Samsung has introduced its new flagship processor Exynos 2600the first to be manufactured using the GAA (Gate-All-Around) process 2 nm for smartphonesthat integrates improvements to both artificial intelligence (AI) and gaming experiences with a range of more powerful CPUs, NPUs and GPUs in a compact chip.
The Korean technology company has officially unveiled the features of its new high-performance processor designed for mobile devices. It is expected to be integrated into the next generation of Galaxy S26 flagship smartphones.
This new chip is characterized, among other things, by its 2-nanometer GAA manufacturing, the first on the market for smartphones and that, as Samsung has assured, it is an advance that allows it to achieve “high levels” of performance and energy efficiency.
In terms of structure, the new Exynos 2600 consists of: a 10-core CPU based on the latest Arm v9.3 architecture. Instead of maintaining the structure of large, medium and small cores used in previous models, Samsung has updated the structure to medium cores to “cover a wider performance range” and improve efficiency, as explained on its website.
This is how the structure is put together a large Arm C1 Ultra core with a clock speed of 3.8 GHzwhich accelerates responsiveness thanks to higher processing speed and IPC performance.
In addition there is this The remaining nine cores are optimized separately to achieve “more optimal” efficiency in both efficiency tasks and higher-performance workloads, according to Samsung. On the one hand, it is equipped with three powerful Arm C1-Prox3 central cores that reach 3.25 GHz and improve multi-threaded applications. On the other hand, it has six highly efficient ARM C1-Prox6 2.75GHz central cores, which improve system management performance without wasting energy.
As a result, the company has assured that the new Exynos 2600 Improves overall CPU computing performance by up to 39 percentwhich also increases energy efficiency.
When it comes to graphics, the Exynos 2600 integrates a Exynos Xclipse 960 GPU, which manages to double the computing power of the previous model. This improves ray tracing performance by up to 50 percent and features Exynos Neural Super Sampling (ENSS) technology, which offers higher resolution and AI-based frame generation.
All of this guarantees a gaming experience that is up to three times smoother. Additionally, the tech company has also highlighted its power structure to “further” improve efficiency.
Those in turn NPU improves generative AI performance by 113 percentcompared to its predecessor. Samsung says this is because it is incorporating architectural improvements that increase the computational efficiency of generative AI by reducing both power consumption and latency. Additionally, it allows “larger and more diverse” AI models to run on the device.
As a result, the NPU Enables additional AI tasks on the device, such as: B. intelligent image editing and AI assistant functions“faster and more efficient.” Likewise, these improvements lead to greater privacy through the security of virtualization and hardware-assisted hybrid post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
In addition, Samsung has explained in detail that the new Exynos 2600 is compatible with the AI-based image processing, Therefore, it also offers improvements to the premium mobile photography experience.
One of the features included is the AI-based Visual Perception System (VPS). allows the ISP to recognize detailed image elementsincluding flickering, within photos and videos. The is processed in real timeIn addition, with 50 percent less energy consumption when completing these tasks.
It also includes improvements to the overall camera experience, such as: Video noise reduction with deep learning (DVNR), which improves video quality in low light conditions. It is also compatible with cameras up to 320 MP and has recently taken over APV8 codec that further improves the level of detail and color accuracy in professional-level videos.
Finally the Exynos 2600 renews its thermal management and introduces the Heat Path Block (HPB).a technology that improves the efficiency of heat dissipation by optimizing the heat transfer path to dissipate heat more efficiently.
This system is new for mobile processors and Reduces thermal resistance by up to 16 percentThis allows the internal heat to be dissipated more quickly and the internal temperature remains stable even under high workloads.
