Samsung Exynos 2500 Benchmarks Put New SoC Close to Qualcomm Competition but Still Slower

Samsung's Exynos 2500 SoC has appeared on Geekbench, this time giving us a clearer indication of what to expect from the upcoming SoC that will power the next generation of Samsung flagship smartphones. There are three total runs that have appeared on Geekbench, putting forward anywhere between 2303 and 2356 points in the single-core Geekbench 6 benchmark and 8062 and 8076 points in the multicore benchmark. Meanwhile, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in the current-generation Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra manages a single-core score of 2883 and a multicore score or 9518 on the same Geekbench 6 benchmark. Samsung recently made the Exynos 2500 public, with the spec sheet revealing a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU paired with 10 Arm Cortex CPUs (1× Cortex-X5, 2× Cortex-A725 at 2.74 GHz, 5× Cortex-A725 at 2.36 GHz, and 2× Cortex A520 at 1.8 GHz).

The new SoC is reportedly the first chip to use Samsung's 3 nm GAA process, and leaks suggest that Samsung may be using the new SoC across its entire next-gen global smartphone line-up, starting with the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This would be a stark departure from previous releases, where the US versions of the Galaxy S line-up featured Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with the international Galaxy S smartphones packing the in-house Exynos designs. In recent years, however, Samsung has pivoted to using Snapdragon SoCs across all regions.

What these OEM should know is to make a phone with sustainable performance and not throttle during load, I don't know why they would need 4 different CPU arch with 10 cores on mobile phone, it just adds unnecessary complex scheduling.
 
because they have run out of other places to "innovate" in. The only thing they can do is push out marginally more performance and launch a new phone.

I am still doing well with my 3 year old S22 with a snapdragon in it. Most of the performance is wasted because: the battery is too small to play games, the CPU uses too much power at full performance to get a full day out of the battery if you use too much photography and stuff.
 
Exynos death when?
This should've happened back in 2020 with the SD865 and the EX990
Especially since they're based on Samsung fabrication.
 
Main issue why no one wanted Exynos recently is because it wasn't good at anything. It wasn't performing and it wasn't efficient either. If Samsung went all out efficiency at some expense of performance and many would prefer it. I don't think I'd really notice difference between my Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in Galaxy S23 Ultra compared to Snapdragon 8 Elite in Galaxy S25 Ultra, but I'd sure notice huge efficiency difference if my battery lasts hours more. And that's what Exynos should focus on. All chipsets are so stupendously fast now it doesn't even matter, but limited battery does. A lot.
 
Samsung Exynos, won't buy another Samsung with that chipset. Runs hot, used more power so the battery don't last while being slower as well.
 
Question is how expensive are they for Samsung to make , if their 3nm gaa is giving great yields these chips could be put in the cheap lineup of phones.
Making those for once more than charge once and throw away garbage
 
because if they manage to get it going properly they can take marketshare from both Qcomm and TSMC
I think it's more so that they don't have to spend more on getting chips from other sources.
