The Exynos 2100 was introduced yesterday as Samsung’s newest flagship processor. It’s anticipated to make its debut tomorrow contained in the Galaxy S21 sequence that can be bought in some markets. In different areas similar to america and China, the Galaxy S21 sequence can be powered by the Snapdragon 888. We count on early evaluations evaluating each variants will floor shortly after the telephones are introduced, however earlier than then, we need to see how the 2 chipsets evaluate on paper.
Each the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 are 5nm chipsets and the shift to a smaller node dimension brings upgrades in efficiency and discount in energy consumption when in comparison with their predecessors. In addition they function ARM CPU cores in the identical 1+3+four association and have built-in 5G modems. The desk beneath exhibits a spec-by-spec comparability of the 2 processors:
| Processor | Exynos 2100 | Snapdragon 888 |
|---|---|---|
| Node dimension | 5nm EUV | 5nm |
| CPU | 1 x ARM Cortex-X1 at 2.9GHz Three x ARM Cortex-A78 at 2.8GHz four x ARM Cortex-A55 at 2.2GHz | 1 x ARM Cortex-X1 at 2.84GHz Three x ARM Cortex-A78 at 2.40GHz four x ARM Cortex-A55 at 1.8GHz |
| GPU | Mali-G78 MP14 (14 cores) | Adreno 660 |
| ISP | Title not out there Assist for single camera as much as 200MP | Spectra™ 580 Assist for single camera as much as 200MP |
| AI Engine | Title not out there Triple-core NPU | Hexagon 780 26 TOPS |
| Max On-Machine Show | 4K at 60Hz QHD+ at 144Hz | 4K at 60Hz QHD+ at 144Hz |
| Max Exterior Show | 8K | 4K at 60Hz |
| Modem | Title not out there Peak obtain velocity: 7.35 Gbps | Snapdragon X60 5G Peak obtain velocity: 7.5 Gbps |
| Connectivity | No particulars offered | Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz |
CPU
The 2 chips have the identical CPU cores and so they have the identical association. Nevertheless, the Exynos 2100 is the winner in this class as all of its CPU cores are clocked increased than these of the Snapdragon 888 processor.
GPU
Each chipsets function new GPUs that deliver important upgrades over their predecessors. We’ve already seen how the Mali-G78 performs in the Kirin 9000 and Exynos 1080 processors. Nevertheless, whereas all three of those chipsets have the identical GPU, their efficiency varies because of the variety of cores they’ve.
The Exynos 2100 has 14 GPU cores, 4 greater than the Exynos 1080 however ten fewer than the Kirin 9000. An AnTuTu benchmark end result already confirmed us that the Kirin 9000’s 24-core GPU is only a tiny bit behind the Adreno 660 GPU contained in the Snapdragon 888. With the Exynos 2100’s fewer cores, the hole is anticipated to be wider, although it needs to be lower than the hole between the Exynos 1080 because it has 4 extra cores.
So whereas Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 wins this spherical, there may be nonetheless excellent news for followers of the Exynos 2100 as its GPU rating will certainly surpass that of the Snapdragon 865 Plus. The Exynos 1080 already has a better GPU rating (239,408 factors) than the Snapdragon 865 Plus (236,287 factors), so the Exynos 2100 ought to widen the margin.
Don’t neglect that that is only a paper comparability and a extra detailed evaluation will comprise extra complete particulars similar to sport framerates and temperatures.
EDITOR’S PICK: Samsung says the subsequent flagship Exynos could have an AMD GPU
AI
On this class, we are going to say it’s a tie. The Exynos 2100’s triple-core NPU boasts as much as 26 trillion operations per second (TOPS), the identical determine Qualcomm touts for the Snapdragon 888’s Hexagon 780.
ISP
The ISP in the Exynos 2100 boasts some spectacular options. From help for 200MP cameras, to help for 4K video recording at 120FPS and 8K video playback at 60FPS, customers ought to be capable of see the advantages once they document their treasured reminiscences. The chipset can be the primary in the business to have help for the AV1 Decoder for 8K.
The Snapdragon 888’s Spectra 580 additionally packs some punch. Not solely does it help 200MP cameras too, nevertheless it additionally has 8K video seize at 30 FPS, and 4K HDR recording with computational HDR.
Connectivity
The 2 producers have determined to go together with an built-in 5G modem for the flagship processors. They each help mmWave and sub-6GHz spectrums. Samsung doesn’t say what Wi-Fi know-how its new chipset helps nevertheless it ought to have Wi-Fi 6 however we have no idea if it has Wi-Fi 6E which the Snapdragon 888 has.
Conclusion
Samsung has finished effectively with its chipset and followers needs to be happy. It has a extra highly effective CPU than the Snapdragon 888 and its ISP brings some important enhancements. Nevertheless, Qualcomm’s chipset has the GPU benefit and has an important ISP too.
Primarily based on the comparisons, we are going to say the result’s a tie however a real-world comparability of commercial-devices powered by the 2 chipsets will present us which chipset is healthier total.
