Geekbench confirms that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and FE+ will feature the Exynos 1580 chipset, currently used in the Galaxy A56, offering a significant performance enhancement over the Exynos 1380 in the 2023 Tab S9 FE models. The Tab S10 FE, running on Geekbench with 8GB RAM (up from 6GB), shows a 32% performance improvement in both single-core and multi-core scores. The new models will support up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Additionally, the upgraded GPU, Xclipse 540, replaces the previous Mali-G68 MP5. Expected release is in October, similar to previous FE tablets.
Geekbench has verified the rumors surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+, confirming that both tablets will be equipped with the Exynos 1580 (S5E8855) chipset, which is currently exclusive to the Galaxy A56. This marks a significant performance enhancement compared to the older Exynos 1380 found in the Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ from 2023.
The device that underwent benchmarking – the Samsung SM-X520, likely the Tab S10 FE – is the base model featuring 8GB of RAM, which is an improvement over the previous generation’s base capacity of 6GB. Both new FE variants will offer configurations with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage (with 128GB as the base option).
Here’s the Geekbench 6.4.0 score for the Tab S10 FE:

In analyzing the single-core performance, the Exynos 1380 typically scores around 1,000, indicating that the Tab S10 FE is 32% faster than its predecessor. Multi-core scores for the older chip fall within the 2,800-2,900 range, making the Exynos 1580, once again, about 32% faster.
This is a substantial gain for the CPU over the past two years, but the most notable enhancement will be in the GPU performance – while the Exynos 1380 utilized ARM Mali-G68 MP5 graphics, Samsung has transitioned to AMD for its latest flagship and mid-range processors. Notably, the Exynos 1580 employs an Xclipse 540 based on RDNA 3 architecture.
For comparison, here’s how the new Galaxy A56 (Exynos 1580) stacks up against the older Galaxy A35 (Exynos 1380), offering a glimpse of what to expect from the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+:
For additional information on the upcoming tablets, check out these renders. The FE+ model will feature a larger display this year (13.1” compared to 12.4”), but it will forgo the ultra-wide camera on its rear. Historically, the last two FE tablets were launched in October, suggesting a similar timeline for these new releases.
