by Regardless of the region, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.Official release of the much awaited Samsung Galaxy S24 series occurred last week. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ run on Samsung’s proprietary Exynos 2400 in most other regions, including India, but in the US they are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
In contrast, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy powers the Galaxy S24 Ultra across all markets. According to early benchmark results, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC outperforms the Exynos 2400. In a recent gaming test video, however, the chipsets have been compared to see who has the strongest CPUs and GPUs.The video demonstrates how, when playing games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Samsung’s flagship SoC maintains parity with Qualcomm’s offering.
A 43-minute video, posted on YouTube by the technology channel NL Tech, contrasts the real-world gaming performance of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and the Galaxy S24+, which is powered by the Exynos 2400 SoC. Popular games like Fortnite, Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, PUBG New State, Call of Duty: Mobile, War Thunder, and Mobile Legends were among those examined. Before beginning the tests, the YouTuber turned on Samsung’s Game Booster and “Alternate game performance management” on the new phones to make sure they could handle everything.
Maintaining 60 frames per second (fps) in Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile, the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra both demonstrated comparable performance. Both phones were able to maintain a consistent frame rate of about ninety frames per second in PUBG New State. In Mobile Legends, the phones recorded 60 frames per second, and in Fortnite, both chips occasionally dropped to 70 frames per second.
The smooth 120 frames per second that the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra maintained gave it an advantage in Call of Duty: Mobile. However, the 60 frames per second maximum was reached with the Exynos-powered Galaxy S24+. In War Thunder, the Exynos 2400 triumphs over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, achieving 100 frames per second with the help of its Xclipse 940 GPU, while the Snapdragon was limited to 40 frames per second.
The results of the tests indicated that when it comes to providing fluid gaming performance, the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets are virtually equal. Notwithstanding early reservations, Samsung’s proprietary chipset managed to maintain parity with Qualcomm’s offering with no discernible performance differences in games. The tests were conducted using pre-production hardware, and once Samsung releases additional optimisations, the outcomes may vary.
