- A brand new benchmark for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus exhibits it utilizing an Exynos 2500 chipset
- This is at odds with different current leaks, which advised solely the Snapdragon 8 Elite could be used
- The scores achieved on this benchmark are decrease than these for fashions utilizing the Snapdragon 8 Elite
Just because it was beginning to appear to be each Samsung Galaxy S25 mannequin would use a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in all areas, we’re all of a sudden not so positive, as a brand new benchmark lists the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus as utilizing an Exynos 2500 chipset.
Spotted by leaker @Jukanlosreve (by way of NotebookCheck), this Geekbench itemizing moreover mentions 12GB of RAM, and the cellphone right here achieves a single-core results of 2,358 and a multi-core results of 8,211.
For comparability, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus has common Geekbench scores of two,125 and 6,571 for single and multi-core respectively. So, the outcomes for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus are considerably larger, particularly for multi-core, however they’re nonetheless not what we have been hoping to see.
You see, as we famous on the prime of this text, most up-to-date leaks had advised that all the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection would use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset solely, and benchmark outcomes for that mannequin are considerably larger; certainly, a current Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus benchmark (with the 8 Elite chipset) noticed the cellphone obtain a 3,160 single-core end result and a 9,941 multi-core end result.

Secondly, simply because this benchmark is popping up now it doesn’t imply it’s not an previous prototype unit, with a chipset that Samsung has since determined in opposition to utilizing. So, it’s nonetheless completely doable that each Galaxy S25 mannequin will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
And thirdly, even when a chipset break up is deliberate, it’s doubtless – primarily based each on leaks and previous type – that Samsung will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite in all Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra fashions. So, should you purchase the highest cellphone, you’ll nonetheless in all probability have the ability to get the highest chipset, wherever you might be on the earth.
That stated, for many who don’t need or can’t afford the Galaxy S25 Ultra, this newest benchmark is a worrying signal.
We ought to discover out for positive what chipset (or chipsets) the Samsung Galaxy S25 line will use quickly, as these telephones are tipped to land on January 22.
