Samsung recently unveiled the Exynos 2400 alongside the latest Galaxy S24 series, and now, specifications for the upcoming Exynos 2500 chipset have been revealed online. According to OreXda on X (formerly Twitter), the Exynos 2500 is anticipated to boast a deca-core (10 cores) CPU, mirroring the configuration of the Exynos 2400. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the Exynos 2500 SoC.
Samsung Exynos 2500 May be Built on a 3nm Process Technology
As per the leaked information, the Exynos 2500 CPU is rumored to incorporate 10 CPU cores, including an undisclosed ARM Cortex-X5 core with a clock speed ranging from 3.3GHz to 3.2GHz. Additionally, it is expected to house 3x Cortex-A730 cores with clock speeds falling between 2.5GHz to 2.3GHz, along with two more Cortex-A730 cores. The presence of four Cortex-A520 cores is also noted, with the clock speed remaining undisclosed at this point.
Moreover, reports suggest that the Exynos 2500 will be manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 2nd-gen 3nm process node, touted to outperform TSMC’s 3nm (N3B) process technology. Notably, the CPU is speculated to integrate the formidable Blackhawk core by ARM (Cortex-X5), promising a significant boost in CPU performance comparable to Apple’s high-performance core.
Nevertheless, based on the leaked specifications, it seems that Samsung is maintaining a conservative approach towards the peak core frequency. According to the information, there is no significant increase in the clock speed of the Cortex-X5 core. Even with a potential 100MHz boost, it may fall short of competing with Apple’s high-performance core, which can scale up to 3.78GHz. Consequently, in terms of single-core performance, the Exynos 2500 is likely to lag behind Apple’s A-series chipset.
Qualcomm has also hinted at the inclusion of Nuvia-designed Oryon CPU cores in the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Built on TSMC’s enhanced 3nm (N3P) process node, this is expected to set a new standard in CPU performance for the American chipmaker.
Despite these considerations, the Exynos 2400 has performed admirably this year, and there are expectations for Samsung to develop a competitive chipset for the next year as well. Share your thoughts on the Exynos 2500’s core CPU architecture in the comment section below.
