Galaxy S27’s Exynos chip reportedly beats Snapdragon in tests, but we have many questions
What about single-core performance and GPU stress tests? What about battery life? Take this report with some salt.
A Korean news outlet has reported that Samsung's Exynos 2700 chip has outperformed Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 devices in several internal performance tests. However, these claims should be taken with caution, as details regarding single-core performance, stress testing, heating, and battery life are not provided. Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S27 series next year, and it is expected to offer both Snapdragon and Exynos chips, typically opting for Snapdragon in markets like the US and China, while providing Exynos in Europe and Korea.
The report suggests that if you prioritize raw performance, the Exynos variant might be the better choice. Chosun Biz, a Korean outlet, conducted tests between an Exynos 2700 device and a Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, which runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. According to the tests, the Exynos chip performed 20% better in Geekbench 6.5's multi-core CPU test.
It also achieved a 15% higher multi-core score in GeekBench 7.0 compared to the Xiaomi device. Moreover, the Samsung-powered device outperformed the Xiaomi 18 Pro (with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip) by 44% and 36% in the respective tests. Nonetheless, until more comprehensive information is available, these claims remain unconvincing.
