With the introduction of the Exynos 2500 chipset next year, Samsung will have a big leap forward in AI applications. This information was revealed by well-known Connor/콘어/コナー. Following the models Samsung has worked with major manufacturers, the chipset will incorporate a Google-designed Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), similar to the AMD-designed GPUs used in its flagship chips
TPU has been a cornerstone of Google’s AI program for years and plays a key role in the development of the Pixel phone and Tensor chipsets in collaboration with Samsung among others This AI accelerator is widely used by Google products, with larger versions available for download through Google Cloud so for AI effort.
Speculation suggests that the Exynos 2500, possibly debuting with the Galaxy S25 series, leverages Google’s TPU for faster AI, thus allowing access to Google’s machine learning APIs for on-device model execution This development is important because current Galaxy AI functions are cloud-based on . depends largely on performance, emphasizing the need for advanced AI acceleration.
As Connor reveals, the flagship Exynos 2500 chipset contains two Neural Processing Units (NPUs) – G-NPU and S-NPU – the “G”-variant, which stands for “General”, which is a fixed-function a integrated in Exynos chips from the 2200 series. means it is better compared to the NPU
Recent reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 series may feature Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chips, deviating from earlier rumors. Qualcomm’s AI acceleration efforts, exemplified by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which can run models with more than 10 billion parameters, offer an alternative to Google’s TPU and yet can adjust the odds using Android’s machine learning API.
The leaked information suggests that the Exynos 2500 will be built on Samsung’s second generation 3nm node (3nm gap/sf3). It is expected to feature a Cortex-X5 clocked at 3.2GHz, three A730 cores operating at 2.3-2.5GHz, additional A730 cores with lower clock speeds and four A520 cores
While information about the Xclipse 950 GPU is limited, it promises significant improvements. For comparison, the Tensor G4, possibly based on a TPU design, will be built on Samsung’s 4LPP node following a failed negotiation with TSMC. As a result, the Exynos 2500 is expected to deliver better productivity and efficiency, especially in the AI industry, where Google has traditionally excelled.
