Back in July, Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chipset was spotted in the Geekbench online database with some less than impressive results – a 2,155 single-core score and a 7,788 multi-core score.
Today the chip has run the benchmark again, with much improved scores, and ones that finally live up to its flagship level. This time, it managed a 3,309 single-core score and an 11,256 multi-core score, so Samsung is definitely tweaking things for the better, seeing as how these results are close to Apple’s M3 and beat Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The CPU’s prime core now reaches 3.8 GHz (up from 3.55 GHz), the three performance cores go up to 3.26 GHz (up from 2.96 GHz), and the six other cores are clocked at 2.76 GHz (up from 2.46 GHz).
The Exynos 2600 is expected to be the first mobile SoC fabbed on a 2nm process. According to Samsung, it should offer “a significant improvement in NPU performance” compared to the Exynos 2500, with “enhanced support for on-device AI”. The Exynos 2600 will most likely make its debut in January inside the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge.
