Samsung's upcoming flagship processor, the Exynos 2600, has appeared on Geekbench. This reveals what seems like the true early performance of the chipset ahead of its official launch.
First spotted by tipster @Jukanlosreve on X, the listing dated August 29, 2025, on Geekbench 6.4, lists the chipset with the S5E9965 ERD model number.
In the benchmark, the processor recorded a single-core score of 3,309 points. Meanwhile, the chipset manages to score 11,256 points on the multi-core test.
Additionally, the device running the chipset (possibly the Samsung Galaxy S26) is seen running on Android 16 and packing 12 GB of RAM.
As per the Geekbench database entry, the Exynos 2600 features a 10-core CPU setup with six cores clocked at 2.76 GHz. Additionally, there are three cores clocked at 3.26 GHz and a prime core clocked a 3.80 GHZ.
What stands out is that Samsung's chipset managed to cross 3,300 points in single-core performance at just 3.8 GHz. On the other hand, Apple's A18 Pro hit around 3,400 points but needed a higher clock speed of 4.05 GHz to do so.
This is not the first time the 2nm Exynos 2600 has appeared on Geekbench, but it's certainly the best early score we've gotten so far. Chances are, this is as final as it can get.
The architecture of the Exynos 2600 is based on ARMv8 and is expected to debut with the Galaxy S25 series in early 2026. From the looks of it, the chipset will bring some solid competition to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and Apple's A19 chipset.
