After leaving its own architecture, Samsung's chips lagged behind Qualcomm's solutions, and Samsung has long announced a partnership with AMD, whose graphics chips should equalize relations. A rumor was announced a few months ago that Samsung's Exynos 2200 will be more powerful than the Snapdragon 898, and now that both chips have passed the Geekbench benchmark tests, we have more concrete information.


IceUniverse, a popular leaker, released information from Geekbench where the Samsung SM-S906B passed testing. It is considered to be the Samsung Galaxy S22 +, and under the hood this time hid the S5E9925 chip which should be the new Exynos 2200. Like the Snapdragon 898 (produced by Samsung for Qualcomm), the Exynos 2200 has one Cortex-X2 fast core, three Cortex -A710 medium cores and four Cortex-A510 more economical cores.


Unlike Snapdragon, the Exynos 2200 this year supports the ARMv9 architecture, and in addition, has an AMD RDNA2 Mobile Radeon GPU. What’s interesting is that both Snapdragon and Exynos in the next generation have lower clock speeds, Snapdragon at 2.42GHz, and Exynos at 2.59GHz. Apparently, Samsung realized at the factory that Cortex-X cores consume too much energy and heat the devices (which caused a fiasco with the Snapdragon 888 chip), so they lower the clocks.


By the way, the Exynos 2200 should be a 4nm chip made in Samsung's factory, and here's how it went at Geekbench. The Exynos 2200 left a score of 1,073 points on the Geekbench in the Single-Core test (a higher score would arrive with a higher clock of the fastest core, and some claim the clock will indeed be higher in the final version) and 3,389 points on the Multi-Core test. By comparison, the Snapdragon 898 scores 720 points in the Single-Core test (also due to the lower clock, higher in the final version is expected) and 1919 points in the Multi-Core test.

If the sources are to be believed, Samsung's Exynos 2200 will be significantly faster than the Snapdragon 898, and at the same time, it will have such a graphics chip that could provide it with less warm-up, higher speed, and longer software support. Also, this time Samsung could also send phones with Exynos chips to the US, but these are still things that revolve around politics and Qualcomm’s monopoly in the US market.
