A leaked Exynos 2700 die shot has revealed plenty of details about the new flagship Android chipset.
The processor could have a deca-core CPU consisting of two C2 Ultra big cores and eight C2 Pro medium cores.
We’ve also got an Xclipse 970 GPU and what looks like a huge NPU, with the latter hinting at improved AI performance.
Samsung is expected to use both the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and the in-house Exynos 2700 chipset in the Galaxy S27 phones . We’ve already heard a few rumors about the Exynos 2700, but a massive new leak may have revealed all the major specs.
SemiAnalysis on X (thanks, Dylan H!) posted a die shot of the Exynos 2700, giving us a look at what could be the actual chipset. The outlet also labeled the processor, revealing major details in the process. Check out the image below.
The annotated die shot reveals that the Exynos 2700 has a deca-core CPU featuring unannounced Arm CPU cores. Expect one C2 Ultra core clocked at 4.24GHz, one C2 Ultra clocked at 3.36GHz, four C2 Pro cores running at 3.74GHz, and four C2 Pro cores at 2.88GHz. We’ve also got a substantial 24MB of system-level cache and what looks like 16MB of L3 cache. Either way, this 4.24GHz clock speed falls short of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, let alone its successor’s 5GHz peak speeds.
By contrast, the Exynos 2600 had a deca-core CPU featuring just one C1 Ultra core clocked at 3.8GHz, three C1 Pro cores at 3.25GHz, and six C1 Pro cores running at 2.75GHz. It’s particularly interesting to see two big cores with different peak clock speeds on the new chip. In fact, the second big core has a lower clock speed than one of the C2 Pro clusters. For what it’s worth, Qualcomm generally uses two big CPU cores with identical clock speeds in its flagship processors.
