Samsung's Exynos 2700 promises a brutal leap in power and the end of Snapdragon dominance

Samsung's mobile processor strategy is entering a new phase. According to information revealed by a source named "Kaulenda", the Exynos 2700 will be built on an improved SF2P node, which brings a 12% increase in raw performance and a 25% reduction in power consumption compared to its predecessor. The most powerful cores will reach frequencies of up to 4.2 GHz, which is significantly higher than the 3.8 GHz of the Exynos 2600 model.

Innovation doesn’t just stop at core speed. Samsung is introducing a new copper heatsink (HPB) cooling technology in a special FOWLP-SbS package, where the system DRAM is placed directly next to the processor core under a common heatsink. This design drastically improves heat dissipation and stability under long-term loads. On the graphics front, the new Xclipse GPU will take advantage of the upcoming LPDDR6 and UFS 5.0 standards, which are expected to deliver up to a 40 percent graphics performance improvement.

According to early Geekbench scores, the Exynos 2700 could achieve 40 percent better results in single-core and 30 percent in multi-core tests. While this year's S26 Ultra series in Europe will likely still be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor (which would be priced around €140 to €180 in retail as a separate component), the S27 series could be the one to put Exynos back on the global map in full glory.
