Exynos 2600 is faster than Snapdragon 8 Elite

Samsung is developing a new flagship chipset for mobile devices, the Exynos 2600, which the brand may use for its next non-foldable flagship smartphone lineup, the Galaxy S26 series, in some regions. In the past, leaks about the SoC have shed light on its CPU as well as GPU performance.

However, the CPU benchmark that we got to see in the past wasn’t very impressive, mainly because the chipset was still in development. Well, today we have a new CPU benchmark of the Exynos 2600. This one shows that it has a much higher performance, beating even Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite.

On Geekbench, a new benchmark listing of Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2600 has been spotted (via @Jukanlosreve). In the single-core CPU test, the chipset has scored 3,309 points, and in the multi-core CPU test, it has scored 11,256 points, as you can see in the screenshot below.

In comparison, the Galaxy S25’s Snapdragon 8 Elite scored 2,900 points in the single-core test and 9,300 points in the multi-core test. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 7's Exynos 2500 scored around 2,500 points in the single-core test and 8,100 points in the multi-core test.

That means the Exynos 2600’s CPU is 13% to 17% faster than that of the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 32% to 38% faster than that of the Exynos 2500.
