Samsung Exynos 2600
Samsung's first 2nm GAA mobile chip pairs a deca-core Armv9.3 CPU with the Xclipse 960 GPU and an on-device NPU with SME2 support, powering the Galaxy S26 with a Heat Path Block thermal design and hardware post-quantum security.
Pros
- Built on Samsung's 2nm GAA process
- Deca-core Armv9.3 CPU with SME2 support for on-device AI
- Xclipse 960 GPU roughly doubles the predecessor's compute performance with ENSS upscaling
- Heat Path Block thermal design cuts thermal resistance up to 16%
- Hardware-backed post-quantum cryptography
Cons
- AnTuTu 11 total trails Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 devices from the same generation
- Samsung has not disclosed modem, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, display, or video-capture specifications
- Limited so far to Galaxy S26 and S26+; the Galaxy S26 Ultra uses Snapdragon instead
