As Samsung prepares its Exynos 2400 for a possible announcement in the near future, we have stumbled across new information surrounding the Exynos 2500, which is said to be the company’s Dream Team chip that is said to be tested behind closed doors. A new update claims that the SoC features four high-performance Cortex-X cores, making it a lethal combination for the competition.

New configuration will also feature Cortex-A cores for less demanding tasks

The Exynos 2500, at its current stage, features four Cortex-X5 cores operating at different clock speeds, according to @OreXda. On Twitter, the tipster provides the CPU cluster of the Dream Team chipset, stating that one Cortex-X5 will be clocked between 3.20GHz and 3.30GHz, while the remaining three Cortex-X5 cores will run in the 2.30GHz-2.50GHz range. The remaining configuration will comprise of Cortex-A730 and Cortex-A520 cores, both of which are unreleased designs from ARM.

There is not a ton of information known about the Exynos 2500 other than Samsung is in the middle of developing a chipset that may help clear the company’s name for coming up with successive disappointing chipset launches. This Dream Team SoC is also rumored to feature Samsung’s custom GPU, which is rumored to be made using IP from AMD, but at this time, we have no information on what it will be called or what its specifications are.

Previous rumors stated that the Exynos 2500 is still two years away, meaning that we will not see it before the Galaxy S25 unveiling. During that time, Qualcomm is said to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which will be the first from the company to sport the firm’s in-house Oryon cores that was made possible with the Nuvia acquisition. From what we have gathered, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 touts higher multi-threaded performancethan Apple’s M2, so we expect the Exynos 2500 to perform similarly.

Looking at the supposed launch timeline, Samsung could take advantage of its second-generation 3nm GAA process to mass produce this Dream Team chip, but at this time, treat the rumored specifications with a pinch of salt until we have a solid lead in the future.
