Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch its next-generation Exynos processor, which will be available in two different versions, each featuring distinct cores. The upcoming Exynos 2500 is set to debut in two variants: one with 8 cores and another with 10 cores, tailored for specific devices.
Samsung Exynos 2500 Variants
In a departure from its previous strategy, Samsung opted for Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset over its own Exynos line in all regions for the S23 series. However, with the S24 series, Samsung made a comeback by introducing both the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets. Looking ahead, Samsung is poised to unveil a new Exynos chipset in the coming year.
Exynos 2500 Features
Recent reports from the Twitter account "Connor/콘어/コナー" shed light on Samsung's plans for the Exynos 2500 lineup. The 8-core version of the Exynos 2500 is expected to find its place in Samsung smartphones, while the 10-core variant is likely to be integrated into devices such as the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Book.
Moreover, sources suggest that the Exynos 2500 will adopt a 4+4 core architecture, resembling the Dimensity 9300 chipset. Given that Samsung is set to employ the Snapdragon X Elite processor in its next-generation Galaxy Book, the use of the Exynos 2500 in this device comes as no major surprise.
Leaked information hints at the Exynos 2500 leveraging NPU chips to deliver enhanced AI capabilities. There are speculations about the introduction of a new component called "TPU," augmenting the existing G-NPU and S-NPU technologies.
