Exynos vs. Snapdragon: an unexpected twist in the Galaxy S24 family

[or1k]

A surprise on the smartphone market: Galaxy S24 Plus based on Exynos 2400 outperformed Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In 3DMark GPU load tests, the new Exynos showed not only a higher result by 8%, but also a smaller performance drop under prolonged load (64.6% vs. 48.3%).

It is especially worth noting that the Exynos 2400 is manufactured using Samsung's own 4nm process, while its competitor is made by TSMC, whose process technology was considered to be the best. This comes as a surprise given the larger cooling system of the S24 Ultra and the previous GPU issues with the Exynos 2200. It looks like Samsung has made a big step forward in optimizing its chipsets.
