According to company statements and reports, on December 18, 2025, Samsung officially introduced the **Exynos 2600**—the industry’s first mobile application processor built on a 2nm gate-all-around (GAA) process—and is now in mass production.
This chipset integrates a powerful CPU, NPU, and GPU for better on-device AI and gaming. Samsung claims up to 39% improvement in CPU performance and 113% improvement in generative AI tasks compared to the previous generation, resulting in faster intelligent editing and assistant features.
A 10-core CPU (based on Arm v9.3 architecture) and advanced thermal management (heat path block that reduces resistance by 16%) promise consistent performance. It supports cameras up to 320MP, 4K/120Hz displays, and post-quantum cryptography.
Expected to power some Galaxy S26 models (probably the S26/S26+ in regions like Korea/Europe, along with Snapdragon variants), the Exynos 2600 reflects Samsung’s emphasis on in-house silicon efficiency. The Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in late January or early February 2026. The earlier teaser had created a lot of hype, with leaks suggesting that it would have competitive multi-core power and an AMD-based GPU. Details are still incomplete until the full benchmarks are available.
