The 10-core Exynos 2500 chip is being tested on the Galaxy S25+ prototype in Geekbench
Samsung continues to test its Exynos 2500 chipset despite production and performance issues.
Here's What We Know
Recently, a Galaxy S25+ prototype with this chip appeared in the Geekbench database. The Exynos 2500 features a 10-core processor where the most powerful core runs at 3.30GHz. However, the benchmark results show that the Exynos 2500 is 37 per cent slower in single-threaded operations and 29 per cent slower in multi-threaded operations compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Despite using advanced 3nm GAA technology, the chipset lags behind the competition.

The Galaxy S25+ tested has 12GB of RAM and runs on Android 15. Overall, the Exynos 2500 can't compete with the Snapdragon 8 Elite or A18 Pro yet, but it outperforms the Google Tensor G4. New testing has shown that Samsung could very well use the new Exynos chip in the S25 lineup in some markets, including Europe.
