Samsung Exynos 2500 Benchmark Leaked: Ten-Core Design, Challenging Snapdragon 8 Gen 4?

Today, overseas blogger "@Jukanlosreve" posted a screenshot suspected to be a Samsung processor running on Geekbench 6 on the X platform, sparking speculation about Samsung's next-generation flagship processor, Exynos 2500. The screenshot shows that the processor has an identification code of "s5e9955" and adopts a ten-core design, including three 2.59GHz Cortex-X925 super-large cores, five 2.25GHz A725 large cores, and two 1.75GHz A520 small cores. The Exynos 2500's GPU is the Xclipse950, developed based on AMD Radeon, integrating 8 CUs with a clock speed of 1.3GHz.

In recent years, Samsung Galaxy S series phones have been adopting a "dual-chip" strategy, using the self-developed Exynos processor in South Korea and Qualcomm's flagship processor in other regions. Previous reports suggested that Samsung's next-generation flagship Galaxy S25 series would fully adopt the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor due to production bottlenecks in Exynos. However, some industry insiders believe that Samsung has not completely abandoned Exynos processors. If production capacities can be increased to a certain extent, they might offer flagship phones with Exynos processors in more regions.

The leak of Exynos 2500's benchmark scores seems to confirm Samsung's determination to continue developing its own chips. Although its performance is yet to be officially confirmed, the ten-core design and the Xclipse950 GPU based on AMD Radeon indicate that Samsung remains committed to processor technology.

It's noteworthy that Xiaomi phones usually have the first launch of new Snapdragon chips in China, while Samsung Galaxy phones have always been the first in overseas markets. Therefore, if Samsung ultimately chooses to revert to the dual-chip strategy in the Galaxy S25 series, the Exynos 2500 will likely be unveiled alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, offering users greater choices.

Spy shots of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series have also been leaked, showing a design largely similar to previous generations, except for a slight adjustment in the camera Deco. This camera Deco design is either loved or hated.

With October approaching, domestic and international mobile phone manufacturers will be releasing their flagship products, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will face fierce competition from rivals. The performance of Exynos 2500 and Samsung's breakthrough in production capacity will be crucial for the Galaxy S25 series to stand out in the competition.

Currently, more information about Exynos 2500 has not been released, and we have to wait for further announcements from Samsung. However, it is clear that Samsung still exhibits strong competitiveness in the high-end processor field. Whether Exynos processors can return to their peak in the future remains to be seen.
