Samsung Exynos 2600

The Samsung Exynos 2600 is an SoC for smartphones and tablets and the first chip that uses the new Samsung 2nm GAA process.
Samsung uses a total of 10 cores based on the new ARM Lumex architecture which is also used in the Dimensity 9500 and thus competes with the eight Oryon cores in the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The C1 Ultra Prime core operates at up to 3.8 Ghz, three C1-Pro cores at a maximum of 3.25 Ghz and six C1-Pro cores at up to 2.75 Ghz, plus a Samsung Xclipse 960 GPU and a 32K Mac NPU, which, according to Samsung, increases Gen AI performance by 113% compared to its predecessor.
According to Samsung, the performance is up to 39% better than its predecessor Exynos 2500. Our benchmarks show a performance that is slightly below the Apple A18 (e.g. iPhone 16). The integrated Heat Path Block (HPB), which sits like a heat sink directly on the Exynos 2600 next to the DRAM, prevents heat build-up.
