Leaked Samsung Exynos 2500 specs suggests an incremental upgrade

This year’s Samsung Galaxy S24 series comes with an Exynos 2400 chipset if you live outside the US. In 2025, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S25 where they will most likely equip it with a newer chipset, the Exynos 2500. If you’re wondering how the chipset will perform, then you’re in luck.

User @OreXda has posted on X the leaked specs of the upcoming chipset. We don’t know for sure if these specs are accurate, but assuming they are, it won’t be too big of a difference over the Exynos 2400.

X5 MP1 : 3.3GHz~3.2GHz
A730 MP3 : 2.5GHz~2.3GHz
A730 MP2: ?GHz~?GHz
A520 MP4: ?GHz~?GHz https://t.co/FkgK2TNh9u

Samsung will be maintaining the deca-core design. The cores used will undergo changes, upgrading the main core from X4 to X5 with the potential of slightly faster clock speeds of 3.3GHz. The other cores include three Cortex-A730 cores clocked at 2.5GHz, two Cortex-A730 cores, and four Cortex-A520 cores.

For context, the Exynos 2400 features a Cortex-X4 core, Cortex-A720 cores, and Cortex-A520 cores. This means that the Samsung Exynos 2500 will be keeping the A520 cores. One other potential difference is that the Exynos 2500 will be built on the 3nm process.

It is anticipated to surpass TSMC’s 3nm process in terms of area and efficiency, but we’ll need to wait for the benchmarks to gain a better idea.
