Samsung is taking a two-chipset approach for the Galaxy S24 and S24+ phones featuring different SoCs depending on the market. The split is pretty simple this year with markets like South Korea, the US, China and Australia receiving Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Galaxy S24 and S24+ devices, while units in other markets will feature Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400 chipset . The S24 Ultra on the other hand will ship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in all regions.
We have a separate article detailing the Exynos 2400 that you can check out here.
Samsung and Qualcomm’s flagship chips are quite similar on paper: both have Cortex-X4 cores along with Cortex-A720 large and medium cores and A520 efficiency cores, all based on the ARMv9 architecture. The Exynos chip has lower clock speeds on all cores and boasts two extra Cortex-A520 efficiency cores at speeds of 2.0 GHz.
The Exynos 2400 is built on Samsung Semiconductor’s 4nm LPP+ process while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is built on TSMC’s N4P node.
| Snapdragon 8 generation 3 | Exynos 2400 | |
|---|---|---|
| First | 1x Cortex-X4 3.3GHz | 1x Cortex-X4 3.2GHz |
| Great | 3x Cortex-A720 3.2 GHz | 2x Cortex-A720 at 2.9GHz |
| Half | 2x Cortex-A720 at 3.0GHz | 3x Cortex-A720 at 2.6 GHz |
| Small | 2x Cortex-A520 at 2.3GHz | 4x Cortex-A520 at 2.0GHz |
Snapdragon-equipped Galaxy phones have historically offered better performance and battery life, but it remains to be seen whether this will still be the case with the S24 generation.
