The recent performance and efficiency tests of the Exynos 2400 processor have just appeared, and detailed data about the next-generation Exynos 2500 processor (or Samsung Dream processor) has appeared online.
The latest information shows that the Exynos 2500 processor will continue to use the 10-core CPU architecture of the Exynos 2400 processor and introduce a new Cortex-X5 core.
X5 MP1: 3.3GHz~3.2GHz
A730 MP3: 2.5GHz~2.3GHz
A730 MP2: ?GHz~?GHz
A520 MP4: ?GHz~?GHz https://t.co/FkgK2TNh9u— Connor / Connor (@OreXda) January 21, 2024
Previous rumors indicated that the Exynos 2500 was testing the quad-core Cortex-X architecture. However, recent whistleblower @OreXda said that Samsung is testing a different core combination because too many Cortex-X cores may cause power consumption to be out of control, so the 10-core CPU architecture of the Exynos 2500 will be consistent with the Exynos 2400.
The upgrade of Exynos 2500 is the use of Cortex-X5 and Cortex-A730 cores. Compared with the Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 used in Exynos 2400, the performance will be significantly improved. It is worth mentioning that the clocks of Cortex-X5 and Cortex-X4 are basically the same, and the test frequency is between 3.20GHz and 3.30GHz.
In addition, it is speculated that the Exynos 2500 will use dual Cortex-A730 clusters, running different clocks, somewhat similar to the design of the Exynos 2400. The low-power core of the processor is likely to still use the same Cortex-A520, and the specific frequency has not yet been disclosed.
The Samsung Exynos 2500 processor is likely to be mass-produced using the most advanced 3nm GAA process. This technology is not currently used in any smartphones or tablets. It is more advanced than the 4LPP+ process used in the Exynos 2400 and is worth looking forward to.
