Samsung Confirms Exynos 2600 with 2nm GAA Tech, 10-Core CPU & Advanced AI Set to Power 2026 Flagships

Samsung has officially confirmed that it is gearing up to launch its next-generation mobile processor, the Exynos 2600, marking a significant step forward in the company’s semiconductor strategy. The announcement came during its Q2 2025 earnings call, where Samsung revealed that mass production will begin by the end of this year. The new processor is expected to debut in the Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26 Pro smartphones, which are anticipated to launch in early 2026.

What sets the Exynos 2600 apart is its construction using Samsung’s advanced 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process technology. This cutting-edge manufacturing method promises notable improvements in power efficiency, performance, and heat management compared to existing 3nm and 4nm designs. By adopting the 2nm GAA process, Samsung is positioning itself to compete more aggressively with industry leaders Qualcomm and Apple in the premium smartphone chip segment.
