Samsung officially confirmed the first mobile processor Exynos 2600 based on the 2NM production process. The new processor is expected to go on sale at the beginning of 2026 with the Galaxy S26 series.
Samsung explains the second quarter of 2025 financial results Exynos 2600 He also shared the first official information about the processor. New chipset, the company’s 2nm Gate-al-Around (GAA) It is the first mobile processor to use its technology. The production of the processor with advanced features in energy efficiency, artificial intelligence support and thermal control areas is carried out by Samsung Foundry. This architecture is aimed to provide performance and temperature balance more effectively on mobile devices. Exynos 2600 will be used both on phones and in different sectors.
Total in the processor 10 cores and the structure is designed as 1+3+6. The main core operates at a speed of 3.55 GHz, while three performance core is traded at 2.96 GHz and six efficiency core is traded at 2.46 GHz. This arrangement improves performance in intensive workloads while saving energy in low -power transactions. On the graphic side, developed in cooperation with AMD XClipse 960 GPU is located. According to the company, this new GPU offers about 15 %higher graphic performance than the Adreno 830 on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. In addition, advanced visual features such as radiation monitoring are aimed to move to mobile devices.
A new technology is applied at the hardware level for the cool work of the processor. Heat Path Block (HPB) This system, called the chip and memory, contains a micro copper -based heat emitter on the package. This structure helps to maintain performance, especially in games or artificial intelligence applications that work at high temperatures. In addition, Samsung has been developed for artificial intelligence operations in Exynos 2600. Neural Processing Unit (NPU) He’s using it. The efficiency of operations such as voice command detection, image processing and real -time language solutions is increased with this hardware.
Samsung’s 2nm chip production will not only be limited to mobile devices
Exynos 2600 was first planned to be released at the beginning of 2026 Galaxy S26 Pro And Galaxy S26 edge It is expected to be used in models. Galaxy S26 Ultra The model will include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. This preference shows that Samsung continues to test two separate processor platforms together in the upper segment. In addition to all these, the company with Tesla and 16.5 billion dollars worth of agreement will be used in these 2nm chips will be used. In this way, Samsung’s 2nm GAA process is not only mobile, but also in other fields such as automotive is planned to activate.
This new production process of Samsung focuses on meeting more powerful hardware infrastructure requirements, especially with the rise in foldable device sales such as Galaxy Z Fold 7. Clear assessments of the final performance of the Exynos 2600 will be possible after the devices have been released. However, considering the production process, hardware architecture and new GPU features of the processor, it can be said that there is a significant transition phase for the Exynos series. In the light of all these developments, Samsung aims to come to a more competitive position in chipset production during the 2025-2026 period.
