Exynos 2600’s Xclipse 960 Outperforms Snapdragon X Elite’s Adreno iGPU in OpenCL Tests

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event is generating buzz around the Exynos 2600 and its remarkable performance levels. This chipset, the first to utilize Samsung’s 2nm GAA process, features the Xclipse 960 GPU, built on a customized AMD RDNA 4 architecture. Recent benchmark results show impressive capabilities.

Exynos 2600 Surpasses Snapdragon X Elite in OpenCL

The Exynos 2600 has outperformed Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite in OpenCL benchmarks. A recent Geekbench 6 test revealed the Exynos 2600 scored 24,964 points, making it 21.8% faster than the Snapdragon X Elite, which scored 20,492.

OpenCL and Vulkan Benchmark Results

While the Exynos 2600 shines in OpenCL tests, results vary with the Vulkan API. In a Vulkan benchmark, the Snapdragon X Elite led with a score of 28,934, compared to the Exynos 2600, whose Vulkan results are yet to be disclosed.

Geekbench 6 OpenCL Results:

Exynos 2600: 24,964 (21.8% faster)
Snapdragon X Elite: 20,492

Geekbench 6 Vulkan Results:

Exynos 2600: Not yet released
Snapdragon X Elite: 28,934 (15% faster)

Improvements in Graphics Processing

Samsung has emphasized enhancements in the Xclipse 960 GPU, such as a 50% boost in ray tracing performance compared to its predecessor, the Xclipse 950 from the Exynos 2500. This advancement positions the Exynos 2600 as a potent contender in the mobile chipset market.

Thermal Management Solutions

Despite the impressive benchmarks, historical challenges with overheating and thermal throttling have plagued the Exynos line. Samsung introduces its Heat Pass Block (HPB) technology, aimed at reducing temperatures by up to 30%. This innovation is gaining interest among other manufacturers.

As the Galaxy S25+ with the model number SM-S947N makes its way to market, fans eagerly await additional details on the Exynos 2600, particularly its performance under different benchmarks like Vulkan.
