Recent reports suggest that the Exynos 2500 might surpass the Apple A15 in terms of efficiency. A tech blogger on Twitter has revealed some new details on the future Exynos 2500.
According to the tipster, Exynos 2500 boasts better energy efficiency than the Apple A15. Previously, we mentioned that Samsung’s upcoming processor might be used not only in Galaxy S25 smartphones but also Exynos 2500 in Galaxy Book series. New information reveals that in addition to a 1+2+3+4 core architecture, there will also be 2+2+2+4 and 1+4+5 core configurations available.

The variety in core configurations is due to Samsung’s plan to use this chip in laptops as well as phones. Laptops require more power, causing the need of more prime cores. Earlier, another leak indicated that Exynos 2500 might feature an ARM Cortex-X5 as its prime core, the same core expected to be used in Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Apple A15, used in iPhone 13 Pro, was introduced three years ago. While it may not seem impressive for a modern chip to surpass it, this actually represents significant progress for Exynos processors. This year, Samsung introduced the 5-core Exynos W100 chip in the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Considering Samsung’s previous watches typically featured dual-core chips, the Watch 7 and Watch Ultra show substantial performance improvements over earlier Galaxy Watches. Samsung may be aiming to reestablish Exynos as a powerhouse in both smartphones and smartwatches. Plus the ARM laptops.
