Exynos 2400 performs on par with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in maiden Geekbench run
Shortly after the US Galaxy S24 Ultra variant made its Geekbench debut alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy and a paltry 8 GB of RAM, its European cousin has shown up on the platform. It is powered by the recently announced Exynos 2400, and the performance delta between the two flagship chips is almost neck-and-neck, something that hasn't been seen in a while.
The Exynos 2400 sample is powering a Galaxy S24+ smartphone codenamed SM-S926B with 8 GB of RAM. It scores 2,067 in the single-core test and 6,520 in multi core. This is within spitting distance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, which scored 2,234 and 6,807 in the same benchmark. Effectively, the Qualcomm chip is a mere 8% and 4% faster in single and multi-core performance. Exynos should ideally win the multi-core battle, given it packs two extra performance cores.
It also sheds light on the Exynos 2400's CPU core structure, something Samsung left out during its grand reveal. As foretold by leaks, it features a 10-core CPU with one Cortex-X5 core clocked at 3.21, two Cortex-A720 cores at 2.9 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.49 GHz and four Cortex-A520 cores at 1.96 GHz. These figures are slightly higher than the ones predicted from an earlier report.
Then again, both results are based on pre-production samples, so it is entirely possible for both to catch up with each other in off-the-shelf devices. All in all, this listing should come as a relief for many users, as they can now get near-snapdragon levels of performance on their Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+. It is also a testament to Samsung's 4LPP+ node, which has proven itself to be equal to TSMC's cutting-edge N4P.
