- Samsung is about to launch the much-anticipated Galaxy S26 series on February 26.
- The Exynos 2600 built-in brings an innovative heat dissipation tech dubbed as the Heat Pass Block (HPB) Technology
- With more than 20 percent effective decline in temperatures, the HPB technology could make cooling fans obsolete as per reports.
Samsung unveiled its innovative Heat Pass Block (HBP) technology with Exynos 2600. As per the reports, this is the pioneer technology in heat dissipation that can potentially make cooling fans obsolete. This is a huge claim, and we decided to dig a bit deeper to find out if this report holds any reality.
Exynos 2600′ HPB technology could make cooling fans obsolete
Tipster Fixed-Focus Digital Cameras took it to Weibo, stating how Samsung’s HPB technology could make some fan-based chipsets obsolete. The innovation brings 20 percent better heat dissipation, reduces mechanical complexities, and operates silently, powering the device, and these are just a few reasons why the tipster believes in what HPB can bring to the table.
One of the instances mentioned by Wccftech shows a RedMagic 11 Pro powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 reaching 47°C and an iPhone 17 Pro Max with an A19 Pro SoC reaching 39°. On the other hand, Samsung’s Exynos 2600 would essentially bring the temperature down by 20 percent, which aids in sustained and retained performance on the device, often required when users are indulged in heavyweight gaming or rendering, such as video editing on their phones.
To simplify, the HBP, or Heat Block Path, is a copper-made heat sink that sits directly on top of the DRAM and the chipset. This juncture helps the chipset to dissipate heat promptly, increase its efficiency, and reduce noise that is ultimately produced during the process.
In other models, the heat sink is disconnected, which adds a few more steps before heat dissipation can take place. Although cooling fans are widely used for their capabilities, knowing just how capable Exynos 2600’s HPB technology is can prove its caliber to the takers, such as Qualcomm and Apple.
Exynos 2600 will make its appearance on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series, releasing on February 25th. Of course, this will also be the time when Samsung will increase the reception of Exynos chipsets on its flagship phones to reduce Qualcomm-based models. We might have to wait a few more days to see how the Exynos 2600 actually performs with the new heat dissipation tech, and soon enough, it might be adopted by other chipmakers.
