Samsung’s Exynos 2700 is reportedly scoring about 13,000 in Geekbench 6.5 multicore, compared with about 11,000 for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, according to The Korea Herald. The report, published on October 25, cites industry sources and says the results come from Samsung’s own testing. The chip is expected to power at least some of the Galaxy S27 models, and most markets are reportedly set to get the Exynos 2700 in the S27 Pro. None of the figures have been independently verified.
| Test | Exynos 2700 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 | Exynos 2700 vs standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 |
| Geekbench 6.5 multicore | About 13,000 vs about 11,000 (roughly 18%) | About 44% higher |
| Geekbench 7 multicore | About 15% higher | About 36% higher |
| Peak graphics test | About 20% higher | Not reported |
| Basic graphics test (3D games) | About 5% higher | Not reported |
The Snapdragon score of about 11,000 comes from the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, while the standard Gen 6 comparison uses the Xiaomi 18 Pro. The headline figure of nearly 20% is a rounding of the 13,000 vs 11,000 gap, which works out to about 18%. The reports don’t name the two graphics tests or give power draw, so the 20% and 5% gaps can’t be read as game performance. A chip can lead one workload and barely edge another, and peak scores say little about how it behaves after 30 minutes of gaming.
Other details come from earlier leaks. The Exynos 2700 is expected to use Samsung’s second-generation 2nm process, SF2P, with a 10-core CPU that swaps the Exynos 2600’s single prime core for two, including an Arm C2-Ultra core at up to 4.24GHz and a C1-Ultra at up to 3.36GHz. It is also tipped to bring the Xclipse 970 GPU, 24MB of system cache, LPDDR6 support and improved Heat Path Block packaging for better thermals. Samsung hasn’t confirmed any of this, though its System LSI chief said in June that development is on track for flagship use.
On the lineup, the Galaxy S27, S27+ and S27 Pro are reportedly expected to use the Exynos 2700 in most countries. Samsung is said to be considering it for the Ultra as well, but that isn’t final, so the Ultra’s processor remains uncertain (see our Galaxy S27 Ultra guide for everything else known about it). Early 2027 is the expected launch window. Efficiency, heat and battery life remain open questions until retail phones are tested.
