Samsung’s first 2nm GAA chipset, the Exynos 2600, has so far impressed in its latest Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core run, where it obtained scores that matched what the newest flagship SoCs more or less secured. However, there was always that one variable that we discussed to watch out for, which was power consumption. Well, it appears that the Korean giant’s most advanced lithography has turned out to be magic for the Exynos 2600’s efficiency, as it is rumored to produce significantly better results than Apple’s A19 Pro in the aforementioned benchmark.
Previous Geekbench 6 multi-core power consumption of the A19 Pro was said to be 12.1W, making it more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Dimensity 9500; will the Exynos 2600 be crowned the king?
The power consumption data was shared by @SPYGO19726 when the Exynos 2600 prototype was allegedly running Geekbench 6. Interestingly, the single-core and multi-core performance numbers have not been mentioned on the X thread, but we do get some power draw figures. Now, the tipster has outright mentioned that leaks and rumors are subject to change without notice; however, from this angle, the Exynos 2600 appears to be a solid performer in terms of power consumption.
We previously compared Apple’s A19 Pro against the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Dimensity 9500, in which we concluded that, based on the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core results, the newest member of the A-series SoC family exhibited the lowest power draw and, by extension, the best ‘performance per watt’ at 12.1W from the board. In comparison, the Exynos 2600 consumes 7.6W when running the same Geekbench 6 multi-core benchmark, with 3.6W consumed when running the single-core test.
The lower power draw is attributed to reduced leakage, resulting from the Exynos 2600 being fabricated on Samsung’s 2nm GAA process. Additionally, GFXBench is rumored to showcase impressive results, as the silicon consumes just 5.4W when running the GPU-centric benchmark. Compared to the Exynos 2400, the Exynos 2600 appears to have a 30 percent increase in ‘performance per watt’ compared to the older chipset.
While having competition is always a positive outcome, we wish to see if the commercial version of the Exynos 2600 can reproduce the same results. Unfortunately, we have to wait a while for that, but while we remain patient for those results, you can check out our comprehensive rumor roundup to learn more.
