Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series will exclusively utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, indicating ongoing challenges in scaling production of its Exynos 2500 processor. While mass production issues persist, reports suggest that there will be enough Exynos 2500 units available for at least one device—the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Flip 7. According to sources, this new chipset retains the same 10-core configuration as the earlier Exynos 2400 but features updates to ARM’s CPU designs, enhancing overall performance. Below, we delve deeper into the specifications and what we can expect from this new technology.
Exynos 2500 Overview: Advanced Features and Specifications
Although exact release details for the Exynos 2500 have not emerged from leak sources like @Jukanlosreve, it is confirmed for use in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung appears to be strategically opting for the Exynos over the Snapdragon 8 Elite, likely to manage production costs for its clamshell smartphone, potentially allowing for a more competitive retail price.
CPU Configuration and Performance
This new chip incorporates a sophisticated 10-core CPU setup. The flagship core, ARM’s Cortex-X925, operates at an impressive 3.30GHz, accompanied by two additional Cortex-A725 cores clocking at 2.75GHz. Following these are five more Cortex-A725 cores with a speed of 2.36GHz, and finally, two Cortex-A520 cores at a more modest 1.80GHz. This configuration ensures balanced performance across a variety of tasks.
RAM and Storage Capabilities
The Exynos 2500 is designed to support 16MB of L3 cache and is compatible with 16-bit quad-channel LPDDR5X RAM operating at a speed of 9.6Gbps. Furthermore, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is set to feature UFS 4.0 storage, which enhances data transfer rates, ensuring that users benefit from swift app launches and file access.
Xclipse 950 GPU: A Partnership with AMD
In a notable collaboration, Samsung has once again partnered with AMD to integrate the Xclipse 950 GPU into the Exynos 2500. Utilizing AMD’s RDNA 3.5 architecture, this graphics processor is rumored to feature eight cores with a clock speed of 1.30GHz. This GPU is expected to significantly enhance gaming and graphic experiences on the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
