Exynos 2400: Early GPU benchmarks indicate inferiority to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but a huge upgrade on the Exynos 2200

Samsung finally launched the Galaxy S24 series yesterday globally, with the S24 and S24+ being powered by the company's new Exynos 2400 chipset. Having skipped the Exynos 2300 last year, Samsung's new flagship SoC has its work cut out for it, but does seem to deliver solid performance, at least on the GPU end.

Starting off with AnTuTu, the Exynos 2400 earns a score of 672,480 on the GPU test. That's, sadly, a far cry from what Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices offer. AnTuTu's official leaderboard, for example, lists the OnePlus 12 with a massive GPU score of 887,620. No Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device goes below the 830,000 mark in the GPU category either. 

That said, the Exynos 2400's score represents around a 10% GPU performance advantage compared to last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, which typically scores around the 600,000 mark. Importantly, it showcases a huge improvement—around 130%, to be exact—on the Exynos 2200, which scores in the region of 280,000.

The numbers on 3DMark tell a similar story. As revealed by Nguyen Phi Hung, the Exynos 2400 records a score of 4231 on the WildLife Extreme test. That's still inferior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with the iQOO 12 officially snatching a score of 4976. Again, though, it's well over 100% more powerful than the Exynos 2200 on the Galaxy S22 series, which scores 1831. For what it's worth, it's also about 20% better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy on the same test.
