JAKARTA - A report from South Korean media revealed that Samsung is preparing to mass-produce the latest generation chipset, Exynos 2600. This move is considered an important Samsung effort to reclaim its position in the premium smartphone segment after facing challenges in the semiconductor division. The chip has also emerged in benchmark tests, showing increased performance over its predecessors.

The Exynos 2600 is thought to be the first mobile chip produced using Samsung's 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) process, marking a technological milestone for the company. Preliminary reports mentioned an increase in production results compared to previous efforts in the 3nm process, with production said to be running as planned.

The main feature of this platform is the introduction of Heat Pass Block technology, which is designed to address the overheating problem that often interferes with previous generation Exynos chips. This cooling solution can be key to changing perceptions about Exynos performance and stability.

Based on the results of tests on Geekbench, the main core of Exynos 2600 is capable of reaching speeds of up to 3.8GHz. This chip has three performance cores operating up to 3.26GHz and six other cores running at 2.76GHz.

Samsung's Strategy For Galaxy S26

According to industry sources, the Exynos 2600 will most likely be used on several Galaxy S26 models, depending on the market area, while other models may remain using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This dual-chip strategy allows Samsung to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm while at the same time demonstrating progress in its chip development.

The Galaxy S26 family is scheduled to launch in early 2026. The presence of Exynos 2600 could play an important role in Samsung's efforts to strengthen its semiconductor division position and compete with rivals using TSMC's 2nm technology, which will enter mass production by the end of 2025.
