The first compute benchmark results for Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2200 mobile processor with AMD RDNA 2 graphics have hit Geekbench 5, providing a glimpse of the new SoC’s potential performance for the next Galaxy devices.



According to the results that were spotted by Tom’s Hardware, Samsung’s Exynos 2200 chip will eloquently outperform Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888, an SoC that’s used in phones such as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, but fall behind Apple’s A15, the chip that powers the iPhone 13 lineup and 2021 iPad Mini. Samsung’s Exynos 2200 with RDNA 2-based “Xclipse” GPU managed a total score of 9143 in the benchmark, while Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 and Apple’s A15 managed scores of 4853 and 14665, respectively.

Those look like very respectable numbers. I thought it was going to be a tragic story per some leaks?. Does Apples high numbers show anywhere really? I mean can I play a game in an Apple product and be blown away by superior graphics vs any other as if talking about 3090ti vs 1650 super or something?

There's two factors to this, since this is a mobile SoC destined for phones and tablets. Performance is only half of the equation. Power is going to be the other -- it won't matter how fast it is if you can't keep the device on long enough to use it.

And Uvilla has a good point - does it matter if it isn't faster than an A15, if you can't run identical operating systems and applications as an A15? It's like saying a racecar (one of my favorite palindromes) is faster than a speed boat: they travel in entirely different mediums, so does it really matter which is faster? The performance is really only relative to other Android-destined systems -- Apple has the advantage of being able to custom-tailor their hardware and software together; that's always going to be very difficult to beat.

The part of this story that interests me: I'm curious to see how RDNA2 scales down.

I'd also throw in that this is the first round of RDNA2 on Android. 'Respectable' is actually respectable - even if the this first mobile spin isn't the fastest or the most efficient, AMD and Samsung will have working fielded units to develop improvements from.
