Samsung’s Exynos 2400 is catching up with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, will end up powering most of the best Android phones of 2024, likely including the rumored Samsung Galaxy S24 series due to launch on January 17, but it could already be facing an unlikely challenger.
Rumors state that the base model Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus could end up using Samsung’s own Exynos 2400 chip, while higher-end models of the Galaxy S24 Plus and the Galaxy S24 Ultra are tipped to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a chip that’s expected to be more powerful.
However, new Geekbench scores illustrate that the Samsung Exynos chip has made some large strides since the previous Exynos 2200 model. Surprisingly, these scores also show us that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might not be as far ahead as we would have believed.
The scores were taken from a what’s believed by SamMobile to be a Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus using the Exynos 2400 and the Samsung S24 Ultra using the Snapdragon Gen 3. And they show the Exynos 2400 is snapping at the heels of the Snapdragon silicon. Behold the benchmarks
On Geekbench, a listing for the Samsung SM-S926B, believed to be the Galaxy S24 Plus using an Exynos 2400 chip (this is due to the model number following the same structure as previous Galaxy S-series phones, and the chips having a core configuration expected from the Exynos chip), delivered a single-core score of 2,193 and a multi-core score of 6,895.
Comparatively, results for a model listed as SM-S928B, thight to be the Galaxy S24 Ultra, with a chip that has the core configuration of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, served up 2,248 for the single-core score and got a multi-core score of 7,024.
