Snapdragon vs. Exynos

The "war" of Snapdragon and Exynos mobile platforms is something we have been witnessing for years, and more or less all the battles so far have been won by Qualcomm with Snapdragon, while Samsung's Exynos has always been a little behind. No, a lot, but still…

The reason? Mainly worse processor optimization and weaker graphics performance. In terms of optimization, the Exynos 2100 was a big step forward from the 990 model, but still not at the level we would like, and the Mali GPU graphics part, contributed by ARM, also fell short of what Adreno offered in the Snapdragon platforms.

But that should finally change now. 11. Exynos 2200 will see the light of day in January, which is expected to change the game dramatically, mainly due to the graphics work, which this time will be contributed by AMD. And that's RDNA 2, i.e. the GPU found in PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and the upcoming console Steam Deck. Does this mean that the upcoming Galaxy S22/Ultra family will offer a similar gaming experience to the consoles? Of course not, but it will make mobile gamers extremely happy. And unlike previous years, this time we will have the advantage of European and Asian players, while the Americans will have to "make do" with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. By how much they will be disadvantaged across the pond, we will find out when the first real-life tests are available.
