SAMSUNG'S EXYNOS IS BACK AND MAYBE IT WILL BEAT QUALCOMM!!

 As we all know samsung every year launches their flagship s and note series with 2 models for specific markets. For the chinese and american market the phones are powered by the qualcomms best 8 series processors and for the asian and european markets you get the samsung's own exynos chips . 

Actaully, in the early years of exynos which was present in S6 series, exynos was better than qualcomm, but with time qualcomm improved their technology and overtook exynos with a huge margin.

For the chip manufacturing, mainly there are 5 manufacturers -

1) Apple - They make their own chips only for iphones.

2) Mediatek - The processors are good but have heating and battery drain issues, so these are not used in flagships.

3) Huawei - They make their own kirin series of processor specifically for huawei or honor phones and are great in terms of performance.

4) Qualcomm - 90% of the android phones let it be flagships or midrange phones, all use qualcomm's chips. These are the best in terms of optimization and battery health in android world and are therefore the best option for the companies manufacturing phones. 

5) Samsung - Samsung makes their own chips for their phones but recently other manufactures like motorola and vivo have partnered with samsung for the use of their chips.

EXYNOS VS SNAPDRAGON

As qualcomm was the only chip manufacturer for android, all brands were dependent on it, and qualcomm could any for whatever money they wanted for their chips. To break this monopoly samsung came up with their EXYNOS series. But as we say its was not on power to the qualcomm counterpart and hence people were not happen with the their exynos phones and wanted qualcomm ones with better battery life and performance.

Hopefully this wont be an issue in the year 2021, where samsung flagships are going to be powered by either snapdragon 888 or the exynos 2100.

The GEEKBENCH 5 scores for the snapdragon 888 and exynos 2100 were leaked and the results look really promising for the exynos 2100. Have a look at the same-

The left most is the score of mi 11 which is going to be powered by QUALCOMM snapdradon 888.

The middle one is the score of EXYNOS 2100. Also just for reference, i have added the score of A14 BIONIC.

According to the scores, exynos is on power to the snapdragon in the single bench and is behind in the multi core score, but this could be due to less ram on the model tested. Mi 11 has 12gb ram whereas exynos verson s21 has 6 gigs of ram, so we could consider the score of exynos to be on power to the mi 11 if not better.

The qualcomm snapdragon 888 is a octa core processor which is divided on the following cores-

1*cortex-X1 clocked at 2.84GHz

3*cortex A73 clocked at 2.42GHz

4*cortex-A55 clocked at 1.8 GHz (for power efficiency)

whereas, the exynos 2100 is also a octa core processor but we are not confirmed on the confirmed specifications but according to the tipster, Roland Qandt , exynos 2100 will have the following breakdown - 

1*ultra high performance core clocked at 2.9 GHz 

3* high performance core clocked at 2.4 GHz

4*power saving cores clocked at 2.4 GHz

If we compare the cores and their clocked speeds, exynos might beat snapdragon but there are many other factors like storage type, ram and many more. As this will be used in the samsung flagship, we hope to get the best samsung to give the best they can. 

According to ice universe , the scores might go as high as the ones found on 888.

CONCLUSION

Next year we might see exynos giving neck and neck comparison to the snapdragon processor but we hope samsung also works on the battery issues and thermal throttling issues which everyone faces in exynos processors. 

  

UPDATE- 

The date for the launch of exynos 2100 is 12th january 2021. So our confusions will get cleared after that.
