Exynos 2700 Beats Snapdragon Chip by 20% in Test, Could Come to Galaxy S27

    Samsung could reportedly switch to its own Exynos 2700 processor for the upcoming Galaxy S27 series. According to the claim, the chip outperformed Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme 6th Gen model in internal tests conducted on the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. Previous rumors linked this switch to an overheating issue. Qualcomm has denied this. Performance is now thought to be the main reason.    The Exynos 2700 scored about 13,000 points in the Geekbench 6.5 multi-core test, which measures the overall speed of processors. Qualcomm’s chip scored about 11,000 points in the same test. As a result, Samsung’s processor was ahead by about 20%. The difference is said to be about 15% in the newer Geekbench 7.0 test.    The Exynos 2700 showed a larger lead over the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite 6th Gen used in the Xiaomi 18 Pro. Its lead was 44% in the Geekbench 6.5 test. In the Geekbench 7.0 test, the chip was 36% ahead of its rival. According to the claim, the Exynos 2700 ran about 20% faster than the Extreme version in graphically demanding games. In standard 3D games, the difference remained at 5%.    Samsung plans to manufacture the Exynos 2700 using its 2nd-generation 2 nm SF2P process. The chip will feature an updated packaging design called HPB. This design should help dissipate heat more effectively and allow the processor to maintain high speeds for longer. However, internal tests do not fully show how much power the chip will consume or how hot it will get in a real smartphone.    The previous Exynos 2600 processor is used in some Galaxy S26 series models and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. If the new results are confirmed, the Galaxy S27 series could ease concerns about the performance of previous Exynos chips. The smartphones are expected to go on sale in early 2027. Until then, independent tests conducted on the final devices will be the key benchmark.
