A leak by tipster Ice Universe for Samsung’s upcoming flagship processor, the Exynos 2600, has surfaced. Set to power the Galaxy S26 series in 2026, the new chipset represents Samsung’s move to using the 2nm manufacturing process.
Samsung Exynos 2600 Leak
According to reports, the Exynos 2600 will feature a high-performance CPU architecture led by a “prime core” clocked at 3.9GHz. This clock speed marks a significant jump over current generations.
Another detail that has leaked is the inclusion of the “Juno” GPU, which was developed in collaboration with AMD. This next-generation graphics processor is expected to use AMD’s latest architecture, promising desktop-class gaming features and advanced ray-tracing capabilities for mobile users.
The shift to 2nm technology is not just about speed, but it also focuses heavily on efficiency. Early data indicate the 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) node could offer up to a 25% improvement in power efficiency compared to previous 3nm designs. This could finally resolve the thermal and battery life issues that have haunted other Exynos-powered models.
As Samsung ramps up production, the Exynos 2600 is poised to be a formidable challenger to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Apple’s A19 Pro. If these leaked specs hold, the Galaxy S26 may well be the device that restores the Exynos brand to its former glory.
