GPU TESTING: EXYNOS 2200 VS SNAPDRAGON 8 GEN 1 - A SHOCKING RESULT

A number of things have given me doubts about this new Exynos 2200 chipset, not the least of which was Samsung cancelling its launch a month ago and making it the minority variant, mainly for Europe whilst giving its home country of South Korea, the Snapdragon variant after using Exynos for their S21's.

In spite of this, I went ahead and pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 1TB model last week as I normally would.

However, I have continued to have misgivings about the Exynos model and yesterday I cancelled my pre-order in the light of this and other reports and will play the wait and see game before buying.

If it turns out that the Exynos model is equal to the Snapdragon or at least, darn close, I may get it. Alternatively, I can either opt for a grey market Snapdragon model that is suitable for use in the U.K. or wait until the Samsung Fold 4 comes out.

Snapdragon vs. Exynos benchmarks: Graphics testing

"The Exynos 2200 is supposed to be the first mobile chip to support ray tracing in games, but its raw performance in the graphics benchmarks certainly didn't live up to the hype."

"So what can we take away from these Galaxy S22 Plus benchmark results? The first lesson is that the some of us might have gotten a wee bit too excited about the Exynos 2200 in the build-up to the S22 release, specifically about the chipset's GPU"

Ha! And still can't touch apple. Exynos is their in house chip right? That has miles to go.
 
Yeah, Exynos is the in-house chip brand. Traditionally North America has received Snapdragons because Qualcomm's IS-95 ("CDMA") IP licensing is so expensive that it's actually cheaper to buy Snapdragon chips than to license it, whereas the rest of the world has usually received Exynos because that keeps more of the profits in-house (almost nobody outside of North America uses the IS-95 standard). But when the difference gets particularly large some other regions also get Snapdragons - Europe, however, always received Exynos because the Koreans believe that we'll put up any old crap (LG used to do that too: in years where their flagships had region-dependent specs the European model always had the lowest spec in every respect).

But it wasn't supposed to be that way this year: this was supposed to be the big new Exynos relaunch with the new GPU architecture, replacing the Mali series gpus they'd traditionally used, which always lagged the Qualcomm gpus in performance per watt. Except it clearly failed to meet the hype badly: the fact that they started increasing the number of regions that would receive Snapdragon units was a clear indication of what the comparative benchmarks were going to show...
 
I'm just glad you didn't use the generic phrase "the results will shock you". At least changed it up a bit.

But I am not shocked. Qualcomm has been doing this a long time so they know what they're doing for the most part. Amd is new to the mobile GPU game.
