Also, somehow Exynos fanboys are happy that their new gen E2600 using Samsung's most cutting edge node, barely beats a D9500 and gets matched by a 8EliteGen5 using an older 3nm node. Lmfao
Exynos fanboys are always happy with mediocrity

Samsung should fix the CPU scheduling on Exynos 2700, based from previous test Samsung doesn't properly distribute the load on it's 10core cpu leaving core 7-9 running wild while other available cores does nothing at all resulting in higher power draw thus leaving its multi core effeciency advantage on paper only, and never translate irl performance causing unstable frame rate higher thermals,10core cpu configuration is not common in mobile it has major advantage overall but Exynos 2600 proves that if not utilized effeciently it becomes useless.
Samsung has two options either go back to 8core cpu configuration for better compatibility or commit to 10core design fix scheduling same with developers for future advantage.
Samsung's CPU scheduling is intended, not broken
What the fuck is in your mind that 10 cores have to work full time all the time every time
And who said unstable frame rates and worse stability
The Exynos 2600 literally shows better stability to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
You definitely feel to a bias where cooler=more stable and warmer=less stable
The Exynos 2600 is shedding it's heat like every other processor out there
A warmer thermal doesn't mean inefficiency automatically, the processor is literally working as intended
The 2nm node is efficient, the 10 core designed has almost nothing to do
You are not saying facts, you are searching what to blame on a problem that doesn't even exist by standards
Who the fuck said they should fix their 10 core scheduling
You don't sound smart at all, in fact
you sound like a total idiot falling into straight bias if you ask me
You and all those Exynos haters fall into total bias and say it's reality
Worse clockspeeds as well vs the D9500 which uses the same cores on an older node
That tells you the quality of the Samsung 2NM Node. Its inferior to even the last gen 3NM TSMC node.
They cant push clockspeeds as high, throttles more aggressively in games, barely beats the older 8Elite in efficiency.
Truly a laughable 2NM mode.
Someone, Of course it will perform better than an 8 Elite. The 8 Elite is almost 2 years old.
But you fail to realize that the laughable part is that it barely beats/or even loses in REAL WORLD usage vs the 8 elite. Go check my comment below that uses data from Geekerwan.
In gaming, the 2600 at some point gets even trashed by the 8Gen3. The 2600 only looks good in benchmarks.
Now get out

Toylet, Performs better doesn't mean it's beating your SNAPDRAGON common you even think that your SD is better than Apple Silicon stop worshipping them they're good and that's it
And by the way 2600 and DIMENSITY 9500 utilize same generation CPU(of course you don't know that) plus 9500 uses higher Premium cores which is not present on 2600 despite that Exynos still has higher IPC than Dimensity (based on Geejkerwan by the way) and you forgot to mention that based on their test Xclipse GPU is not running it's full potential due to LPDDR5X constraints it's too slow to bring out it's potential and yes it's true that Exynos has neglected effeciency also Samsung 2nm actually has higher density than Intel's 18A sub1.8nm but it's also true that Exynos didn't get royalty for optimization and Geekerwan concluded that Exynos is a very good improvement by Samsung and a sign of recovery from Exynos/ Samsung Foundry and take note this is not my opinion but it came from your very source (@Geekerwan)

Toylet, Look what we have here a Snapdragon Fanboy, Geekerwan is such reliable reviewer that they compare beyond benchmark but at microscopic level even comparing the process node itself they even emphasize the strength and weakness of each but someone was already barking at one side
Someone, You are glazing the 2nm Exynos 2600 while completely forgetting the massive elephant in the room called Xring O3
Xiaomi is able to push the clockspeeds higher especially on the O3's C1 Ultra with their 3nm node than Samsung's 2nm node on their E2600's C1 Ultra.
It barely beats a D9500 in multi core, and gets matched by a SD 8EliteGen5 both of which have older nodes. You are really proud that Samsung's LATEST and most CUTTING EDGE node barely even beats an older node? Are exynos fanboys always happy with mediocrity lol?
And dont bring up Xclipse using LPDDR5X because let me ask you, WHO chose LPDDR5X to be used? Its samsung themselves, the same company that you are glazing.
Also you are bragging about IPC, but it barely beats the D9500 with a newer node and loses to the same C1 Ultra on FP testing on SPEC2017. And lets not even forget the O3 mogging it very hard
Someone, Bro, it barely beats in D9500 and its weaker node in SPEC2017 Integer test, and loses to it in Floating Point SPEC2017 test, remember, its Samsung's 2nm node vs TSMC's 3nm node.
And lets not even talk about the Xring O3 because it will absolutely embarrass the E2600 while also using an older node
And lets also not forget the absolutely embarrassing real life performance in terms of gaming and battery life where it still falls completely flat vs the D9500 and 8EGen6
One of the worst chipsets in terms of overall capability vs technology used
Uses a node that is 1 gen newer...but as per geekerwan, has Bottom 4 performance in battery life and loses to the 8 Elite in Genshin and loses to the 8Gen3 in WuWa and Arknights Endfield. So its also terrible for gaming

