Will some Galaxy S26 fashions be miles behind?

Samsung teased the arrival of the Exynos 2600 processor earlier this month, and it’s anticipated to energy the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus in some areas. Now, a trusted leaker has posted extra particulars in regards to the chipset.

Tipster Ice Universe claimed on Twitter that the Exynos 2600 has a 2nm design. They add that the chipset has a 10-core CPU, that includes one cluster clocked at 3.9GHz, one other clocked at 3.25GHz, and a 3rd cluster working at 2.75GHz.

This clock pace would fall effectively wanting the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and MediaTek Dimensity 9500 CPUs. Nevertheless, it will be slightly quicker than the Tensor G5‘s 3.78GHz peak pace. There’s extra to CPU efficiency than clock pace alone, as the kind of CPU core, quantity of cache, and different components all play an essential position. Nevertheless, this frequency does counsel that Samsung’s chip won’t supply the identical stage of CPU efficiency if all different specs are an identical.

The leaker provides that the Exynos 2600 has a so-called AMD JUNO GPU working at 985MHz. We’re guessing that JUNO is merely a codename for the Xclipse 960, with earlier Xclipse GPUs additionally apparently utilizing codenames derived from house probes.

Ice Universe claims that this GPU helps Vulkan 1.3. For what it’s price, Vulkan 1.4 is already accessible and helps so-called Host Picture Copy performance to stream giant quantities of information whereas sustaining full rendering efficiency. In plain English, that would imply higher efficiency and quicker loading in cellular video games. It will subsequently be a disgrace if Samsung doesn’t embrace Vulkan 1.4.

In any occasion, the 2nm design and 10-core CPU align with earlier leaks and stories. So we’re beginning to get a good suggestion of what to anticipate from the Exynos 2600 forward of the Galaxy S26 sequence launch.
