Samsung Exynos 2400 chip GPU performance leaked: Still lagging behind Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

After a year of absence from the global market, Samsung's high-end Exynos processor line will likely have a re-appearance on the Galaxy S24 line scheduled to launch in January next year. Samsung is said to be rushing to implement the final stages of preparation to launch the Exynos 2400. Needless to say, there are many expectations that the market has for Samsung's flagship chip in this re-export. , but will the Korean manufacturer discourage users again?

That scenario can completely become a reality, when a series of leaked rumors about the integrated GPU performance of the Exynos 2400 shows that this is not really a strong chip in terms of graphics processing capabilities, and even has slightly worse than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Of course, because this chipset has not yet been released, all information is currently for reference only.

As can be seen in the image above, the Galaxy S24 using the Exynos 2400 chipset scored 1656 points in the GPU performance test. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored higher at 1746. Currently, the difference is only 90 points and may not show a huge difference in real-world usage, but this raises concerns. raised concerns about the competitiveness of Samsung's flagship chip compared to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Responsible for graphics processing capabilities for the chipset is the new Xclipse 940 GPU developed based on AMD's RDNA2 architecture. Compared to the Xclipse 920, the Xclipse 94 is rumored to have twice as many compute units (CUs). However, it should be noted that doubling the number of compute units does not mean the Xclipse 940 is twice as fast as the Xclipse 920.

At the present time, both Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 are not officially available on the market. This means we will have to wait and see how these chipsets stack up against each other when equipped in commercial products.

Exynos 2400 may not be intended by Samsung to compete directly with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Dimensity 9300. But the launch of this processor model can help Samsung optimize component costs when officially launching the line. its flagship smartphone and tablet products in 2024. This is especially important in the context that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will likely be priced very high by Qualcomm, leading to a decrease in the product's selling price to users. increased significantly.
