Samsung Exynos 2500 SoC Specifications, Features

The new Exynos 2500 SoC is a 10-core CPU (in a tri-cluster, or 1+7+2 arrangement) that is built using Samsung's 3nm Gate All Around (GAA) process technology and Samsung says the use of fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) improves heat dissipation and allows the chip to deliver better power efficiency.

It comprises one Cortex-X5 core (3.3GHz), two Cortex-A725 cores (2.74GHz), five Cortex-A725 cores (2.36 GHz), and two Cortex-A520 cores (1.8GHz). Samsung says that it can deliver up to 15 percent better CPU performance when compared with the Exynos 2400 chip. It supports LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The Xclipse 950 GPU on the Exynos 2500 features AMD's RDNA 3 architecture, and Samsung says that it delivers up to 28 percent faster frame rates for games with hardware accelerated ray tracing. Meanwhile, the NPU on the Exynos 2500 (with 59 TOPS) offers up to 39 percent better performance when using on-device AI features.

Samsung’s 3nm Exynos 2500 SoC to Get This Major Connectivity Feature

Smartphones equipped with the Exynos 2500 SoC can support up to a 320-megapixel camera sensor, or two cameras (64-megapixel and 32-megapixel). It also supports up to 8K/ 30fps (10-bit HDR) or 4K/ 120fps video recording. The Exynos 2500 supports up to a 4K display (120Hz) or Quad HD+ display (144Hz).
