#Exynos 2600

Samsung may continue its shift toward in-house processors for its foldable lineup, with a new report claiming that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8 will be powered by the Exynos 2600 chipset. The report, originating from South Korea, follows Samsung’s recent unveiling of the Exynos 2600, the company’s first 2nm mobile processor. If confirmed, this would mark the second consecutive year that Samsung equips its Z Flip series with an Exynos processor. The Galaxy Z Flip7 was the first foldable from the company to feature an Exynos chip, using the Exynos 2500, making the reported move to the Exynos 2600 a logical progression. While Samsung has yet to officially confirm chipset details for its 2026 foldables, the report suggests the company is increasingly confident in deploying its latest Exynos processors in high-profile devices, particularly as performance and efficiency improvements narrow the gap with rival chips. Samsung has officially announced the Exynos 2600, marking a major milestone as the world’s first smartphone chip built on a 2nm manufacturing process. Produced using Samsung Foundry’s 2nm GAA technology, the new processor is designed to deliver significantly improved sustained performance, addressing long-standing concerns around heat and throttling in previous Exynos generations. At the core of the Exynos 2600 is a 10-core CPU based on Arm’s v9.3 architecture, featuring one C1 Ultra prime core clocked at 3.8GHz and nine C1 Pro performance cores running at up to 3.25GHz.
