Samsung has formally unveiled its newest top mobile CPU, the Exynos 2500 chipset. Complete specs of the chip, which is based on Samsung’s second-generation 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology, are currently available on the company’s website. It has a new AMD-based Xclipse GPU, a 10-core CPU, and significant enhancements in power efficiency, camera processing, and AI capabilities.
Samsung Exynos 2500 Specifications
Arm’s most recent cores form the basis of the CPU’s tri-cluster design. One 3.3GHz Cortex-X925 core, two 2.74GHz Cortex-A725 cores, five 2.36GHz Cortex-A725 cores, and two 1.8GHz Cortex-A520 efficiency cores are also included. According to Samsung, CPU performance has increased by 15% from the previous model.
Samsung has paired the new Xclipse 950 GPU, created in partnership with AMD, with the Exynos 2500. The GPU has a dual-shader engine configuration and is based on the RDNA 3 architecture. In comparison to the previous generation, Samsung claims that it increases frame rates by up to 28% and enhances ray tracing capabilities.
By optimizing the CPU cluster arrangement and implementing fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), which improves heat dissipation while decreasing chip thickness, Samsung has increased power efficiency.
A 24K MAC NPU with a 2-GNPU + 2-SNPU combination and DSP capability is part of the Exynos 2500’s AI capabilities. A 39% boost over the Exynos 2400, Samsung claims that the NPU can reach up to 590 TOPS (trillion operations per second). The chip keeps data processing safe and offline while supporting a variety of on-device AI functions, including text summarization, real-time translation, and picture synthesis.
The Exynos 2500 can accommodate dual 64MP + 32MP configurations and single-camera sensors up to 320MP. It has a 30 fps 8K video recording and 60 fps decoding capability. Dynamic range compression, multi-layer, and temporal-spatial noise reduction are features of the improved picture signal processor.
The processor can handle 4K/WQUXGA panels at up to 120 Hz, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage. A 5G modem with up to 12.1Gbps downlink on mmWave, full GNSS coverage, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and compatibility for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) are all examples of connectivity.
Production of the Exynos 2500 has begun. Although Samsung has not yet formally announced which smartphone would use the new processor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is anticipated to be the first to do so.
