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.

The post Samsung launches Exynos 2500 flagship chipset with 3nm GAA, 10-core CPU & upgraded AI appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has a lineup of its own mobile processors under the Exynos brand. The top-end offering in the lineup is usually powering the flagship smartphones from the brand, along with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.

But this time, Samsung decided to skip the Exynos version of the flagship smartphones, and thus, the Galaxy S23 series comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in all regions.

While it was speculated that the company may be done with the flagship chipset of its own, given the disappointing reasons for the Exynos 2200, it appears that isn’t the case.

As per the latest information, the South Korean technology giant is working on the Samsung Exynos 2500 SoC, which will feature a self-made GPU based on AMD’s technology. However, the specification of the chip remains unknown at this time.

Previously, Samsung was rumored to be working on a custom graphics processor, and this is likely to be the case as the company would take advantage of the license agreement with AMD, which was recently renewed. It remains to be seen if Samsung is looking to ditch Qualcomm in the longer run and rely only on its own chips.

Although the development sounds exciting, it will take some time, at least a couple of years, before the Samsung Exynos 2500 SoC becomes official. There’s a possibility that the chipset may be manufactured using a second-generation 3nm process if everything goes as per the plans and Samsung starts 3nm production next year.
