Overview

  • Samsung has begun mass production of the Exynos 2600 on its SF2 2nm GAA process, which is cited as delivering about 12% higher performance and roughly 25% better power efficiency versus SF3.
  • Yields are reportedly around 50%, with wafer fab-out expected in late October or early November following the recent wafer input.
  • The new chip is slated for only one Galaxy S26 variant, reportedly the base Galaxy S26 Pro model.
  • Regional plans point to Exynos-powered units for South Korea and Europe, with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 models expected in the U.S. and China.
  • The Exynos 2600 reportedly combines Arm C1 CPU cores with an AMD RDNA-based GPU, while separate reports about Qualcomm adopting TSMC’s N2P for future Elite chips remain unverified.
