Today, Samsung released its quarterly financial report, which showed that its semiconductor division suffered greatly, resulting in a more than 50% decline in total operating income. The company’s upcoming Exynos 2600 chip, which will be manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process, is a bright spot despite the poor financial results. When it launches alongside the Galaxy S26 series, it will be the first 2nm chipset on the market.

Exynos 2600 will be the first flagship chipset fabricated on the latest 2nm GAA process [via Samsung Foundry]… 2600 offers a significant improvement in NPU performance versus the prior version with enhanced support for on-device AI functionality.

Also, Samsung announced that the 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process will be used to fabricate its next Exynos 2600 chipset.

A leaked Geekbench listing claims that the Exynos 2600 will have a ten-core CPU, similar to the Exynos 2500, but with a different core configuration.

Exynos 2600 will have a 1+3+6 design, according to the listing, with a single prime core clocked at 3.55 GHz, three performance cores operating at 2.96 GHz, and six efficiency units operating at 2.46 GHz. The Xclipse 960 GPU, which will accompany the CPU, is anticipated to provide up to 15% more performance than the Adreno 830 found in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge are anticipated to sport the Exynos 2600, while the S26 Ultra is likely to continue with Qualcomm’s top Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
