Leaked benchmarks indicate Samsung’s Exynos 2100 SoC will offer performance very similar to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888.
Samsung is close to releasing its Galaxy S21 series, and with it will come two system-on-chip (SoC) designs, depending on the territory. In certain markets like the US, the Galaxy S21 will arrive with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor sitting pretty inside, while in many other locations, Samsung injects its own Exynos hardware inside its flagship phones. In those locations, the Galaxy S21 will wield Samsung’s Exynos 2100 SoC, and some leaked benchmarks give us an idea of what kind of performance it will deliver. In most instances, the Snapdragon variant of Samsung’s flagship phones end up outperforming the Exynos counterparts. Will that trend continue when the Galaxy S21 arrives? Well, Qualcomm claims its Snapdragon 888 will deliver big performance gains over the Snapdragon 865—up to a 25 percent boost in CPU performance and up to a 35 percent boost in GPU performance.
