Samsung recently revealed their brand new Exynos 2500 processor, marking their first smartphone chip built with advanced 3nm GAA technology. Early testing on Geekbench 6 showed the processor performed worse than expected against top competitors. Fresh benchmark results demonstrate the chip has gained some speed since those initial tests. The updated numbers reveal better performance compared to earlier versions. However, the processor still trails behind leading chips from other companies.
The latest Geekbench testing shows the Exynos 2500 scored 2,356 points for single tasks and 8,076 points for multiple tasks. Previous testing had produced lower scores of 2,012 and 7,563 respectively. These improvements represent a 17 percent boost for single operations and 6.7 percent for multi-tasking work. The gains are modest but meaningful for Samsung's newest flagship processor. Unfortunately, these scores still fall short of rival chips like the Dimensity 9400, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and Apple's A18 series.
Manufacturing problems appear to be holding back the Exynos 2500's true capabilities. Samsung reportedly faces yield rates between 20 and 40 percent for their 3nm production process. These low success rates likely prevent the company from maximizing the chip's potential performance. The processor does outperform Samsung's previous Exynos 2400 model significantly. Testing of the built-in Xclipse 950 graphics processor remains incomplete, leaving questions about gaming and visual performance unanswered.
