Samsung’s Exynos 2500: Samsung is finally ready to show off its next-generation Exynos chip, and it looks like a serious upgrade. The new Exynos 2500 was officially revealed on June 23, and it brings some big improvements under the hood. Built using Samsung’s advanced 3nm GAA process, this chip promises more power and better efficiency for upcoming smartphones.
Samsung Unveils the Powerful Exynos 2500
One of the biggest highlights is its AI performance. The chip’s NPU (neural processing unit) can handle up to a whopping 59 trillion operations per second. That’s a 39% jump compared to last year’s Exynos 2400. On top of that, the CPU setup has changed, too. The Exynos 2500 packs 10 cores in total (in a 1+7+2 arrangement), and Samsung says the main performance core, the latest Arm Cortex-X925, gives a 15% speed boost for heavy tasks.
Smarter AI and Faster CPU Under the Hood
In short: smarter AI, faster performance, and more muscle for the next wave of Samsung-powered devices.
Samsung claims that the Exynos 2500 can smoothly handle heavy apps running at the same time without putting too much strain on the phone. This is great news for anyone who wants a reliable flagship device, especially for mobile gaming, where graphics performance really matters.
For visuals, Samsung has packed in the fourth-generation Xclipse 950 GPU in the new Exynos chip. Once again, it has teamed up with AMD to use its RDNA 3 architecture, which helps deliver faster rendering and hardware-based ray tracing in games – a feature usually found on high-end PCs and consoles. Samsung also says that with ray tracing turned on, gaming performance sees a 28% jump in frames per second (FPS), making graphics smoother even during demanding gameplay.
Aside from the major upgrades, Samsung also shared some smaller but important details about the Exynos 2500. Like its predecessor, the Exynos 2400, this new chip supports 4K displays with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. When it comes to video recording, the chip can handle 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, and it also supports 8K at 60fps for even smoother, high-quality footage.
When it comes to photos, Samsung says the Exynos 2500 can handle a main camera up to 320MP. It also supports 1080p video at 30fps from a single camera and dual-camera setups with 64MP and 32MP sensors.
The chip is built to work with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage for faster performance.
Exynos 2500 Might Power the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in Select Markets
Interestingly, the Exynos 2500 launch comes after reports of development delays earlier this year, which even sparked rumors of possible device release setbacks.
There’s also talk that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 could use this chip in markets like India and South Korea, while regions like the U.S., Canada, and China may stick with Qualcomm chips, suggesting Samsung’s usual dual-chip approach will continue.
