Samsung has tested its new Exynos 2500 processor through benchmark trials, which reveal how the chip performs against its competitors. The processor will likely power Samsung's following flagship smartphones. Geekbench 6 testing shows the Exynos 2500 earned scores between 2303 and 2356 points for single-core performance. Multi-core testing produced results between 8062 and 8076 points. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite currently used in Galaxy S25 Ultra phones achieved higher marks with 2883 single-core points and 9518 multi-core points.
The Exynos 2500 features ten Arm Cortex processor cores, arranged to strike a balance between speed and battery life. One high-speed Cortex-X5 core leads the setup. Two Cortex-A725 cores run at 2.74 GHz. Five more Cortex-A725 cores operate at 2.36 GHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores handle basic tasks at 1.8 GHz.
Samsung built the chip using its 3-nanometer Gate-All-Around manufacturing process. This newer technology creates more efficient processors that use less battery power. The company also added its Xclipse 950 graphics processor to handle gaming and visual tasks. Samsung plans to use the Exynos 2500 in smartphones worldwide, rather than splitting regions between different processors as it has done previously.
