Samsung’s Exynos 2600 achieves a multi-core score exceeding 11,000:

Samsung’s Exynos 2600 will officially begin commercial use this month and will be first used in its own Galaxy S26 series.

This chip is built on Samsung’s most advanced 2nm GAA process, which not only marks Samsung’s comeback in the semiconductor manufacturing field, but also makes it the world’s first 2nm mobile phone chip to be officially put into commercial use.

The detailed specifications of the Exynos 2600 have already been revealed, with its internal codename being S5e9965. In terms of architecture, it retains the distinctive 10-core design, including one 3.80GHz C1-Ultra super core, three 3.26GHz C1-Pro large cores, and six 2.76GHz C1-Pro performance cores.

The latest benchmark data shows that the Exynos 2600 achieved a single-core score of 3197 and a multi-core score of 11012. This multi-core performance is on par with Qualcomm’s fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Ultra, successfully placing it among the most powerful processors in the Android camp.

Beyond the leap in computing power, the Exynos 2600 also introduces a brand-new NPU unit. Thanks to deep architectural optimization, its AI performance is 113% higher than its predecessor, enabling smoother handling of various complex edge-side large-scale model tasks. In terms of graphics processing, it is equipped with an Xclipse 960 GPU based on the AMD RDNA 4 architecture, offering a 50% improvement in ray tracing performance and more than doubling its overall computing performance.

The imaging system is also a major highlight of this upgrade. The Exynos 2600’s ISP features a new AI-based visual perception system, enabling it to more accurately identify shooting scenes and objects, much like the human eye. It supports sensors up to 320 megapixels and introduces deep learning-based video noise reduction technology, which is a milestone in improving video quality in low-light environments.
