Latest Benchmark Leak: Exynos 2600 Reveals 10-Core Cluster with All Performance Cores and Low Single-Core & Multi-Core Scores Indicating Early Testing Phase

In June, Samsung initiated prototype mass production of its latest System on Chip (SoC), the Exynos 2600. This process utilizes cutting-edge 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology, positioning the chipset to enhance its competitiveness in the market. While specific yield data is not yet available, a recent benchmark leak has surfaced, providing initial insights into the chipset’s performance capabilities, including single-core and multi-core scores. It is anticipated that the Exynos 2600 will play a pivotal role in next year’s Galaxy S26 lineup as the company fine-tunes the SoC for market readiness.

Benchmark Insights: Exynos 2600 Hits 3.55GHz

A Samsung smartphone bearing the model number S5E9965 was identified in the Geekbench 6 database, thanks to a tip from @Jukanlosreve. The benchmark test unveiled scores generated by the Exynos 2600, which includes a unique CPU configuration of ‘1 + 3 + 6′, aggregating to 10 cores. This design closely mirrors the architecture of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 series. Given the impressive 2nm GAA fabrication process, Samsung might pivot to an all-performance core setup, sidelining efficiency cores altogether, thus potentially enhancing performance without sacrificing power efficiency.

While the benchmark scores for both single-core and multi-core functions appear lower than anticipated, it is important to note that these results stem from early testing phases. As development continues, we expect improvements in these metrics. Currently, the tested device is equipped with 12GB of RAM, a specification also seen in the recently released Galaxy S25 series, suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy S26 models may follow suit with similar configurations.

Exynos 2600 shows up in the latest benchmark — Although the scores are underwhelming, remember that the Exynos 2600 is still undergoing testing and optimizations.

According to earlier reports, the design of the Exynos 2600 must reach completion by the third quarter to facilitate mass production. Samsung is concentrating on improving yield rates with its 2nm GAA technology, anticipating that this advanced lithography will be in high demand for several years. As the year progresses, we can anticipate further developments in this area, so it’s worth keeping an eye on updates.
