In terms of performance, the new Samsung platform is inferior to both Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and MediaTek Dimensity 9300
Starting with the next generation, Samsung will return to the practice of using two single-chip systems in its flagships – Snapdragon from Qualcomm and its own Exynos. The capabilities of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 are already known, and now data on the performance of Exynos 2400 has appeared: the basic Galaxy S24 on this single-chip system was tested in Geekbench 6. The result, alas, is not outstanding.
2011 points in the single-threaded test and 6086 points in the multi-threaded test – this result is noticeably worse than both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9300. In principle, nothing new – Samsung platforms have been inferior to competitors before, but there is a nuance: the Exynos 2400 has two more cores than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9300.

The Exynos 2400 CPU configuration is as follows: one core with a frequency of 3.21 GHz (think Arm Cortex-X4), two cores with a frequency of 2.9 GHz, three cores with a frequency of 2.59 GHz, and four cores with a frequency of 1.96 GHz. So it turns out that there are a lot of cores, but they are still of little use.
It must be said that the industry already had 10-core single-chip systems – MediaTek experimented with them (for example, you can remember the MediaTek MT6797, also known as Helio X20), but such SoCs were not widely used.
Samsung will still refine and optimize its platform, but it is unlikely that its performance will increase so much that it can compete on equal terms with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and MediaTek Dimensity 9300.
