There has been a confusing development regarding the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, which will be introduced early next year. As it is known, it was claimed that the entire series would be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. In fact, it was said that the company made such a decision because it was experiencing some difficulties in the production of its own Exynos 2500 chipset. However, recent developments show the exact opposite.
Galaxy S25+ in performance test with Exynos 2500
Galaxy S25+ appeared in the Geekbench database with model number SM-S936B. The smartphone managed to get 2 thousand 359 points in single-core tests and 8 thousand 141 points in multi-core tests. This development can be interpreted as the South Korean brand not completely giving up on Exynos 2500.
Exynos 2500, which powers the prototype put into testing, has clock speeds of up to 3.3 GHz and adopts a 10-core CPU architecture. However, it packs Samsung’s Xclipse 950 GPU.
So, is there any performance difference between Exynos 2500 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processors? According to Geekbench data, it is stated that Samsung’s processor is far behind Qualcomm’s chip in single-core, but shows a similar performance in multi-core.
To compare, Galaxy S25 Ultra with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor managed to get 3 thousand 96 points in single-core and 9 thousand 80 points in multi-core in previous performance tests.
Considering all these developments above, we can say that Samsung has not given up on its own production Exynos 2500 chipset and can use it in the new series. However, unfortunately, we do not know which hardware will be the majority, and we will most likely see it at the launch event at the beginning of 2025.
