Following performance and efficiency testing of the Exynos 2400, details have emerged about its successor, the Samsung Exynos 2500 (aka Samsung Dream chip). According to reports, this upcoming processor will maintain the 10-core CPU architecture of its predecessor and introduce a new Cortex-X5 core.
Contrary to earlier rumors suggesting the Samsung Exynos 2500 was testing a quad-core Cortex-X architecture. The latest information reveals that Samsung is experimenting with various core combinations. The decision to stick with the 10-core CPU architecture of the Exynos 2400 is based on concerns about excessive power consumption that could result from using too many Cortex-X cores.
It’s essential to note that, despite the minimal clock frequency difference between the Cortex-X5 and Cortex-X4. The test frequency ranges between 3.20GHz and 3.30GHz. The final product may see only minor improvements or no difference at all, depending on Samsung’s ultimate decision.
Additionally, sources suggest that the Exynos 2500 will incorporate dual Cortex-A730 clusters running at different clock frequencies. The low-power core segment is anticipated to incorporate the Cortex-A520 core model, with the exact frequency still undisclosed.
The manufacturing process information suggests that Samsung is likely to mass-produce the Exynos 2500 chip using its most advanced 3nm GAA process. Moreover, the technology is not yet used in any smartphone or tablet chips.
Additionally, the Exynos 2400 uses a 4LPP+ process, so it’s logical that the Exynos 2500 uses a more advanced process. Currently, the Exynos 2400 performs well in the 3DMark benchmark. So we look forward to Samsung further improving performance in the next generation.
