People believed to be dead live longer: There has long been speculation that Samsung will resurrect the Exynos processor from the grave. What used to be a fear has now become a reality. Both the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are based on the new Exynos 2400, a ten-core SoC.
The Galaxy S23 series was a complete success for Samsung: compared to the Galaxy S22 (test: S22 Ultra), the pre-sale numbers increased significantly. Actual sales figures are also much higher than its predecessors. Accordingly, the smartphone series is currently available in Europe and the Middle East About 50 percent more are sold Compared to the S22, sales in Brazil and Mexico even increased by 70 percent. A reason for this success may be: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 “for Galaxy” which will be installed worldwide this year. This means that the smartphone is equivalent in all markets, which was not the case with the last S models.
Exynos 2400 with Deka Core CPU
But now there is a change, because Samsung has it Return for Exynos Confirmed in the high-end range. As part of the recent Unpacked event, two devices based on the new Exynos 2400 were presented: Galaxy S24 and S24+. Samsung Semiconductor has now revealed more details about the SoC.
Accordingly, it is a processor with a total of ten cores including a Powerful Cortex X4 with 3.2 GHz Used as prime core. There are pluses 2x Cortex A720 mit 2,9 GHz, 3x Cortex A720 mit 2,6 GHz sowie 4x Cortex A520 mit 1,95 GHz. The specifications are the same as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “for Galaxy”, but the Exynos chip has two additional A520 cores. However, Qualcomm’s different cores have higher clock speeds, which means Snapdragon may be a bit faster in benchmarks. Both processors are manufactured using the 4nm manufacturing process.
Up to 70% higher CPU performance
The manufacturer has already provided some information about the performance of the Exynos 2400 at the Samsung System LSI Tech Day 2023. Compared to the Exynos 2200, the new chip should be approx 70 percent higher CPU performance show, “AI performance” even increases by a factor of 14.7. The latter is particularly important in relation to the new Galaxy AI, which is, among other things Live translation of audio and text Possible during a telephone call.
Significant difference in GPU
When it comes to the GPU part, Exynos and Snapdragon couldn’t be more different. Samsung is counting on one here Xclipse 940 GPU, which is based on AMD’s RDNA3 architecture. The Radeon RX 7000 desktop graphics card also uses the graphics architecture and is intended to offer advanced ray tracing functions. How the GPU will ultimately perform against the Qualcomm Adreno 750 remains to be seen over the next few days.
