Below is a detailed specs comparison table between last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Exynos 2200, Exynos 2100, and Apple A15.
| Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 | Exynos 2200 | Exynos 2100 | Apple A15 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Production process | Samsung 4nm EUV | Samsung 4nm EUV | Samsung 4nm EUV | TSMC 5nm |
| CPU | 1 x Cortex-X2 3Ghz 3 x Cortex-A710 2.5Ghz 4 x Cortex-A510 1.8Ghz | 1 x Cortex-X2 3 x Cortex-A710 4 x Cortex-A510 | Exynos X1 2.91Ghz 3 x Cortex-A78 2.8Ghz 4 x Cortex-A55 2.2Ghz | 2 x Avalanche 3.23Ghz 4 x Blizzard 1.8Ghz |
| GPU | Adreno 730 (30% faster and 20% power saving) | Xclipse 920 AMD RDNA 2 . architecture | ARM Mali-G78 | 4-core custom GPU (5 cores on iPhone 13 Pro) |
| Modem | Modem X65 speed 10Gb/s | Samsung’s integrated 5G modem with speeds of 10Gb/s (mmWave), 1.5Gb/s (sub-6) | Exynos 5123 speed 7.3G/bs | Modem Qualcomm X60 5G |
| Processor Ai | AI Engine 7th Generation Qualcomm | NPU FP 16 | NPU 3 cores, 26 TOPS | Neural Engine 16 cores, 15.8 TOPS |
| Video | 8K HDR 10+ | 8K 60fps 10-bit | 8K HDR 60fps | 4K HDR+ 120fps |
Both the latest Qualcomm and Samsung processors support unique new features, as well as 5G connectivity with a new generation modem chip that provides superior download speeds. For comparison, the Apple A15 based on the 5nm architecture was released last year, so it is understandable that it is more outdated than the two competitors.
According to the graphics performance tests, the Xclipse GPU based on the AMD architecture of the Exynos 2200 does not outperform the Adreno 730 of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But the bright spot is the support for high-end graphics features for the first time. first appeared on smartphones, as ray tracing or variable rate shading. In addition, Exynos also supports 4K resolution on 120Hz, something that no other processor currently does.
