Samsung's Exynos 2600 SoC, set to power at least the base model Galaxy S26 in select regions, delivers impressive Ray Tracing capabilities.
The Exynos 2600's graphics processor, the Xclipse 960, achieved a remarkable score of 8,321 points in Basemark's In Vitro 1.0 Ray Tracing test. This performance surpasses the Adreno 840 found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 by approximately 8%, and outperforms the Mali-G1-Ultra in the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 by 17%.
The Xclipse 960 leverages AMD's advanced RDNA 4 Ray Tracing technology, which is also utilized in AMD's current-generation graphics cards.
If your primary concern is graphics performance, the Exynos 2600 certainly appears to be up to the challenge. However, recent reports indicate that the Exynos may lag behind the latest Snapdragon models in single-core performance.
