The Exynos 2500 is rumored to be testing in two versions with different numbers of CPU cores, plus other promising improvements with a focus on AI.
The Exynos 2500 chip will reportedly join the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in powering Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series, split across regions next year.
However, it appears that the company is considering the possibility of differentiate further its next flagship SoC.
According to a tipster, tests are currently underway on two versions of the processor, with one of the two reportedly featuring a higher core count than the other.
Additionally, a new tip indicates that the Exynos 2500 could take advantage of the Google TPU to accelerate the performance of artificial intelligence.
This hypothesis could lead to significant AI-related improvements in Galaxy S25 devices, offering users a pleasant surprise.
Double launch, double Exynos
According to @OreXda, two versions of the Exynos 2500 are currently being tested: one with an 8-core CPU and the other with a 10-core configuration.
While there are no details on the clusters yet, the 10-core version could include Cortex-X5, with frequencies between 3.20 GHz and 3.30 GHz.
In a subsequent posting, the same informant hypothesized that the 8-core variant could power Samsung's Galaxy S smartphone series, while the more powerful one could be destined for the Korean giant's Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Book product line.
As for the 8-core version, it is suggested that Samsung may follow MediaTek's approach with its Dimensity 9300.
This would mean a “4+4” configuration for the Exynos 2500, with only high-performance coresoffering significant improvements in multicore over the Exynos 2400 at the cost of lower power efficiency and potentially higher temperatures during regular use.
The accuracy of this information remains within the margins of speculation, but Samsung now seems determined to follow the path of reducing dependence on Qualcomm and to concentrate on the development of its own chipsets.
However, it will need time to rebuild its reputation, “stained” by negative consumer reactions to previous Exynos launches.
Designed not to disappoint
While the AI in Galaxy devices is already powerful, it is primarily cloud-based.
However, with the addition of a dedicated TPU in the chipset, the AI capabilities would become further enhanced, which would definitely be a plus.
The Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) made its first appearance in Pixel 6 along with the launch of the first generation of the Tensor processor, and over the last two years it has continued to evolve and improve.
Given that the Tensor chipsets are made in collaboration with Samsung, it is reasonable to assume that the Korean company can make efficient use of the same processing unit when it comes to its processor.
If Samsung chose this route and decided to incorporate Google's TPU into the Exynos 2500, it would mean that the Galaxy S25 series could offer Machine learning API integrated can run a wide range of models directly on the device.
Additionally, it appears that the Exynos 2500 will include two neural processing units: one named G-NP and the other S-NPU. At the moment, it is not yet clear which manufacturing process Samsung intends to use to optimize the power profile of the Exynos 2500, but we expect further updates before the launch of the Galaxy S25 series.
