There are solely three 5nm chipsets obtainable for Android smartphones for the time being. The primary to hit the market is Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 9000 sequence and it was adopted by Samsung’s Exynos 1080 earlier than Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 888 early final month. We already in contrast the Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888, and now we need to see if Samsung’s first 5nm chipset can maintain its personal in opposition to Qualcomm’s strongest cell chipset.
| Processor | Exynos 1080 | Snapdragon 888 |
|---|---|---|
| Node dimension | 5nm EUV | 5nm |
| CPU | 1 x ARM Cortex-A78 at 2.84 GHz 3x ARM Cortex-A78 at 2.6 GHz 4x ARM Cortex A-55 at 2.0GHz | 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 MP10 | Adreno 660 |

| AI Engine | Data not obtainable | Hexagon 780 |
| Modem | Data not obtainable | Snapdragon X60 5G |
| Connectivity | W-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 | Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 |
CPU
Samsung’s Exynos 1080 chipset brings a big improve in efficiency in comparison with its predecessor, the Exynos 980. With eight cores made up of 4 Cortex-A78 efficiency cores and 4 Cortex-A55 cores, it positively packs a punch.
The Exynos 1080 not solely has its Cortex-A78 cores clocked increased than that of the Snapdragon 888, but it surely additionally has yet another Cortex-A78 core than it. Equally, its Cortex-A55 cores are additionally clocked increased than these of the Snapdragon 888. Nonetheless, the Snapdragon 888 has the higher hand because of its prime core which is a Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2.84GHz. Arm says that the Cortex-X1 brings a 30% enchancment in efficiency over the Cortex-A77 whereas the Cortex-A78 has a 20% enchancment in efficiency over the Cortex-A77. Primarily based on this, we will say deduce that the X1 has a 10% enchancment in efficiency over the A78.
What do benchmarks say?
An AnTuTu benchmark results of the Vivo X60 Professional which has an Exynos 1080 processor powering it exhibits the machine scored a complete of 634,373 factors. Do word that this isn’t the best rating recorded by AnTuTu for the chipset however this can be essentially the most dependable one because it was recorded from a commercially-available telephone.
In AnTuTu’s evaluation of the brand new Vivo telephone, the X60 Professional surpasses virtually all units which can be powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor, Qualcomm’s last-gen flagship chipset.
The picture beneath exhibits a benchmark comparability of the Vivo X60 Professional and the Snapdragon 865-powered Vivo NEX 3S 5G. Whereas the Vivo X60 Professional does have the next general rating, its scores are barely decrease than these of the NEX 3S 5G in the CPU division.
In conclusion, seeing because the Exynos 1080 doesn’t surpass the Snapdragon 865 in the CPU division, it positively can’t match the Snapdragon 888 which has a CPU rating of 196,334 factors (recorded from the Mi 11) as seen in the picture beneath. And as you’ll be able to see, the margin is lower than 15,000 factors.
GPU
Within the above benchmark outcome, the Exynos 1080 virtually matches the Snapdragon 865 Plus in CPU efficiency however the place it actually shines is in the GPU. The Mali-G78 MP10 leads the Adreno 650 GPU of the SD865 by a big margin. So how does it evaluate to the Adreno 660 of the Snapdragon 888?
Qualcomm launched a video that benchmarked the Snapdragon 888 on AnTuTu. The benchmark outcome confirmed the chipset had a GPU rating of 319,439 factors. Nonetheless, seeing as we need to make this a good comparability through the use of business merchandise, we’ll go together with an AnTuTu benchmark results of the Snapdragon 888-powered Xiaomi Mi 11 which exhibits the Adreno 660 has a GPU rating of 306,548 factors. No matter the Adreno 660’s rating you determine to go together with, the Mali-G78 MP10’s 239,408 factors of the Exynos 1080 is approach behind.
If you’re questioning how the Adreno 660 of the Snapdragon 888 is ready to surpass the Mali G78 of the Exynos 1080 by such a large margin whereas it barely beats that of the Kirin 9000 as seen in the picture above, the reason being that the Kirin 9000’s GPU has extra cores (24 cores) than that of the Exynos 1080 (10 cores).
AI
Samsung says the Exynos 1080 has a strong neural processing unit (NPU) however doesn’t specify the rise in efficiency over the last-gen. Sadly, the AI Benchmark website doesn’t have each the Exynos 1080 and Snapdragon 888 listed, so we will’t say which processor is best at AI duties.
Conclusion
The Snapdragon 888 is the clear winner because it outperforms in each CPU and GPU efficiency. Nonetheless, the Exynos 1080 is a superb chipset too because it virtually holds its personal in opposition to the Snapdragon 865 in CPU efficiency and even surpasses it in GPU efficiency. Nonetheless, it’s its extra highly effective sibling, the Exynos 2100, that would be the challenger to the Snapdragon 888.
