Exynos 2500 Unveiled: Samsung's New Flagship Chipset!

In an exciting development that slipped under the radar, Samsung recently introduced the Exynos 2500 as its leading chipset for this year. While it isn't anticipated to dominate the CPU arena, the GPU capabilities are turning heads.

GPU Face-off: Exynos 2500 Surprises!

In a compelling benchmark test, the Exynos 2500, found in the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7, achieved an impressive score of 18,601 on Geekbench's OpenCL test. To put this into perspective, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, powering the Galaxy S25 Ultra, scored slightly lower at 18,365. This signals that Samsung's latest GPU, the RDNA 3-based Xclipse 950, is ready for some serious competition!

Benchmarking: What's the Verdict?

While this single benchmark shouldn't be the sole measure of performance, it certainly suggests that the Exynos 2500 could be a worthy contender in the GPU league. Notably, its predecessor, the Exynos 2400, exceeded the performance of both Apple’s A17 Pro and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in several GPU tests.

CPU Performance: A Different Story!

However, the news isn’t all rosy for the Exynos 2500. Unfortunately, CPU performance has not lived up to the hype. In various Geekbench trials, the Galaxy Z Flip7, with model number "SM-F766B," has consistently underperformed. Its latest scores of 2,313 for single-core and 7,965 for multi-core performance merely mirror last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

What’s Next for Samsung and Exynos?

As the smartphone battle heats up, it will be fascinating to see whether Samsung can enhance the Exynos 2500’s CPU capabilities or if its GPU prowess will be enough to keep it in the competitive race. Stay tuned for the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip7 to find out if the Exynos 2500 can deliver a balanced performance across the board!
