Samsung's Exynos 2700 Makes Its First Appearance on Geekbench

Even though Samsung's latest flagship Galaxy S26 lineup is still relatively fresh, the brand is already working on its next generation of mobile silicon. The Exynos 2700, which is expected to power the next-gen Galaxy S27 series, has officially made its first Geekbench appearance with quite a few major changes.

Exynos 2700 Features a 10-Core Setup

The Exynos 2700 was spotted in the database carrying the model number S5E9975 alongside an ERD (Engineering Reference Device) tag. For those unaware, this implies that the test was carried out on an early engineering testing unit and not the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27.

The chipset hits 2,603 points in single-core and 10,350 points in multi-core scores with 12 GB of RAM onboard. Additionally, going by the Geekbench listing, we know that the test bench was running on Android 17.

While this isn't something to write home about, given that the Exynos 2600 chipset outperforms these scores, it's worth noting that these are early test scores.

The chipset still uses a 10-core configuration, but with a slightly unconventional core setup - 1x prime core clocked at 2.78 GHz, 4x performance cores at 2.88 GHz, 4x efficiency cores at 2.4 GHz and 1x super-efficient core at 2.3 GHz.

Going by this, do note that the testing unit manages to score that with a peak frequency of 2.88 GHz. However, when it goes over to 4 GHz as expected, it will yield much better results. 

Beyond computing, a separate OpenCL test sheds light on the chipset's early graphical capabilities. The listing confirms Xclipse 970 GPU, which managed to pull a good 17,644 points. If industry rumours are anything to go by, this will be Samsung's first indigenously developed GPU after cutting ties with AMD.

And just like the Exynos 2600, the Exynos 2700 will be based on the improved Samsung 2nm SF2P node. According to industry insiders, this advanced process, combined with HPB (Heat Path Block) tech, could result in up to 25% better efficiency and up to 12% faster performance.

Considering this is an early test unit, a lot can change by the time we see the Galaxy S27's rumour mill at full throttle. Until then, stay tuned.
