Exynos 2600 aims to make Samsung's smartphone chips competitive again
"The Exynos 2600 uses Arm's latest CPU architecture, including the C1-Ultra and C1-Pro cores. Whereas previous generations used a design with large, medium, and small cores, Samsung has now opted for a configuration without efficiency cores. Thanks to improvements in energy consumption, all small cores have been replaced by medium-sized cores, which, according to Samsung, leads to higher and more consistent performance."
"In addition to general computing power, there is a strong emphasis on AI processing. According to Samsung, the integrated NPU would deliver more than double the performance of its predecessor. Neowin adds that Samsung is primarily focusing on more efficient execution of generative AI tasks on the device itself, with less reliance on cloud processing. At the same time, the company is introducing additional security measures, including virtualization-based protection and support for hybrid post-quantum cryptography at the hardware level."
Samsung plans to introduce the Exynos 2600 SoC, the first mobile chip manufactured on a 2-nanometer Gate-All-Around process. The Exynos line struggled to compete with Qualcomm and Apple in recent years, prompting Samsung to drop Exynos from Galaxy S flagships this year. The Exynos 2600 uses Arm's C1-Ultra and C1-Pro cores and replaces efficiency cores with medium-sized cores to improve energy use and deliver higher, more consistent CPU performance. Samsung claims about 39% CPU improvement over the Exynos 2500. The integrated NPU is said to more than double prior performance, enabling on-device generative AI and enhanced security features including virtualization-based protection and hybrid post-quantum cryptography support.
