Samsung is developing the Exynos 2500 chipset, which it could offer with the Galaxy S25 series smartphones in some regions.
Last year, the company confirmed that it would make the upcoming chipset on Samsung Foundry’s second-generation 3nm fabrication process, which is expected to offer better power efficiency than not only Samsung’s 4nm fabrication process that it used for the Exynos 2400 SoC but also TSMC’s 3nm fabrication, which Qualcomm plans to use for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Today, we have some more information on the matter.
According to a post from @PandaFlashPro on X/Twitter, with Samsung Foundry’s second-generation 3nm fabrication process, the Exynos 2500 will be more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The tipster also claims that the Exynos 2500 will offer higher performance than the Exynos 2400 while consuming less power.
The Exynos 2400 is already an excellent chipset. With the Exynos 2500 offering better performance and lower power consumption, this could be the Exynos chipset we’ve all been waiting for. The SoC being superior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will make things even better for Samsung and its fans, as it will give the Galaxy S25 series smartphones an edge over their competitors, most of which will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
Exynos 2500 leaked and rumored specs
Earlier this month, a report claimed that Samsung is developing two variants of the upcoming chipset, the Exynos 2500-A and the Exynos 2500-B. According to it, the former will have an 8-core CPU and will be limited to Galaxy phones and the latter will have a 10-core CPU and is targeted at Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Book devices.
Reportedly, Samsung will use Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) from Google's Tensor SoCs for the Exynos 2500 instead of the Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that it used for the Exynos 2400. As for graphics, it will have the Xclipse 950 GPU, which should be more powerful than the Xclipse 940 in the Exynos 2400. Hopefully, we’ll get to know more about the chipset as the Galaxy S25 launch nears, which should arrive in January 2025.
