If Samsung can improve the yield of the Exynos 2500 AP, there is a chance that the component can be used with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 next summer. And we should point out that the Exynos 2500 is a greatly improved application processor compared to older Exynos semiconductors. The Exynos 2500 has 10 CPU cores including:
- 1 Cortex-X5 Prime Core running as fast as 3.2GHz.
- 3 Cortex-A730 Performance-Efficiency cores with a clock speed up to 2.5GHz.
- 2 Cortex-A730 Performance-Efficiency cores with a clock speed of up to 2.5 GHz.
- 4 Cortex-A520 Efficiency cores running with a clock speed as fast as 2.2GHz.
Right now the big issue Samsung has with the Exynos 2500 is finding a way to increase the yield of the chip. Until that happens, Samsung might have to consider using the Dimensity 9400 AP instead of the Exynos 2500 or stick with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for all Galaxy S25 series models. If it had its druthers, we believe that Samsung would prefer to use the Exynos 2500 AP to power most Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ models.