Anonymous, Copium, Exynos sucks. Its using a node thats smaller than the others but it LOSES in gaming to the 8 Elite. Geekerwan has already tested it
Anonymous, What are you smoking?
In Geekerwan's test, the 2600 loses to the even older SD8Gen3 in some games
Genshin Impact - Loses to both 8Elite/8Gen5
E2600 - 59.4FPS @ 5.2Watts
8Gen3 - 57.9FPS @ 5.9Watts
8Elite - 59.9FPS @ 4.9Watts
8EliteGen5 - 59.9FPS @ 4.5Watts
AK Endfield - loses in FPS to even the 8Gen3
E2600 - 35.2FPS @ 5.4Watts
8Gen3 - 36.4FPS @ 6.4Watts
8Elite - 48.6FPS @ 6.4Watts
8EliteGen5 - 48.1FPS @ 5.8Watts
Wuthering Waves - loses again to the 8Gen3 LMFAO
E2600 - 43.3FPS @ 5Watts
8Gen3 - 45.6FPS @ 6.4Watts
8Elite - 50.5FPS@ 5Watts
8EliteGen5 - 57.4FPS @ 5.9Watts
Battery Life - BOTTOM 4 in the list, one of the worst

Good on paper, but nightmare for app cpu core scaling
Serhii, Memory Bus 2x 32 Bit -> 4x 16 Bit
Thanks to a higher resolution die shots, its 2x (2x16) memory channels rather than 2x 32 bit memory channels.
Joe, Joe, why did you list FP16 calculations? Every other SoC is listed with FP32. The score looks artificially high in comparison.

Efficiency is really good. Battery score should be ~ 93, no exaggeration. This is at least as efficient as SD 8 Elite. Battery life on S26 is pretty impressive.
Battery life is not impressive, its bottom 4 in Geekerwan's test.
Efficiency is "Good on paper", until you realize the 8Elite uses a node that is 1-2 gens older, that means the E2600 isnt as efficient as you think it is.
And its 100% obvious on gaming test where it always falls behind the 8 Elite and even the 8Gen3 is Geekerwan's test

Sorry button it very much wipes the floor with 8eg5 (nice 11w per prime core lol) and the d9500 in gaming. The hpb is a master class in phone design, even if peak cpu speed is behind both of those, it can at least sustain clocks to a relevant degree, unlike the two others. Shame samsung signs away exynos relevancy every year with qc "minimum soc sales".
Genuinely throwing away any advantage foundries and design gets them.

I hope SAMSUNG maintain this mindset Stability over Raw performance, current Qualcomm is too powerful but also unstable, uncontrollable every year they're chasing higher frequency the truth is the limited cooling system on smartphones can no longer handle its power the more power also comes more heat i think apple realize this and instead of chasing higher frequency they choose over architecture improvements and i think that's the best course for smartphones currently they have so much power but it's rarely to see that someone actually utilize its peak performance even if someone does its generating so much heat that the full potential is only utilized for limited time, and im glad Samsung didn't force to chase SD, Exynos finally serious on fixing their weakness and instead of chasing raw performance they choose Stability, Thermal solutions, sustained performance from 2400 being a decent chip i think 2600 is a good chip, well yes of course on raw performance Exynos trails behind Snapdragon but when it comes to sustained performance thats where Exynos shines now i have high expectations on 2700, i expect to be more mature, polished, stable
ngl, still far better and ahead than Google Pixelโs Tensor chip. best chip.. hope they will put this on upcoming S26fe series as well on a budget. Good chip tho. samsung is doing great these days. finally its matching with 8 Elites. Hope they will put step Further ahead to like Mediatek as well
3.5m for a exynos aint bad anyways. But that surpass only the 8 elite

In reality AnTuTu doesn't even make sense, Geekbench is more practical in some ways it's actually biased to Chinese brands and for no reason the score dramatically increase in every new version they released even the old SoC who doesn't receive an update nor optimization get some score boost

According to my thoughts they always change the rating after the SoC release and tested by all public.

some child dont know what is the meaning of efficiency
I am waiting for the release of the Exynos 2600. I hope it performs as well as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in demanding games like Wuthering Waves. Ideally, the FPS will remain stable at 60 FPS even when temperatures reach 44โ46ยฐC. Since it features a Heat Path Block (HPB), the FPS should only begin to throttle moderately once it hits 47ยฐC or 48ยฐC.
if they manage to pull a great efficent SoC this might be clear up for the Exynos name. but it will be revealed in real world tests. (the only downside Gpu is weak compared to its rivals).

Knowing Samsung, they probably will still use the same trash 5000mah battery(not Sic) and oneui unoptimized software so s26 is still going to have bad battery life just like with s25
