Exynos 2500, from Samsung, now takes over from Snapdragon 8 Elite as the latest buzz-making chipsets in the smartphone fraternity. These two chipsets are going to be quite important devices to judge flagship devices by 2025. So, let us consider which ones score higher now in terms of benchmarking scores.

Benchmark Performance of Exynos 2500
Samsung's Exynos 2500 is manufactured in 3 nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology, which provides various improved features over Exynos 2400. In the Geekbench 6 test, a single-core score of around 2300 points and a multi-core score of around 7400 points were achieved by Exynos 2500, which also resulted in good improvement in graphics performance with Xclipse 950 GPU.
Benchmark Performance of Snapdragon 8 Elite
The newest Snapdragon 8 Elite happens to be Qualcomm's flagship processor and is said to be the most powerful among them. Manufacturing on a nanostructure 3 nm TSMC process, Geekbench 6 puts its score a little above 2700 for single-core, while the benchmark hovers around 8500 for multi-core. Graphics are slightly ahead due to the Adreno 830 GPU, impressing on gaming and heavy multitasking.
Comparative Analysis
The papers will report that slightly ahead of Exynos 2500 in performance is the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Qualcomm's chipset performs better in both single and multicore modes compared to Exynos. However, Exynos 2500 would still have a competitive edge in GPU and AI processing for tasks like photo editing, AI features, and battery optimization.

Real-Life Scenario: The performance
Just winning benchmark tests does not guarantee that Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite will have a hitch-free run in practical scenarios. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is, however, somewhat ahead, especially in extreme gaming or for 4K video editing. Exynos 2500 has also proven itself in terms of energy efficiency and thermal management.
It would be a wise and indisputable solution for Snapdragon 8 Elite to choose unstoppable performance in top-end benchmark scores for extreme gaming. This is no less than a striking, balanced performance with advanced AI and enhanced battery efficiency. The selection of where these phones will primarily be put to use would determine their selection.
