The hype train for the upcoming Exynos 2600 chipset—the engine for the next Galaxy S26 flagship series in some regions—is accelerating once again. An unexpected benchmark downgrade briefly generated some concern regarding the chip’s performance recently, although subsequent updated results dispelled those. Now, the latest benchmark results for the Exynos 2600 chip on Geekbench confirm the upward trend in the chip’s raw power.

Fresh leaked results from internal Geekbench tests now show the Samsung Exynos 2600 chip reaching record-breaking performance numbers, suggesting the SoC is still gaining power.

Exynos 2600 hits new benchmark milestone on Geekbench

The latest information comes courtesy of tech tipster “Schrodinger,” who shared a screenshot of the recent scores. It’s important to note that these results are not yet publicly available on the Geekbench database, coming from internal testing. The source itself also has a short journey, so you can take it with a pinch of salt.

That being said, the alleged numbers themselves are impressive. The Exynos 2600 chip achieved scores of 3,960 in single-core and 12,121 in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6. This is a noticeable jump from the chip’s previous high-water mark, where it scored 3,455 and 11,621 points in the same tests.

Samsung drove these performance gains by slightly adjusting the clock speeds across the CPU cores for this latest test. The new configuration features a main core running at a faster 3.92GHz, compared to the 3.80GHz seen previously. All subsequent clusters also saw slight increases in speed (from 3.26GHz to 3.36GHz, and 2.76GHz to 2.82GHz).

The big question: Final clock speeds?

The key question remains: are these the final core clock figures for the Exynos 2600, or is Samsung testing an “overclocked” setup for internal review? The answer likely depends entirely on the thermal performance the chip delivered during these latest tests. Unfortunately, this data about thermals is unknown for now.

Regardless of the final configuration, the Exynos 2600 is clearly shaping up to be a real powerhouse. The constant improvement in benchmarks shows that Samsung is serious about closing the performance gap with its direct rivals: Qualcomm, Apple, and even Mediatek. So, buyers in regions receiving an Exynos-powered Samsung Galaxy S26 will finally feel they are receiving the same high-end performance as everyone.
