Exynos 2100 chipset promises to be more powerful than Snapdragon 875

The coming months will be marked by the arrival of the new smartphone launch window, starting a new chapter in the dispute between Qualcomm and Samsung to see which company has the best processor among Android devices. It is worth remembering that with the Apple in the play, the thing change figure.

According to information released by the informant “Ice Universe” this Sunday (15/11), the Exynos 2100, Samsung's next launch, will have a higher performance than its Qualcomm equivalent, the Snapdragon 875. The tipster said on his Twitter account that he is quite confident about the performance of the new Exynos 2100:

The Exynos 2100 is almost certainly a more powerful performer than the Snapdragon 875, and European consumers will finally rejoice.

If this claim is indeed true, the scenario could be positive for Brazilian consumers. This is because the “big S” usually uses Exynos processors in the devices of the line. Galaxy S, in European and Latin markets, while reserving Snapdragon chips for China and the United States. Despite this, the Galaxy S21 with Snapdragon 875 hit the version with Exynos on Geekbench.

Although Samsung claims that the reason for these differences has nothing to do with cost, but rather the fact that the Exynos line adapts better to the band technology of these countries, many users tend to prefer devices with Snapdragon. Recently, for example, Samsung launched in Brazil the Galaxy S20FE equipped with an Exynos processor.

What do we know so far?

So far, both the Snapdragon 875 and Exynos 2100 are expected to have the same core configuration. The Snapdragon 875 will have a three-cluster configuration, with one ARM Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2,84 GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2,42 GHz, and four more and four Cortex-A55 cores running at 1,8 GHz.

With tri-cluster technology, the processor works with its cores divided into three groups. Each group can use 1, 2 or 4 cores that will be activated according to the device's demand. The measure seeks to bring more efficiency to processes without consuming unnecessary energy, further preserving battery life.

Although the model's 2,84 GHz is below the 3 GHz reached by Qualcomm with the Snapdragon 865+, its performance is estimated to be 27,8% higher compared to the standard 865, making it the best option for next-generation top-of-the-line processors.

Technical information about the Exynos 2100 is still scarce, but the SamMobile portal released some information on Tuesday (16) about the likely configuration of the processor. According to the information, the Exynos 2100 will use cores created from the new technology. Samsung 5nm EUV. Thus, the Korean company would leave aside the architecture until then known as Moongose, present in the Exynos 990. This processor was the target of criticism from users of the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 for its performance.

Thus, although the specific clocks of each core have not been disclosed, the website states that the new Exynos SoC will have an ARM core. Cortex-X1, three Cortex-A78 cores, plus four Cortex-A55 cores. In addition, it will also have an integrated Mali-G78 GPU.

Is Samsung's future in Exynos?

The truth is that because they are the same cores, in terms of performance, the differences between Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 875 in devices like the Samsung S21, for example, should not be noticeable, at least to the general public.

However, Samsung's increasing investments in its processor line are raising red flags for Qualcomm. This shows the Korean manufacturer's growing commitment to consolidating its devices with in-house technology.

Since Apple announced a gradual transition When using third-party processors for a proprietary line, the tendency is for large manufacturers to do the same, reducing costs and increasing control over innovation in relation to their technologies.

In Samsung's case, the company has had its strategy defined for years, but it doesn't hurt to follow Samsung's example. Apple and try to increase its market share and consolidate its position of the world's leading mobile phone manufacturer.
