Samsung began prototype development of the Exynos 2600 processor during June using advanced 2nm GAA manufacturing technology. Early benchmark results have emerged from testing, revealing a ten-core configuration that mirrors MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 design approach. The processor operates with a one-plus-three-plus-six core arrangement, reaching maximum speeds of 3.55GHz during initial evaluations. A Samsung device carrying model number S5E9965 appeared in Geekbench 6 database with 12GB memory specifications.
Current performance scores remain below expectations, though Samsung continues optimization efforts before commercial release. The company targets third-quarter completion for the processor design phase, positioning the chip for Galaxy S26 integration next year. Advanced 2nm GAA technology enables Samsung to eliminate traditional efficiency cores while maintaining power consumption standards. The foundry anticipates strong demand for this manufacturing process across four years, providing extended development opportunities for yield improvements.
