Samsung Galaxy S8+ Exynos 8895 vs Snapdragon 835 benchmark comparison

19 April 2017
The US variant of Samsung's latest flagship seems to fall short and we have the numbers to prove it.

The S8(sd835) is not run with the full clocks,I think the datas that available now can not prove G71 mp20 is better than ardeno 540.

    AnonD-39937, 19 Apr 2017battery: S8 has the same or lower battery life than S7 ; ap... moreit isnt lower, i was saying the exynos version wil outlast the snapdragon version by a good amount, it might be overall snappier but i will wait for speedtests against the two

      Mirkran, 20 Apr 2017I don't know why SD chipsets in Samsung devices are slower ... moreThe snapdragon chips are not badly implemented, rather the Exynos chips are BETTER implemented seeing as they are developed in-house by Samsung. Samsung phones also have a lot of "features" (read: bloatware) in them which, especially with only 4GB of RAM, does not allow neither the Exynos nor the Snapdragon to reach their full potential although the Snapdragon usually suffers more.
      Last but not the least, I do not know about the SD 835, but it ever since the SD 820 Qualcomm releases 2 versions of every flagship chipset - one with lower clock speeds that favours battery efficiency and one with higher clock speeds that favours performance. I am guessing that IF Qualcomm released 2 versions this year too, the S8/8+ probably have the more power efficient one.
      Anyway, I wouldn't judge the SD 835's prowess from Samsung phones. It is a well known fact that SD chipsets inside Samsung phones perform poorly compared to SD chipsets in other phones, just look up the benchmarks of SD 820 S7 Edge and compare it to other SD 820 phones. If you truly want to get an idea of how powerful the SD 835 can be, wait for the OnePlus 5's benchmarks.

        Kirin series like 960! ARM Architecture Chinese design!! In near future Snapdragon ft Exynos Vs Kirin are loser! Even Pinecones xD

            The real metric is battery life

              Never liked snapdragon. So when the exynos became the powerhouse it now is, it was a breath of fresh air. Glad to know it's continuing to do very well.

                Kirin 960 is much better or same as Snapdragon 835.
                Bravo China!
                now we wait for helio !!!

                  Anonymous, 20 Apr 2017Even though many tests show it clearly is slower but ok lit... morehe should notice how selectively the iphone is included to make it look good here, and, METAL, saved, for your last end thoughts, go check out the conclusions in the S8+ review, the slyphone is embarrasingly , selectively not mentioned, now, thats mega Pr money power to hide shame from the public eye..or no.. enter pathetic justifying comments here please.

                      AnonD-523334, 20 Apr 2017Yes. Last year SD was more powerful but less efficientLast year's SD was 40% slower (4000 multiscore vs 5600 multiscore) . This year is actually quite close.

                        And that the S8 went up from 2.5k to 3k? They improvements they did make especially in graphics are a lot more than you are giving credit.
                        Especially since there are a lot of other things besides just those two things going on in the SoC.
                        And you are completely negating how they put a huge aim increased performance while still being able to comfortably make sure power efficiency went up and especially all that with much better sustained performance and less over heading and throttling that would have happened if they just used higher boosts to make prettier numbers

                        And sorry this is not the first or even second time that exynos had a stronger gpu.

                          The most interesting part is how Huawei got their processors so fast at the top of the line, and old cpu holds very well against newest cpus from Qualcomm and Samsung thats really amazing, no one has said nothing about Kirin 960.

                            The performance doesn't excite me at all. There is no marked headway against the competition. Lol

                              Savor , 19 Apr 2017Which is probably why the battery from it won't improve muc... moreYes. Last year SD was more powerful but less efficient

                                I don't know why SD chipsets in Samsung devices are slower than SD chipsets in other devices. Bad implementation? Samsung do this intentionally to make their own chip look better? Another undetermined reason? And why both chips were tested with Geekbench 3 and not GB4, which is supposed to measure more accurately CPU performance?

                                  So the Samsung chips are better for the third year in a row now. Theres no battery life test here, but check other tests online and the battery life makes a big difference in favor of the Exynos, not only performance.
                                  Makes you wonder why Samsung has to go Qualcomm in the US and cannibalize its own product globally because of that.

                                      Fade., 19 Apr 2017the snapdragon has always the best gpus in android devices.... moreActually that is a mess of not true at all.
                                      First of all it wasn't hogging. It was production.
                                      And no the snapdragon has never always been superior in cpu or gpu.
                                      Exynos has had the advantage plenty.
                                      Heck even back a few years ago when everyone though the snapdragon was so big the meditekk chips were crappy little cheap slow ones they actually performed better and cooler. Just didn't have that initial high boost
