Summary

  • In the rumoured AnTuTu benchmark scores, the Exynos 2600 is expected to score around 4 million points.
  • Its 10-core ARMv9.3 CPU could deliver great performance with scores of over 11,000 points in multi-core in Geekbench.
  • The Exynos 2600 could power the upcoming Galaxy S26 in Korea, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8 globally.

Samsung has unveiled its next flagship Exynos processor, the Exynos 2600, and it will power the next generation of Samsung flagships around the world. The chip is expected to arrive in the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the Samsung Galaxy S26, and has appeared on benchmarking platforms on countless occasions, boasting impressive specifications and scores. Here are all the leaked benchmark results and official specifications of the Exynos 2600 chipset.

Exynos 2600: AnTuTu Score (Rumoured)

While the Exynos 2600 is now official, we don't have any official or tested AnTuTu scores of the processor. Although we know that it will first power the Galaxy S26 in Korea. We have comprehensively tested the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and the Exynos 2600 is rumoured to boast similar performance.

Recent rumours point toward the chipset's prototype scoring around 4 million points in AnTuTu, which is double that of the Exynos 2500 and the same as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Dimensity 9500.

As for the cores that may help the processor reach that score, the Exynos 2600 is a deca-core chipset featuring ARM's latest ARMv9.3-A architecture cores, namely 1x Cortex-C1 Ultra, 3x Cortex-C1 Pro and 6x Cortex-C1 Pro cores clocked at 3.8 GHz, 3.25 GHz and 2.75 GHz, respectively. GPU-wise, it boasts the all-new Xclipse 960, which is based on AMD's RDNA3.5 architecture.

Unlike the AnTuTu scores, we do have the potential Geekbench scores of the Exynos 2600, giving us a brief idea of what to expect from the chipset. The prototype Exynos 2600, which appeared on Geekbench a month ago, scores 3,455 points in single-core and 11,621 in multi-core.

The scores indicate a very similar performance to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It suggests that the Exynos 2600 should be capable of delivering flagship performance with its core setup. It should handle multitasking and heavy processing with relative ease.

And that's all we know about the Exynos 2600 at the moment. To reiterate, it is expected to power the upcoming Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Historically, Exynos chipsets have done well in leaked benchmark scores but have faltered in real-life performance, largely due to being susceptible to overheating.

Therefore, while the Exynos 2600 looks like a solid upgrade this year, we would not bet on it just yet. However, if it does end up performing the same as the current flagship processors, the landscape could take a turn for the better after years of Qualcomm-MediaTek duopoly.
