Leaked Exynos 2600 Prototype Shows Big Efficiency Gains, M5-Level Single-Core

Leaked prototype Geekbench numbers lack independent verification, with reported 2nm yield challenges raising questions about near‑term availability.

Overview

  • An engineering sample reportedly completed Geekbench 6 multi‑core at about 7.6W board power, undercutting the Apple A19 Pro’s reported 12.1W.
  • Another leak lists a single‑core score of 4,217 and multi‑core of 13,482, matching or nearing Apple’s M5 in single‑core while trailing it in multi‑core.
  • The cited Geekbench entry showed clocks up to 4.20GHz on the fastest core with a 1+3+6 layout, though the listing may have been removed and remains unverified.
  • Reports attribute the efficiency gains to Samsung’s 2nm GAA process, even as earlier coverage flagged roughly 50% yields that could constrain production.
  • Rumors point to Exynos 2600 appearing in some Galaxy S26 variants as early as 2026, with broader conclusions pending independent testing on retail hardware.
