Earlier in the month, Samsung's marketing team initiated their Exynos 2600 promotional campaign. At the time, official teaser material did not provide any substantial hints about the next-gen mobile chipset's technical underpinnings. Weeks later, a fresh leak has laid out the cutting-edge mobile processor's fundamentals. PhoneArt's social media post seems to confirm previous predictions about an overall 10-core design, and being based on an important in-house 2 nm node process. Today's prediction did not outline the Exynos 2600 SoC's cluster configuration, but previous outpourings have settled on a "1x Prime + 3x Performance + 6x Efficiency" internal setup. PhoneArt reckons that the prime core will reach a maximum clock frequency of 3.9 GHz. A commenter, Erencan Yılmaz, reckons that this figure should be reduced to 3.8 GHz, due to power consumption considerations when looking at a 2 nm GAA-based design.

Supposedly, max. performance core speed is 3.25 GHz, while efficiency-oriented units can only reach up to 2.75 GHz. In the past Samsung and AMD have co-developed various Xclipse integrated graphics solutions, for proprietary smartphone platforms. Industry observers expected this RDNA-based collaboration to continue into a new generation. The fresh mentioning of a mysterious "AMD JUNO" iGPU has caused some confusion—this new Team Red IP is said to be clocked at 985 MHz. Additionally, PhoneArt claims that "JUNO" supports modern APIs: OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 3.0, and Vulkan 1.3. It is plausible that "JUNO" could be a codename for the speculated "Xclipse 960" integrated graphics processor.
