Another year, Samsung's decision to use different processors With the diversity of the Galaxy S20 series depending on what the market is designed for, it has created controversy as well, to the extent that they have led about 35,000 people to sign a petition asking Samsung stop using the Exynos chip on your phones and select Qualcomm processors for all models.
By now, everyone knows the rise of Qualcomm platforms in relation to Exynos in terms of efficiency, performance and performance at image level. However, Why the difference?
How different is Snapdragon 865 and Exynos 990
While it is true that last year the difference between the Snapdragon 855 and Exynos 9820 was great – the Qualcomm model is a 7-nanometer processor, and the Samsung model 8 – complaints about the performance of Exynos have not been as numerous as they were in this new generation, though the truth is that the difference in performance was still evident.
This year, we are facing each other the two processors which, without much similarity, maintain the fundamental difference. In both cases we speak of platforms designed for the process of 7 nanometers, using the Samsung EUV format in its development.
Yes, there are differences, however, with regard to their nuclei. Qualcomm processor uses cores based on the latest ARM technology, because of its four characteristics based on architecture Cortex-A77, Samsung replacing its Exynos 990 with 4 cores Exynos M5, based on the previous build of the ARM Cortex-A76. Of course, the GPU is also unique, being the Mali-G77 MP11 on the Exynos 990, and the Adreno 650 on the Qualcomm-signed processor. Besides, both platforms are similar in terms of other technology components.
Those are just the ones differences on paper. In the "real world", the evidence confirms that the size of the Snapdragon 865 is obvious
The difference in power consumption between Snapdragon and Exynos is welcome for everyday use, however if you're a high-end user, especially the Exynos 990 game won't work well. The M5 CPU is disappointing and not competing with the Cortex-A77 coresdapragon & # 39; s Cortex-A77.
And it is not the end of the test. Others youtubers They also performed their tests by comparing the performance of the phones according to their variants, announcing the model with the Snapdragon 865 winner in many categories.
After all, Samsung continues to confirm that both platforms are designed to provide excellent performance on the Galaxy S series models, while their decision to sell the Snapdragon-powered version in their country is confusing to say the least, to the extent of some disappointment among members of the Samsung processor who have distinguished themselves.
