Samsung recently announced that its Exynos 2600 would be the company’s first 2nm GAA chipset. While it didn’t provide specific performance comparisons, Samsung claimed significant improvements in its Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The Exynos 2600 has now emerged in a new benchmark leak, showing impressive results compared to other flagship chipsets.
The latest benchmark reveals that the Exynos 2600 features a 10-core CPU cluster with one of its cores operating at 3.80 GHz. In Geekbench 6, the SoC achieved single-core and multi-core scores of 3,309 and 11,256, respectively. This marks the first time in a long while that Samsung has delivered a chipset capable of matching other high-end counterparts.
In comparison to the Dimensity 9500, which only secured lower scores, the Exynos 2600 outperforms it. When compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (previously known as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2), the latest benchmark shows a score of 3,393 and 11,515 points for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
However, it’s worth noting that Samsung’s upcoming flagship device was running its performance cores at 4.00 GHz instead of the default 4.74 GHz, leaving some potential for improvement. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is only 2.5 percent faster than the Exynos 2600 in these benchmarks.
These results indicate that with further optimization, the Exynos 2600 could perform even better. In a comparison chart, the Exynos 2600 and an underpowered Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 are nearly ‘toe to toe’ against one another.
The power consumption of the Exynos 2600 will also be crucial when it powers Samsung’s Galaxy S26 models. Compared to previous benchmarks reported, there is a significant improvement in single-core and multi-core scores, with a 53.5 percent increase.
