Key Takeaways
1. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 uses Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset, differing from the Qualcomm chipset in the Galaxy Fold 7, particularly in the European market.
2. The Exynos 2500 features a deca-core design with a mix of high-performance and efficiency cores, built on a 3nm GAA manufacturing process.
3. Graphics performance is powered by the Xclipse 950, which supports AMD’s RDNA 3.5 technology and ray tracing capabilities.
4. The Exynos 2500’s CPU performance lags behind Qualcomm’s leading chipsets, scoring 2478 points in single-core and 8098 points in multi-core benchmarks.
5. The Neural Processing Unit (NPU) performance shows a significant gap, with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 underperforming by up to 32% compared to competitors like the Xiaomi model with Snapdragon 8 Elite.
In comparison to the larger Samsung Galaxy Fold 7, the compact Galaxy Z Flip 7 (which you can find on Amazon) runs on Samsung’s Exynos 2500. This is different from the latest high-end Qualcomm chipset, at least for the European market.
Specifications of Exynos 2500
The Samsung Exynos 2500 marks the debut of Samsung’s innovative 3nm GAA manufacturing process. This system-on-chip (SoC) includes a total of 10 cores. It features a deca-core configuration with a 3.3 GHz Cortex-X925 prime core, two Cortex-A725 cores at 2.75 GHz each, five power-efficient Cortex-A725 cores running at 2.36 GHz, and two efficiency cores based on Cortex-A520, clocked at 1.8 GHz.
Graphics Performance
For graphics, the Exynos 2500 is equipped with the Xclipse 950, operating at 1.3 GHz and utilizing AMD’s RDNA 3.5 technology, which supports ray tracing.
The CPU capabilities of the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 fall short when compared to Qualcomm’s top-tier chipset. The Samsung processor records 2478 points for single core performance and 8098 points for multi-core performance in Geekbench 6. This indicates that the Samsung SoC is approximately 8 to 20 percent behind the performance of the Galaxy Fold 7 and Xiaomi Mix Flip 2.
NPU and AI Performance
As the performance of Neural Processing Units (NPU) is increasingly crucial for smartphones, it’s worth examining the AI results from Geekbench. When comparing the Galaxy Flip 7 to the Xiaomi model powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the performance disparity is even more pronounced, reaching up to 32 percent.
Further benchmark evaluations will be available soon in our in-depth review of the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
