Samsung Exynos 2700 detailed: big CPU and GPU gains for Galaxy S27
Fresh leak outlines Exynos 2700 for Galaxy S27: up to 40% CPU gains, better efficiency, LPDDR6/UFS 5.0, and new cooling for steadier performance under load.

A fresh leak has surfaced online, laying out the first details of Samsung’s Exynos 2700 mobile processor, which is expected to power the Galaxy S27 lineup. If insiders are right, Samsung has taken a noticeable step forward over the current generation, prioritizing higher performance, better power efficiency, and steadier behavior under sustained load.
According to the source, the Exynos 2700, code-named Ulysses, will be produced on an enhanced SF2P process, whereas the Exynos 2600 uses SF2. The move to a newer node is said to deliver roughly a 12% performance gain alongside up to a 25% reduction in power draw. Some cores are also reportedly clocked as high as 4.2 GHz, up from 3.8 GHz in the previous generation.
The projected synthetic numbers look even more striking. The leak points to about a 40% uplift in single-threaded performance and a 30% boost in multi-threaded results versus Exynos 2600. A new cooling solution also factors in: a single copper heat block that spans both the die and the adjacent RAM, a design that should help sustain speeds when thermals rise.
The next-generation Xclipse graphics subsystem is set for a major upgrade as well. Thanks to faster links to LPDDR6 memory and UFS 5.0 storage, data throughput could rise by 80–100%, translating to up to 40% higher graphics performance in practical use, particularly in games and other heavy workloads.
What remains unclear is how widely Samsung plans to deploy the Exynos 2700. Earlier reports indicated the Exynos 2600 would see limited distribution, appearing in the Galaxy S26 Ultra only in South Korea. It’s plausible this was a trial run before a broader rollout with the Galaxy S27 series, though the final call appears yet to be made. If these figures hold, the strategy points to a company confident in its silicon—but still cautious about where to place it first.
