Samsung has unveiled the Exynos 2500, its latest and most powerful mobile processor to date. Based on a 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process, the chip brings significant advancements in power, efficiency, AI, and graphics. It will reportedly fuel Samsung’s future foldables, such as the Galaxy Z Flip and high-end Galaxy S flagships.
First 3nm GAA Chip by Samsung
The Exynos 2500 is manufactured using Samsung’s 3nm GAA process. This process makes the chip physically smaller while also enhancing power efficiency and thermal management. The new chip is cooler and uses less power compared to the Exynos 2400, which is based on 4nm, making phones faster and more battery-efficient.
The new chip by Samsung comes with a 10-core CPU in a quad-cluster design. It comprises:
- 1 Cortex-X925 core at 3.3 GHz for performance
- 2 Cortex-A725 cores at 2.76 GHz
- 5 Cortex-A725 cores at 2.35 GHz
- 2 Cortex-A520 cores at 1.8 GHz
This configuration provides a 15% performance increase over the Exynos 2400 with enhanced multitasking, gaming, and app launch.
AMD-Powered Graphics
For graphics, the Exynos 2500 also features the Xclipse 950 GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture. It boasts 8 Work Group Processors and 8 Render Backends. Samsung describes this GPU as providing a 28% increase in frame rates and including hardware-accelerated ray tracing support.
Players can look forward to smoother graphics and more engaging play.
The chip features a new Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with 59 trillion operations per second (TOPS). That’s a significant leap from the last chip, making smarter on-device AI capabilities such as real-time translation, object identification, and voice control possible without cloud connection.
Camera and Connectivity Improvements
The Exynos 2500 can support up to 320MP cameras and can also record 8K video at 30 fps. It has improved noise reduction and Dynamic Range Compression, which should mean sharper and clearer images and videos.
Connectivity is also future-proofed. The chip supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G (sub-6GHz and mmWave), and even satellite-based messaging (NTN support). It also supports LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
Samsung is going all in on the Exynos 2500. With this processor, it’s not merely catching up; it’s attempting to take a giant leap. Smaller, quicker, and more intelligent, the 2500 might redefine the Android flagship scene in 2025 and beyond.
