So who’s faster, the Exynos 2100 or the Snapdragon 888? Big comparison

Golden Reviewer tested better SoCs in SPECint2006, presenting the test results in a large, visual table.

Last year’s Exynos 990 SoC lagged behind the Snapdragon 865, especially in terms of battery life. This year the difference is much smaller, the Exynos 2100 is significantly better than the Exynos 990, but the Snapdragon 888 is still in the lead.

So who's faster, the Exynos 990 or the Snapdragon 865?  Big comparison

Despite the fact that the large Cortex-X1 core in the Exynos 990 is clocked at 2.9 GHz versus 2.84 GHz in the Snapdragon 888, the latter platform is more powerful. The source writes that the performance per watt is 12% higher. When looking at a cluster of three Cortex-A78 cores, the Exynos 2100 delivers 12% more performance, but at the cost of a 52% increase in power consumption, making the new platform 26% less efficient in terms of performance per watt.

If we compare the Exynos 2100 with the Exynos 990, we can see big improvements. The large core in the Exynos 2100 provides 22% more performance and 34% more efficiency.

The following video compares the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphones with Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888. In different tests, the SoCs are swapped, but the Exynos turns out to be slightly cooler than the Snapdragon 888. The Snapdragon 888 is well ahead of the Exynos 2100 when it comes to graphics benchmarks.

Samsung will be phasing out the Mali GPUs this year and launching SoCs with AMD GPUs, which should fix the situation.
