While it’s not official yet, expectations for the Galaxy S24 Ultra are that it will exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the Galaxy S24 and S24+ will use the Exynos 2400 in most regions. How do these two chips compare? Well, early results showed that the Qualcomm chip is faster than the Samsung one in terms of CPU.
However, new results have emerged on Geekbench and it appears that Exynos is closing the gap. Here are the first Galaxy S24+ results with Exynos 2400 and Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3:
First results: S24+ with Exynos 2400 • S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
And here are the results from the same models today:
Recent Results: S24+ with Exynos 2400 • S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
The Snapdragon still leads the way, but is smaller than before in both single-core and multi-core tests. The difference dropped from 8%/4% to 5%/3% in single/multi-core tests.
At this point thermals and efficiency will be much more important. Can these two chips sustain their performance? How much energy do they consume when running at full throttle? We’ll find out when we review.
And it’s almost here, early buyers will likely have a Galaxy S24 phone in their hands by the end of the month – the phones will be revealed on the 17th, and Samsung usually does two weeks of pre-orders after the Unpacked event.
We don’t know the full hardware details for the two chipsets, but from what we currently know (from both official and unofficial sources), their CPU clusters look like this:
| Snapdragon 8 generation 3 | Exynos 2400 | |
|---|---|---|
| First | Cortex-X4 at 3.3 GHz | 1x Cortex-X4 3.1GHz |
| 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 1.8GHz |
