Samsung thinks Exynos 2700 can beat Qualcomm’s best next-gen chip
Samsung’s Exynos 2700 reportedly targets faster CPU, GPU, and AI performance than Qualcomm’s next flagship Snapdragon chip while consuming less power.
Samsung appears to be confident in its upcoming Exynos 2700 chipset, believing it may outperform Qualcomm's highly anticipated Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Pro models. Industry analysts report that the Exynos 2700 could secure a 19% advantage over the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 in Geekbench 6.5 multi-core performance and a 9.5% lead over the Pro model.
The chip may also boast a 5% edge in graphics performance compared to the Pro version, and up to 24% better GPU performance at a 2.5W power limit. This lower power utilization could translate to better sustained gaming performance with reduced battery consumption. Additionally, the Exynos 2700 is projected to outperform Qualcomm's chip in AI tasks, notably excelling in Llama 3.1 8B testing by generating responses 18% faster and prompting responses 5% quicker.
Samsung plans to manufacture the chip using its advanced 2nm GAA process, which could bolster its in-house processor business and provide a competitive edge over Qualcomm. However, these impressive claims will need to be substantiated by actual shipping devices, where factors like thermals, sustained performance, battery life, and camera capabilities play a crucial role.
If Samsung's claims hold true, the Exynos 2700 could be the company's strongest flagship processor in recent years, potentially shifting the market balance.
