It's all great and all, the rumors (actually it's official.. introduction n stuff...), But I am a bit hesitant to get exited knowing it's going to be, as usual, manufactured by Samsung (the nanometer-process).

Hate these people being stuck in 4-5 years ago of exynos like bro, they have been overglazed on what they have done bruh, its 2026 snapdragon shows weaknesses as exynos approaches with new hpb and amd rdna gpu compared to the outdated ati radeon graphics from snapdragon

Also the cpu is 3.8Ghz only, sure it won't give the best raw poinys but will be more than enough for a lot of people It's a combination of a lower 3.8Ghz+2nm node It seems samsung finally dosen't care only about raw power like the 2200 days Yall who don't belive me watch when it rolls out and thank me later

Apple fanboys are cooked For the first time the gpu is now only 985mhz but absolutely packed with compute units, it means not only the 2600 will run cooler but will also be superior in raw gaming And everyone here tryna defend apple eith past exynos stuff Team exynos this time around

Why 10 cores cpu when multi core scores don't have a massive diffrence?
0 Reply
Thesigma January 16, 2026 at 07:50 PM
Its because samsung this time clocked the prime core low compared to other SoC's, but the differnece is tiny and it will be way more efficient, samsung isn't trying to win the short bursts anymore, samsung now plays thr long game, thr onr that proves raw numbers isn't anything

It's Apple custom core unlike Exynos Apple has 100% control over cpu cores, while Samsungs only licensing Vanilla Cores from ARM while they are free to design the combination cores of their SOC the performance is limited to which can ARM provide also Apples custom cores has better IP(instruction per cycle) compared to ARM or even Qualcomms custom Oryon cores

Vinsuck, Remember snap 888 first samsung manufacture 5nm? Remember 8 Gen 1 first samsung manufacture 4nm? Both suck. And all the Exynos from 990 above samsung promise a ton then many hype it a ton then turn out it perform is even worst than midrange chipset. It been proven year by year.

Mark, Really seems like it, the exynos 2400 was a really good step up from the 2200, I don't doubt the 2600 is gonna be anything less than a really decent soc.

Try with the midrange exynos or the s25 with exynos they perform really efficient, and it will be suck if running outdated rather than a apple glazer like you
