Samsung’s Exynos 2600, its next high-end mobile processor, will be the first to use a 2nm manufacturing process. Built with Samsung Foundry’s Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology, the chip marks a major leap in smartphone performance and power efficiency.
The Exynos 2600 is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 series, likely in select regions only. Leaks reveal the chip will feature a 10-core CPU setup that includes one prime core, three performance cores, and six efficiency cores.
It will also come equipped with the Eclipse 960 GPU, which is said to deliver 15% better performance than Qualcomm’s Adreno 830 in the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Samsung announced the news at its Q2 2025 earnings call, where it also revealed a $16.5 billion deal with Tesla to supply 2nm chips. The partnership could help Samsung recover from recent setbacks in its chip business and expand into the automotive market.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 performing well and the Galaxy S26 Series expected to bring even more upgrades, Samsung is positioning itself for a strong year ahead.
