Samsung struggled to make enough Exynos 2500 chips for Galaxy S25 phones. The company used Snapdragon chips instead because factory problems hurt production. Workers started making the Samsung chips again in February. Test scores show the new processor runs slower than competitors. The chip only beats Google's Tensor G4 processor.
Benchmark tests reveal disappointing results for Samsung's latest effort. The Exynos 2500 scored 2,012 points for single tasks and 7,563 points for multiple tasks. Rival chips from Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Xiaomi all perform better. The Samsung chip uses 10 cores, with the fastest one running at 3.30GHz speeds. AMD helped Samsung build the graphics part called Xclipse 950.
Samsung plans to put the Exynos 2500 inside Galaxy Z Flip 7 phones. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will use the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite chip instead. This choice helps Samsung spend less money on cheaper phones. Factory yields have improved compared to older 3nm chips, but performance still lags behind. Samsung hopes future versions will compete better with other companies.
