The Samsung Exynos 2500 is expected to make its official debut later this year in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. It is the South Korean tech giant’s first 3nm chipset. In 2026, the company will follow up with the Exynos 2600, a chipset built on the 2nm process. Now, leaked benchmarks suggest that the Exynos 2600 outperforms Apple’s A18 Pro.

According to a post on X by tipster OreXda, Samsung is making an interesting move with the Exynos 2600. Based on what we know so far, the Exynos 2500 is a chipset that features a 10-core CPU. However, for the Exynos 2600, Samsung could scale back the number of cores to an 8-core configuration.

It is rumored to feature two Cortex-X cores and six Cortex-A cores. Initial benchmark results show that it scored around 2,950 points for single-core and around 10,200 points for multi-core on Geekbench 6.
