Although Samsung’s Exynos 2100 has significantly improved over the Exynos 990, the A14 Bionic still retains the best position as pure performance is the name of the game. That doesn’t mean the Korean giant isn’t working behind the scenes to make its upcoming flagship SoC even better. In fact, a new rumor claims that the company wants to meet the performance target of the A14 Bionic, but it is not going to be easy.
Samsung and AMD are currently working on optimizing the chipset – there are rumors that it is currently difficult to vote
While the Exynos 2100 is similar to the Snapdragon 888 in CPU tests only, an earlier speed test shows that performance drops when the GPU is stressed. This is probably why Samsung is seeking the expertise of AMD to optimize the next chipset’s performance and efficiency. A rumor that appears on the Korean community website, Clien, claims that Samsung is developing an Exynos chipset to reach Apple’s A14 Bionic’s performance target.
This is now an ambitious plan. The rumor also claims that the performance target may be increased depending on the timeline for the release. If we now assume that Samsung plans to unveil its new Exynos flagship SoC a little later, it can continue to use AMD’s expertise to optimize the power consumption and thermal power of the chipset. So far, the alignment of the silicon is problematic, as Samsung may have trouble finding a balance between performance and power consumption.
However, the initial GFXBench numbers that are off-screen are very promising, beating even the numbers that the A14 Bionic got. Below are the results if you want to see an early comparison.
Nameless Exynos disk set in development
- Manhattan 3.1 – 181.8FPS
- Aztec Normal – 138.25FPS
- Aztec High – 58FPS
A14 Bionic runs on iPhone 12 Pro
- Manhattan 3.1 – 146.4FPS
- Aztec Normal – 79.8FPS
- Aztec High – 30.5FPS
As you can see, an early release of this nameless Exynos slide shows that it easily beats the A14 Bionic. However, the results were probably obtained with the SoC working on unrealistic power targets, and thus reducing the wattage is the current goal for Samsung and AMD. According to a tipster, Samsung was able to announce its new Exynos chipset with an AMD GPU during the first or second quarter of 2021.
We are definitely looking forward to launching this chip after further optimization. Maybe, just maybe, in a few months, we’ll have a real performance battle.
