In an internal meeting, Samsung executives expressed satisfaction with the Exynos 2600’s performance, highlighting the improvement over its predecessor, the Exynos 2500. Although the report doesn’t specify current yields, a previous article from February reported a yield rate of 30 percent for this technology. Since then, Samsung has had several months to improve this figure.
In July, Yong-In Park, head of Samsung’s LSI business, indicated that they were well-prepared for the Exynos 2600 and expected good results. The chipset has indeed performed impressively in benchmark tests, outperforming a downclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and even surpassing Apple’s A19 Pro in multi-threaded Geekbench 6 tests.
The Exynos 2600 is anticipated to power the upcoming Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Edge models. This indicates that customers upgrading to these flagships will not experience a decline in performance, given the positive results of the chipset. The success of this new technology will also bolster Samsung’s confidence in its 2nm GAA process, restoring customer trust.
An industry insider suggested that Samsung’s true success with advanced lithography would depend on the second-generation 2nm GAA process (SF2P). Encouragingly, reports indicate that Samsung has completed the basic design for this new node. If all goes well, mass production could start by the end of 2026.
