The Exynos 2600 has popped up on Geekbench once again, this time with even better performance numbers. 

According to the latest benchmark listing, Samsung’s upcoming flagship chip scored 3,455 points in single-core and 11,621 points in multi-core tests. For comparison, when it first appeared back in August, it managed to get 3,309 and 11,256 points, respectively.

In both runs, the CPU configuration remains the same. The chip’s prime Cortex-X930 core is running at 3.8GHz, three Cortex-A730 performance cores at 3.26GHz, and six Cortex-A730S cores clocked at 2.76GHz. The improvement suggests Samsung has been doing some behind-the-scenes tuning to squeeze more out of the silicon.

To put those numbers in perspective, our Xiaomi 17 unit with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 reached 3,078 points in single-core and 9,162 in multi-core. 

On paper, that means the Exynos 2600 is currently ahead. Still, it’s worth remembering that Samsung’s test setup is a controlled environment, and real-world results could look different once the chip lands in actual phones.

There’s a possibility of two versions

Interestingly, Samsung may be working on two versions of the Exynos 2600. A variant with lower clock speeds also appeared on Geekbench last week, showing prime core at 3.55GHz, three performance cores at 2.96GHz, and six efficiency cores at 2.46GHz. Unsurprisingly, its scores dipped to 3,047 (single-core) and 10,025 (multi-core).

According to SammyGuru, the dual listings could hint that Samsung may be planning to use two versions of the chip across its lineup. The higher-clocked model might be reserved for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, while the S26 and S26 Plus could ship with the toned-down variant. That’s just speculation for now.

A new Geekbench 6 test is doing the rounds today on social media, showing the raw performance of what appears to be the final configuration of Samsung's upcoming flagship Exynos 2600 chip. Unfortunately, the chip fails to exceed the proven benchmark scores of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but manages to significantly narrow down the erstwhile performance gap between the two SoCs.

Samsung’s faster Exynos 2600 has reappeared on Geekbench, securing impressive performance scores. It seems Samsung is testing two different versions of Exynos, with the main difference anticipated in CPU frequencies.

Earlier, an underclocked Exynos 2600 emerged on Geekbench, showing a performance decline. It took Samsung around a week to reevaluate its powerful Exynos 2600 chip, which has broken the previous performance records.

In the test conducted on October 29, Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip hit 3,455 and 11,621 in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

This particular chip’s prime core is clocked at 3.80 GHz, while the 6-core cluster is clocked at 2.76 GHz and the 3-core cluster at 3.26 GHz.

In the past, the same SoC scored 3,309 in single-core and 11,256 in multi-core tests. That said, Samsung has improved the overall performance, which is not huge but worth praising.

Last week, an underclocked Exynos surfaced for the first time. The prime core was clocked at 3.55 GHz, while the other setups were at 2.46 GHz and 2.96 GHz. It managed to score 3,047 in single-core and 10,025 in multi-core tests.

Two versions of its upcoming Exynos hint at a future strategy or chip diversification. Who knows if Samsung’s preparing a faster version for Galaxy S26 Ultra and the underclocked for the other two models, base and Plus.

Exynos 2600 is manufactured using Samsung’s cutting-edge 2nm process technology. It’s a huge technological edge over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is still based on TSMC’s 3-nanometer foundry process.

Samsung plans to equip the Asian and European Galaxy S26 and Plus with its 2nm Exynos chipset. Meanwhile, the US, Chinese, and Canadian variants would still feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
