The benchmark scores forSamsung‘s rumored 5nm flagship SoC, Exynos 2100, and Qualcomm’s flagshipSnapdragon 875 SoChave leaked yet again, suggesting that the former might be significantly faster than the latter at this stage in their development cycles. Both chipsets are expected to sport 1+3+4 similar configurations, including ARM’s ‘Cortex-X1 Super’ CPU cores.
While Qualcomm seems to have closed the gap with the Samsung chip since the last test, the Snapdragon 875 is still some ways short of its rival, so it will be interesting to see if that will change by the time these chips are ready for mass production. That said, do take these results will a pinch of salt, given that it’s real easy to fake the Geekbench scores and we have no way to verify the authenticity of these leaks.
Qualcomm’s first 5nm mobile processor, the Snapdragon 875, is expected to power a bunch of flagship smartphones next year. That includes the US version of the Galaxy S21, although, here in India, we’re still likely to get an Exynos 2100-powered variant. However, that might not be such a bad thing if the chip does turn to be as competitive as the early results seem to indicate.
