The deca-core Exynos 2500 was recently put through a Geekbench benchmark test which revealed the configuration of the application processor (AP). There will be three prime cores in the Exynos 2500 in the form of Arm’s new Cortex-X925 CPU core. These cores will run as fast as 2.59GHz and are the most powerful CPU core currently offered by Arm. The chip will also include five of Arm’s new Cortex-A725 power-efficiency CPU cores running with a clock speed of up to 2.25GHz. Lastly, there will be two Arm Cortex-A520 efficiency CPU cores running as fast as 1.75GHz.

While this sounds like the Exynos 2500 will sport a powerful CPU, keep in mind that the benchmark test was conducted on an Exynos Reference Design (ERD). This is a test platform used by Samsung to test the performance of a chip while it is still in the process of being developed. The ERD is not a mobile phone and the benchmark test doesn’t necessarily indicate that the Exynos 2500 AP will be used on any of the Galaxy S25 series models.
