Samsung has just launched its Galaxy S25 series globally, featuring the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Last year, the company faced significant challenges in maintaining a seamless chipset manufacturing process. Issues in both organizational structure and fabrication led to speculation that Samsung might shut down its flagship chipset division entirely.
However, the company managed to recover, and rumors about its upcoming Exynos 2500 chipset have been circulating since last year. Initially, there were reports that Samsung intended to use this chipset in the S25 series, but production yield issues prevented this.
Later, leaks suggested that Samsung plans to debut the Exynos 2500 in the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7. This information was supported by a series of leaks in December 2024. Now, a tipster named Jukanlosreve has shared further details on X (formerly Twitter), revealing the architecture and key specifications of the chipset.
According to the leak, the Exynos 2500 will feature a 10-core CPU, similar to the Exynos 2400 but with a new 1+2+5+2 configuration. The CPU will include one Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.3GHz for peak performance, two Cortex-A725 cores running at 2.75GHz for demanding tasks, five Cortex-A725 cores at 2.36GHz for balanced performance, and two Cortex-A520 cores at 1.8GHz to maximize energy efficiency.
The chipset will also integrate Samsung’s new Xclipse 950 GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA3.5 architecture. This GPU features eight custom Work Group Processors running at 1.3GHz, promising significant improvements in graphics and computing performance.
Samsung is pairing this chipset with high-performance memory and storage solutions, including 9.6Gbps quad-channel LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.x storage for ultra-fast data access. The Exynos 2500 will also include an NPU capable of 56 TOPS, support for a 320MP ISP, and the ability to record 8K videos at 60fps. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is unlikely to feature such high-resolution cameras.
Expected to launch in late 2025, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is positioned as a flagship testbed for Samsung’s 3nm GAA manufacturing process. With a limited production run of just 3 million units, the foldable device will serve as a proving ground for Samsung Foundry’s advanced node capabilities. If successful, the Exynos 2500 could mark a significant resurgence for Samsung in the premium chipset market. Whether it can compete with the Dimensity 9400 or Snapdragon 8 Elite remains to be seen.
