Exynos 2500 Testing Underway, New Rumor Claims Samsung’s Upcoming SoC Outperforms Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 In CPU, GPU Categories
Samsung is rumored to be laser-focused on continuing a dual-chipset approach with the Galaxy S25 launch next year by introducing both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Exynos 2500 variants in several markets. According to the latest rumor, the company has supposedly commenced testing of its upcoming SoC, and according to the latest development, it is faster than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both the CPU and GPU categories.

Also, given that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s alleged single-core and multi-core results are out in the open, where it apparently obtained a 46 percent uplift over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and was practically competing with Apple’s M3 chipsets, the Exynos 2500 was not compared with
