The Exynos 2600 chipset is slated to power a portion of the upcoming Galaxy S26 flagship series.
According to the South Korean outlet The Elec, the Exynos 2600 will mark Samsung’s first foray into utilizing AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics architecture for its mobile processors. The specific component in question is the Exynos Xclipse 960 GPU, which is engineered around the MGFX 4 architecture.
Sources indicate that MGFX 4 serves as a tailored and streamlined version of the RDNA framework, specifically optimized for Samsung’s mobile hardware ecosystem. By comparison, the previous-generation Exynos 2500 relied on the Xclipse 950 GPU, which was built on the RDNA 3-based MGFX 3 architecture.
According to official product insights, the Xclipse 960’s transition to this upgraded architecture delivers up to a twofold increase in raw computational performance compared to its predecessor. Samsung also highlights a significant 50% jump in ray tracing efficiency. Additionally, the chipset integrates Exynos Neural Super Sampling (ENSS), a proprietary AI technology designed for intelligent image upscaling and frame generation.
It is noteworthy that the RDNA 4 architecture—the foundation of the Radeon RX 9000 desktop series—has not yet appeared in any other mobile GPUs or integrated Ryzen graphics. With leaks suggesting that future Zen 6 APUs might leapfrog directly to RDNA 5, some industry analysts speculate that the Exynos 2600 may actually employ a heavily modified RDNA 3 variant enhanced with specific RDNA 4 features.
