With this year’s Exynos SoCs, Samsung took a giant step forward when it comes to power efficiency and performance. In 2025, it may overtake Qualcomm’s top product, according to a new rumor.
Based on a post by PandaFlashPro on X, the Exynos 2500 has better performance and power efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Samsung’s Exynos 2400 can keep up with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it appears there’s more room for improvement. As the Exynos 2500 is built on a 3 nm process technology, the Snapdragon 8 will use a 4 nm process, giving the Korean manufacturer the advantage.
Samsung is preparing two flagship chipset variants: Exynos 2500-A with an octa-core CPU for smartphones, and Exynos 2500-B with a 10-core CPU for tablets and Galaxy Book laptops. Samsung might also use Google’s Tensor Processing Unit rather than its own NPU, but it’s way too early to confirm any of these rumors.
