After shipping the Galaxy S23 series with a Snapdragon chip globally, Samsung is returning to its usual dual-chip strategy next year. The Galaxy S24 series will use the Exynos 2400 in some markets and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in others. Or maybe the Korean firm will use the Snapdragon processor on the Ultra model globally and equip the other two models with Exynos. However, if a new rumor is accurate, you might not want to buy an Exynos-powered Galaxy S24, no matter which model it is.
According to X (formerly Twitter) tipster @Tech_Reve, the Exynos 2400 is no match for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both CPU and GPU performance. Multi-core CPU performance is just about the same or slightly tilted towards the latter, but Exynos lags in single-core performance. This is despite Samsung abandoning its cost-cutting measures in place for the past several years and putting in everything it has. The fault is in the Korean firm’s manufacturing process and chip design, the tipster claims.
The Exynos 2400 is based on Samsung’s 4nm 4LPP+ process node. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, on the other hand, is manufactured by TSMC using its 4nm N4P process. Both solutions reportedly have similar power consumption, but the former is “slightly inferior” in overall CPU performance. The new Exynos chip’s GPU power consumption, meanwhile, is higher than the Snapdragon counterpart. Its stability is also said to be at 90%, slightly lower than Snapdragon’s 95%.
Samsung took a year gap and still couldn’t fix its Exynos problems
Long story short, Samsung hasn’t yet completely eradicated its Exynos woes. Its in-house processors have long had power, performance, and thermal issues. They always underperformed competing Snapdragon solutions. Despite this, the company continued its dual-chip strategy for years. However, with growing public backlash, it eventually gave up this year and went all-in with Snapdragon for the Galaxy S23 series. Samsung then went back to the drawing board to fix the Exynos problems.
A year later, it has come up with a new Exynos chip that’s still inferior to the latest Snapdragon. Well, neither chip is official yet, so we don’t know the full picture. But leaks at this time should be mostly accurate. The source of this information has a decent track record of Samsung leaks too. While it’s still advisable to wait for the official data about the Exynos 2400 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, things aren’t looking that promising for Samsung at this point. We will let you know when we have more information about these chips.The post You might not want to buy an Exynos-powered Samsung Galaxy S24 appeared first on Android Headlines.
