Samsung announced its new Exynos 2600 processor with a 2nm manufacturing precision and GAA technology, with significant improvements in performance, energy efficiency, and heat management. The processor is based on the Arm v9.3 architecture and offers double graphics performance and advanced artificial intelligence technologies. It is expected to be used in the Galaxy S26 and Z Flip 8 phones, with support for 320-megapixel photography and 8K video.
Samsung officially announced its new flagship Exynos 2600 processor, in a move that the company described as a turning point in the history of the smartphone processor industry, as it is the first system on a chip (SoC) in the world to be manufactured with a precision of 2 nanometers using advanced Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology.
It is the world’s first system-on-a-chip (SoC) manufactured at 2nm using advanced Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology.
Samsung does not view the Exynos 2600 as a traditional annual update, but rather as a completely new generation that is expected to power a number of upcoming Galaxy S26 series phones in select markets.
The company indicated that the move to 2 nanometer manufacturing accuracy opens the door to significant improvements in performance, energy efficiency, and heat management, aspects in which some previous Exynos generations faced criticism compared to prominent competitors such as Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple.
