Samsung’s Exynos 2500 Heavily Disappoints In New Single-Core & Multi-Core Leak, With Its 10-Core CPU Cluster Unable To Beat Top-End Chipsets From Qualcomm, MediaTek And Apple
The Galaxy S25 launching exclusively with the Snapdragon 8 Elite hinted that Samsung was once again experiencing untold troubles with its Exynos 2500, which was supposed to debut with the company’s flagship smartphone series. Sadly, due to poor yields, the company was forced to delay the launch, but luckily, mass production was previously reported to kick off in February earlier this year. The disappointing aspect of the Korean giant’s SoC is that it continues to lag behind in the single-core and multi-core scores, as you will soon find out.
Even Xiaomi’s XRING 01 is significantly faster than the Exynos 2500, with the latter’s only victory coming from beating Google’s Tensor G4
The Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core scores of the Exynos 2500 were posted by Abhishek Yadav, along with the silicon’s partial specifications. The 10-core CPU cluster is in the ‘1 + 2 + 5 +2’ configuration, with the fastest core operating at 3.30GHz. A higher core count will typically mean that a chipset will obtain an increased multi-threaded result, but that is not the case with the Exynos 2500, as it only obtains 7,563 points in this category, with the single-threaded figure even more disappointing, with 2,012 points.
With the Exynos 2500 not even crossing the 8,000 points threshold, the chipset is slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Apple’s A19 and A19 Pro, the Dimensity 9400, and the newly launched Xiaomi XRING 01. More details reveal that Samsung’s flagship SoC is equipped with 12GB RAM and an Xclipse 950 GPU that was made in collaboration with AMD. We have previously reported that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be the first to feature the Exynos 2500, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 getting treated to the more premium Snapdragon 8 Elite.

From a cost perspective, Samsung is making the right move in reducing its expenditures for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, these results do not exactly spark up confidence for Samsung’s Exynos 2600, and even though the latter’s yields are significantly better than the company’s 3nm GAA process, the performance aspect is yet to be determined. It is possible that after a couple of releases, Samsung can get its chip division on track, but at this time, the Exynos 2500 looks to be a lackluster effort.
