Reports are emerging that Samsung will utilize its in-house Exynos 2600 chipset to power the upcoming Galaxy S26, a development that has sparked significant interest with recent corrections to previously leaked Geekbench scores.

Just a few hours ago, a tipster, @OreXda, shared a post on X, revealing key details about the Exynos 2600 chipset. According to this information, the chipset is based on a 2nm process and features two powerful Cortex-X cores and six Cortex-A cores. Initial test results on Geekbench indicated that the single-core score could reach 2400, while the multi-core score could reach 9400.

Based on previous benchmark scores, the chipset is expected to demonstrate a 20% increase in single-core performance and a 15% increase in multi-core performance compared to its predecessor, the Exynos 2400.

Notably, the same tipster has since shared a new post with revised data, claiming that the earlier numbers were based on outdated assumptions regarding Samsung Foundry’s 2nm yield. According to the updated Geekbench 6 figures, the single-core score of the Exynos 2600 chipset reached 2950, while the multi-core score reached 10,200. These scores are significantly better than the previously leaked figures. The tipster also mentioned that the earlier estimates were based on a 10% mass production yield, which severely underestimates the chip’s potential.

The new Exynos 2600 benchmark scores have narrowed the gap between the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and Dimensity 9500’s scores, as these chipsets may still be posting higher benchmark scores, with single-core scores nearing 4,000 and multi-core scores nearing 11,000.

Although Samsung has yet to release official details regarding its next flagship Exynos 2600 chipset, if these scores are accurate, the Galaxy S26 series will be well-equipped to deliver high-end performance.
