Samsung is developing a next-generation in-house chipset, the Exynos 2600, which has now been spotted on Geekbench, revealing its GPU performance better than the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Last month, Samsung introduced the 3nm-based Exynos 2500 chipset, and now it has shifted its focus to the new Exynos 2600 chip. Recently, it’s been reported that the company has started testing the Exynos 2600 chipset, as it has been spotted on Geekbench with the model number S5E9965, the listing revealed its specifications and CPU performance benchmark.
Now, again, the chip appeared on another benchmark, but this time revealing the GPU performance. A tipster, @Jukanlosreve, has shared a post on X, showing the 3D Mark Steel Nomad Light GPU benchmark result of the Exynos 2600. According to the new listing, the chipset scored 3,135 points and offered an average frame rate of 23.23 frames per second (FPS).
Coming on the rivalry side, the Snapdragon 8 Elite scored 2,681 points and delivered 19.87 FPS. If the recent scores of the Exynos 2600 come into existence, then its Xclipse 960 GPU is a 15% more powerful than Snapdagon 8 Elite’s Adreno 830 GPU.
Noticeably, the tipster also mentioned that the scores were measured on a test board rather than a smartphone. However, currently, the chipset is in the development phase, and these scores are also based on the early test, so it will be interesting to see whether the scores will increase or remain constant.
It is also reported that Samsung is actively looking forward to launching the Galaxy S26 lineup in early 2025, and the base variant of the series could be powered by the in-house Exynos 2600 chip, at least in selected regions.
