The Exynos 2600 will power the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+, at least in some regions. This is Samsung’s first 2nm GAA chip, promising significant improvements over the Exynos 2500. While we’re yet to see the full potential of the SoC in action, details regarding its successor have now come our way . A new leak claims Exynos 2700 will arrive with a sweet performance boost, improved thermals, LPDDR6 RAM, and so much more.
The chip may leverage Samsung’s SF2P process
The key hardware details of the hardware have surfaced on X . As per the leak, the Exynos 2700 bears the internal codename ‘Ulysses.’ The chip may leverage Samsung’s SF2P process, which is its second-generation 2nm process. The new SF2P process is expected to yield a 12% hike in gross performance and a 25% reduction in the overall energy consumption relative to the previous-gen SF2 node. The process could allow the prime core to have a clock speed of 4.20GHz compared to the 3.90Hz highest clocked frequency in the Exynos 2600 chip.
Furthermore, the Exynos 2700 chip could leverage ARM Cortex-C2 cores, resulting in an IPC gain of around 35%. With the prime core ticking at 4.20GHz, the leak claims the single-core Geekbench 6 cores could reach 4,800, and the multi-core may touch 15,000. It’s worth noting that these are just early estimates. These scores apparently represent jumps of 40% and 30%, respectively, over the Exynos 2600.
Exynos 2700 may feature improved thermals, LPDDR6 RAM & UFS 5.0 storage
The leak adds that the Exynos 2700 could use FOWLP-SbS (Side-by-Side) packaging technology. The latter uses a unified Health Path Block (copper-based heat sink) for DRAM and AP. This allows an efficient heat dissipation process, considering the HPB covers the entirety of the AP.
The Exynos 2700 chip could use the Xclipse GPU, which will also benefit from the faster LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage. Data transfers will apparently be 80%-100% faster than Exynos 2600. The faster data flow means a real performance boost of 30%-40%. The LPDDR6 supports a throughput of up to 14.4Gbps. Wrapping things up, the leak claims that Exynos 2700 will prioritize systemic performance. The jumps in bandwidth of LPDDR6 and UFS 5.0 could enable the GPU and CPU to operate at a high load with stability.
Considering we’re still many months away from the actual announcement, there could be a change in things. But for now, the Exynos 2700 looks to be a solid contender. The chip may power Samsung’s next year’s flagship, presumably the Galaxy S27 .
