Early indications suggested that Samsung’s Exynos 2400 might not match up to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy when it comes to benchmark testing in AnTuTu and Geekbench. However, recent analyses demonstrate that Samsung’s Exynos 2400 can certainly hold its ground in gaming performance against its Qualcomm counterpart.
A recent YouTube video from NL Tech presented a thorough comparison between a Galaxy S24+ with the Exynos 2400 and a Galaxy S24 Ultra sporting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, showcasing their gaming capabilities. With the aid of Samsung’s Game Booster and an alternative game performance management setting, both chipsets were stretched to their limits to ascertain their full potential.
The testing involved several popular games, including but not limited to Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, and Fortnite. The Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 managed to handle Genshin Impact at stable frame rates, dipping slightly under the 60 FPS mark, even with the game’s intensive graphics; a testament to their robust performances.
In addition to Genshin Impact, both chipsets showcased impressive results in PUBG Mobile achieving a steady 90 FPS. Though the performance in this game could be further unlocked through future software updates. Similarly, Call of Duty: Mobile on the Galaxy S24 Ultra leveraged Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Super Resolution to run flawlessly at 120 FPS, while the Galaxy S24+ was capped at 60 FPS.
Lower-demand titles like Mobile Legends easily ran at 60 FPS on both devices, demonstrating the versatility of both chipsets across varying gaming requirements. However, Fortnite proved to be more challenging, with both phones experiencing frame rate drops during intense action sequences.
Notably, the Exynos 2400 outshone Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in War Thunder, supporting raytracing while maintaining higher frame rates before thermal throttling became a significant factor for the Qualcomm chip.
The comparison revealed the potent capabilities of the Exynos 2400, putting it in contention with not just Snapdragon’s latest but potentially with other leading chipsets in the gaming arena, including MediaTek’s Dimensity series and even Apple’s A-series chips, owing in part to FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) support.
It’s important to consider that this gaming performance comparison was made using pre-release hardware, paving the way for further enhancements as Samsung and AMD roll out performance optimizations.
With such close competition in gaming performance, consumers eyeing the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ can invest with confidence knowing that the Exynos 2400 is fully equipped to deliver a premium gaming experience.
For those eager Samsung fans, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is now available for pre-order on Amazon.
