Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs Samsung Exynos 2200
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Platform is a high-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2021 and manufactured in 4 nm at Samsung. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-X2 architecture clocked at up to 3 GHz. Three more performance cores are based on the Cortex-A710 but clocked up to 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A510 architecture and clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. All cores can use the shared 6 MB level 3 cache.
Compared to the Snapdragon 888 (Plus), the CPU part gains 20% performance and 30% power savings according to Qualcomm. This means that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the fastest CPU for Android based smartphones and should be positioned between the Apple A13 and A14 CPU.
The integrated AI Engine can offer up to 4x faster AI performance thanks to the bigger Tensor engine. The 18-Bit-Spectra-ISP also saw some big improvements and is now called Snapdragon Sight.
The integrated Adreno 730 offers a 30% graphics boost compared to the previous Adreno 660.
The integrated Snapdragon X65 5G modem is also new and offers faster transfer rates (up to 10 Gbps download and 3 Gbps upload). The FastConnect 6900 offers support for the current Wifi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
Samsung Exynos 2200
► remove from comparison
The Samsung Exynos 2200 is a high end SoC with 8 cores in three clusters. One fast ARM Cortex-S2 with up to 2.8 GHz for single thread performance. Three more slower ARM Cortex-A710 with up to 2.52 GHz for performance tasks and four efficient cores using the ARM Cortex-A510 architecture clocked at up to 1.82 GHz.
The SoC also integrates a 5G modem with up to 7.35 Gbps (5G NR Sub-6Hz, 5G NR mmWave, LTE Cat.24 DL / Cat.22 UL) similar to the Exynos 2100. In addition to this, an image processor for 200mP in single camera mode and 8K video, an AI engine with a dual-core NPU and DPS and various GNSS systems (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo).
As a first, the Exynos 2200 integrates a graphics card based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture called Samsung Xclipse 920).
The CPU performance in our benchmarks was slightly below the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (fastest Android SoC currently) and the Apple A15 in the iPhone 13.
The chip is produced in the modern 4nm process at Samsung using EUV.
