Just in time for the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Flip7 launch on July 9, Samsung has officially unveiled its latest brainchild—the Exynos 2500. While it didn’t make the cut for the Galaxy S25 series, this cutting-edge chipset packs a punch as it steps into the spotlight.

Manufactured using Samsung’s revolutionary 3nm Gate All Around (GAA) technology, the Exynos 2500 promises unmatched power efficiency. With its sleek Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP), it boasts a thinner profile and superior heat dissipation.

A Closer Look at the CPU Architecture

The Exynos 2500 features a formidable 10-core (deca-core) CPU with a unique 1+7+2 arrangement. This configuration comprises one Cortex-X925 core running at an impressive 3.3GHz, alongside two Cortex-A725 cores clocking in at 2.74GHz and another five A725 cores at 2.36GHz. Lastly, it includes two Cortex-A520 cores for efficiency at 1.8GHz. Samsung claims a staggering 15% performance boost for its powerhouse cores, pushing mobile technology to new heights.

Graphics That Wow: The Xclipse 950 GPU

The GPU landscape takes a thrilling turn with the Xclipse 950, part of the latest AMD-based graphics family. Boasting 8 work group processors and 8 render backends, the Xclipse 950 surpasses its predecessor, the Exynos 2400, by delivering a remarkable 28% higher frames per second in ray-tracing games. Get ready for a graphics experience that’s nothing short of exhilarating.

AI & Camera Innovations

In addition to outrageous processing power, the Exynos 2500 elevates AI capabilities significantly, reaching 59 TOPS—39% more than the previous chip. This allows for seamless execution of advanced features. The camera setup impresses as well, supporting AI-enhanced processing for sensors up to 320MP, complete with multi-layer noise reduction and Dynamic Range Compression.

Next-Gen Connectivity: 5G and Beyond

One of the standout features of the Exynos 2500 is its support for non-terrestrial network (NTN) capabilities, paving the way for satellite messaging. With support for the latest 3GPP Rel. 17, this modem provides lightning-fast connectivity, reaching speeds of up to 12.1Gbps. Plus, users can enjoy enhanced local connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

As Samsung gears up for the mass production of the Exynos 2500, fans can expect its powerful capabilities to shine in the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7, with budget-conscious users looking forward to the older Exynos 2400 variant in the Z Flip7 FE.
