Samsung has officially announced the Exynos 2500 chipset, its latest flagship mobile processor. The chip is built on Samsung’s second-generation 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process and is now listed on the company’s website with full specifications. It features a 10-core CPU, a new AMD-based Xclipse GPU, and major improvements in AI performance, camera processing, and power efficiency.
Samsung Exynos 2500 Specifications
The CPU uses a tri-cluster architecture based on Arm’s latest cores. It includes one Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.3GHz, two Cortex-A725 cores at 2.74GHz, five Cortex-A725 cores at 2.36GHz, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz. Samsung claims a 15% improvement in CPU performance over the previous generation.
Samsung has equipped the Exynos 2500 with the new Xclipse 950 GPU, developed in collaboration with AMD. The GPU is based on the RDNA 3 architecture and features a dual-shader engine setup. Samsung says it improves ray tracing performance and boosts frame rates by up to 28% compared to the previous generation.
Samsung has improved power efficiency by refining the CPU cluster configuration and adopting fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), which enhances heat dissipation while reducing chip thickness.
On the AI side, the Exynos 2500 includes a 24K MAC NPU with a 2-GNPU + 2-SNPU configuration and DSP support. Samsung says the NPU achieves up to 590 TOPS (trillion operations per second), marking a 39% increase over the Exynos 2400. The chip supports a wide range of on-device AI features, such as image generation, real-time translation, and text summarization, while keeping data processing secure and offline.
For photography, the Exynos 2500 supports up to 320MP single-camera sensors and dual 64MP + 32MP setups. It can record 8K video at 30fps and decode at 60fps. The upgraded image signal processor includes multi-layer and temporal-spatial noise reduction and dynamic range compression.
The chip supports LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, along with 4K/WQUXGA displays at up to 120Hz. Connectivity includes a 5G modem with up to 12.1Gbps downlink on mmWave, support for non-terrestrial networks (NTN), Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and full GNSS coverage.
The Exynos 2500 is now in mass production. Samsung has not yet officially confirmed which smartphone will feature the new chip, but it is expected to debut in the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7.
