its own chips for the Galaxy S26 seriesWhich is expected to come next January. We can see Samsung going with Exynos 2600 for the Galaxy S26, while undeclared Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be used for the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Age. The latter is asked to replace the plus model in the lineup.
