New information about Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S25 series continues to emerge. In particular, the testing of the Galaxy S25+ model with the Exynos 2500 processor in Europe shows that the company has not completely abandoned its own chipsets. According to the information in the Geekbench database, the device listed with the model number SM-S936B uses Samsung’s yet-to-be-announced Exynos 2500 chip. This development offers important clues about the performance and future use of Exynos 2500.
Technical specifications of Exynos 2500
According to Geekbench tests, Exynos 2500, 10 core It has a CPU structure. This processor is configured in four different clusters. The strongest core 3.3GHz When running at speed, two of the five high-performance cores 2.75GHzwhile the rest 2.36GHz It works at speed. Two power-saving cores 1.8GHz works at speed. This processor tested in multi-core tests 8,141 score, it performs competitively, but in single-core tests 2,359 It lags behind its rivals in terms of points. Snapdragon 8 Elite for single core in the same tests 3,127for multi-core 9,509 It offers a superior performance by getting points.
By the way, the graphics performance of Exynos 2500 is also remarkable. Samsung has integrated the Xclipse 950 graphics processor, based on AMD’s RDNA architecture, into this chip. This GPU, which is expected to offer smoother graphics experiences thanks to Vulkan 1.3 API support, promises significant improvements, especially in game performance. However, tests show that this chip is still in development and performance may improve further in the final version.
Exynos 2500 and rivals
Although the Exynos 2500 lags behind competitors such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 in terms of performance, it is possible that the device will yield better results at launch, as these results are based on early software versions. It is known that Snapdragon 8 Elite offers higher performance, especially in areas that require intense processing power, such as gaming and high-resolution video recording. Despite this, it may be possible for the Exynos 2500 to be preferred in certain markets, especially with its energy efficiency and graphics processing capabilities.
As a result, it seems that Samsung has not given up on its own processor production and the Exynos 2500 will be used in certain regions, especially Europe. Türkiye may also be among these countries. After all, the Galaxy S24+ model also came with Exynos 2400. In addition, it is thought that Snapdragon 8 Elite will dominate the global market and Samsung will appeal to a wider user base with this processor. The Galaxy S25 series is expected to be introduced in early 2025.
