Samsung’s next-generation Exynos 2700 reportedly outperformed Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 in internal benchmark tests. The results suggest a major leap for Samsung’s in-house chip, but they do not yet settle the debate over real-world performance.
Industry sources said Samsung tested the Exynos 2700 against Qualcomm’s top chip using Xiaomi’s 18 Pro Max. In Geekbench 6.5 multi-core testing, the Exynos chip scored about 13,000 points, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 reached roughly 11,000 points.
This represents a lead of nearly 20 percent. Samsung’s processor also posted a 15 percent advantage in Geekbench 7.0 multi-core tests, according to the reports. The gap widens against the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The Exynos 2700 reportedly scored 44 percent higher in Geekbench 6.5 and 36 percent higher in Geekbench 7.0.
Samsung’s chip also showed strength in graphics tests. In peak graphics performance under demanding gaming conditions, the Exynos 2700 reportedly led Qualcomm’s top-end chip by about 20 percent. If confirmed in independent testing, the result would suggest that Samsung’s GPU has narrowed the performance gap with Qualcomm.
The results come from Samsung’s internal testing, not independent laboratory reviews. Neither Samsung nor Qualcomm has publicly confirmed the benchmark conditions, software versions, device settings or power limits used in the comparison.
Benchmarks also measure short bursts of performance. They do not show how a chip behaves during long gaming sessions, heavy camera use or sustained multitasking. Thermal throttling can sharply reduce performance once a phone heats up. Samsung is expected to use the Exynos 2700 in the Galaxy S27 series, with a launch likely in early 2027. Reports suggest the chip may power the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ in most global markets.
For now, the reported numbers are encouraging but incomplete. The Exynos 2700 must prove itself in retail Galaxy S27 units, where cooling, software optimisation, modem performance and battery drain will decide whether Samsung has truly overtaken Snapdragon
