Samsung has officially launched the Exynos 2500, the company's most advanced mobile processor. This product is manufactured on the second-generation 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process. This chip also marks a new step forward in processing, graphics and AI capabilities on mobile devices.

According to information published on the official website, Exynos 2500 uses a 3-cluster CPU architecture, including a high-performance Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.3 GHz, 2 Cortex-A725 cores at 2.74 GHz, 5 A725 cores clocked at 2.36 GHz and 2 power-saving Cortex-A520 cores. CPU performance is improved by about 15% compared to the Exynos 2400 generation.

In terms of graphics, the chip integrates the Xclipse 950 GPU developed with AMD, based on the RDNA 3 architecture. This GPU supports ray tracing, increasing frame rates by up to 28%, providing a smoother experience when playing games or processing heavy images.

Samsung said it has applied fan-shaped wafer packaging (FOWLP) technology, which helps improve heat dissipation while reducing chip thickness, a big advantage in thin and light smartphone design.

The most outstanding feature of Exynos 2500 is its on-device AI processing capability. The chip integrates a 24K MAC NPU with a 2-GNPU + 2-SNPU configuration, reaching a capacity of 590 TOPS (trillions of calculations/second), increasing performance by nearly 40% compared to the previous generation. Users can perform tasks such as real-time text translation, image generation or text summarization without an Internet connection.

In terms of camera, the Exynos 2500 supports single sensors up to 320 MP and dual cameras up to 64 MP. The chip can also process 8K video recorded at 30fps and supports multi-layer noise reduction, helping to improve image quality in complex lighting conditions.

In addition, the Exynos 2500 supports LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, 4K/WQUXGA resolution display at 120 Hz refresh rate. Connectivity is expanded with a 5G modem with a maximum download speed of 12.1 Gbps, satellite network (NTN) support, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and full GNSS positioning.

Samsung has confirmed that the Exynos 2500 chip is in mass production but has not announced the devices that will use this new product. According to predictions, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be the first smartphone equipped with this processor line.

This is a big morale boost for Samsung after the company lost the deal to produce Tensor chips for the Pixel smartphone line. In the context of being assessed as inferior in productivity and design resources compared to rival TSMC, the launch of Exynos 2500 is considered an important step to regain the trust of the market. Samsung hopes the new chip will help improve the image of the outsourcing segment after a series of recent failures.
