Samsung Galaxy S25’s secret Exynos 2500 spotted with monster specs

Key specs of Samsung Galaxy S25’s secret Exynos 2500 have been revealed. A brand new version of Exynos 2500 has surfaced on the Geekbench database. The prototype chip’s model number is the same as the previous listing, but the specs are different.

Samsung Galaxy S25’s Exynos 2500 spotted with 10-core architecture. The latest variant packs two more prime CPU cores compared to the initial prototype. This development comes when Samsung faces a tough call for the processor.

The new alleged Exynos 2500 chipset is equipped with three Cortex-X925 CPU cores clocked at 2.59GHz, five Cortex-A725 CPU cores clocked at 2.25GHz, and two Cortex-A520 CPU cores running at 1.75GHz.

The chip boasts AMD Radeon-based Xclipse 950 GPU with two additional GPU cores clocked at 1.3GHz. The additional 2 CPU and 2 GPU cores would make it a power-consuming chipset, suitable for tablets and laptops rather than smartphones.

Here are the leaked Exynos 2500 details from the Geekbench listing:

At the recent earnings call, Samsung issued a public apology as it faces yield concerns with the 3nm foundry. The Exynos 2500’s commercialization is unlikely as the company won’t be able to approve mass production at a 20-30% yield rate.

Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite (8 Gen 4) could power the Galaxy S25 series globally. The company is reportedly considering a strategic deal with MediaTek to use Dimensity 9400 in the Galaxy S25 FE next year.
