Exynos 2600 resurfaces on Geekbench with impressive performance and higher clock speeds
Samsung is expected to equip at least one of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series phones with its in-house Exynos 2600. The chipset debuted on Geekbench last month with obviously nerfed clock speeds and performance, but has now resurfaced with updated metrics.
The Exynos 2600 is listed on Geekbench as the "S5E9965" and features a deca-core setup with six cores running at 2.76 GHz, three cores at 3.26 GHz, and a prime core at 3.80 GHz. All of those are higher frequencies than the flagship chipset was listed with when it first debuted on the benchmark.
Performance-wise, the Exynos 2600 impresses on this run. The chipset earns a single-core score of 3,309, which is slightly higher than any Snapdragon 8 Elite device has recorded in our tests, and about 10% than the Qualcomm SoC delivers on average overall. Multi-core performance is even better here, as the Exynos 2600 scores a hefty 11,256—20% higher than the average Snapdragon 8 Elite phone manages.
While it's unclear how these numbers would fare when stacked against Qualcomm's next-gen chipset, they represent a superb 45% jump in performance compared to the disappointing Exynos 2500, and that is likely to thrill Exynos fans.
