Multiple leaks have effectively confirmed that the core configurations of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 and Samsung Exynos 2100 will be identical. It is still too early to crown a winner, as neither will hit the market until 2021. Both chips' alleged Geekbench scores have surfaced yet again.
The Exynos 2100 (formerly known as Exynos 1000) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 875's Geekbench scores first appeared on the Korean website Clien.net. Another user now claims to have a fresh set of results obtained from two Galaxy S21 variants running Samsung and Qualcomm's silicon. The Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 875 net a single-core score of 1,323 and 1,204. Similarly, the multi-core scores are 4,215 and 4,121. Enabling power saving mode seems to level the playing field, with both devices netting near-identical results.
Single-core | Multi-core | Single-core w/power saving mode | Multi-core w/power saving mode | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Snapdragon 875 | 1,204 | 4,121 | 1,114 | 3,067 |
Exynos 2100 | 1,323 | 4,215 | 1,129 | 3,019 |
The above result puts the Exynos 2100 significantly ahead of the Snapdragon 875. It is somewhat contradictory to the former's previous Geekbench listing, which stated the opposite. However, we should treat these results with a healthy dose of skepticism. Although Clien has been right about several things in the past, the lack of an actual Geekbench listing puts the legitimacy of these results in question.
