Galaxy S26's Exynos 2600 chip reappears with faster performance

Samsung’s next flagship chipset for mobile devices is expected to be the Exynos 2600. In the past, the SoC has appeared on Geekbench, revealing that it is faster than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite and Apple’s A19 Pro. Well, the Exynos 2600 has revisited Geekbench, and this time, it performed even better.

On Geekbench, a new Exynos 2600 listing has appeared (via Jukan). According to it, the phone scored 3,455 in the single-core CPU test and 11,621 points in the multi-core CPU test. Previously, the processor had 3,309 and 11,256 points in the single-core and multi-core CPU tests.

Going by these scores, it looks like Samsung has optimised the Exynos 2600 even further to perform faster. Unfortunately, even with that, the SoC is behind Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which scored 3,832 and 12,170 points in the single-core and multi-core CPU tests.

While people may not have an issue with the Exynos 2600 scoring marginally lower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in a few benchmark tests, they may want to see the Exynos 2600 perform equally good or better than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in power consumption and thermals.
