Samsung’s Exynos 2500: A Deep Dive into the New Chipset

Samsung has officially announced the Exynos 2500, a new mobile processor built on a 3nm GAA process, designed for its future flagship phones. The Exynos 2500 incorporates a 10-core CPU with a high-performance Cortex-X5 core and multiple Cortex-A725 and Cortex-A520 cores. The chip includes the Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, which supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, enhancing graphics capabilities. This enables high-resolution display support, 4K or WQUXGA, at 120Hz. Additionally, it has a powerful NPU for AI operations, offering significant performance improvements. The Exynos 2500 also supports advanced camera features, handling up to 320MP single camera setups and enabling 8K video recording. Connectivity is upgraded with a 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7, and satellite connectivity for improved emergency communications. The Exynos 2500 is expected to launch in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Despite promising specifications, there are concerns that low yield rates may hinder wide availability in the initial launch phase. Samsung’s latest chipset aims to enhance performance, graphics, and connectivity in its upcoming smartphones.
