Android Master, 28 May 2020Where are the haters who said Exynos 992 won't have cortex ... moreIt's not about hating. There is no logic to use cortex A78 in note 20.
Also mongoose core isn't based on cortex core.

      One of the things that disappoint is that the pictures and video taken with the Exynos is inferior to those taken with the Snapdragon. The camera sensors/software are the same but because you have a Exynos variant (that's more expensive than Snapdragon) than you'll have poorer photos. That is not acceptable Samsung, you pay more and take worse photos??

        No chance this is going to land in Note20+.
        No chance Europe will be getting Note20+ with anything else than the snapdragon-inferior Exynos 990.
        I hate it when they straight up lie to us with their bullshit marketing hype.

          AhmedSLL, 28 May 2020"While the graphics unit will offer 25% better performance ... moreBut Samsung using next gen architecture for both cpu and gpu.
          Cortex A78 and mali g78.

            "While the graphics unit will offer 25% better performance than the Mali-G77."
            Performance isn't the problem here, the G77 is powerful enough, the issue is efficiency, there's a reason why Huawei chose the G76 with more cores rather than the newer G77. Anyway, I hope we can see the fruits of the Samsung/AMD partnership by 2021.

              Anonymous, 28 May 2020I don't know what the writer is talking about because the E... moreThe two mongoose custom cores on S20 Exynos are cortex A77 based along with two other cortex A76 cores.

              cortex A78 already available for Kirin and Exynos in 2020.
              Snapdragon 875 will sport cortex A78 based custom Kryo cores in SD875.

                Bodygard, 28 May 2020Please make it as good as Snapdragon at least or else fail.... moreThis will be as good as the SD865 even slightly better coz of the A78 architecture.

                  Where are the haters who said Exynos 992 won't have cortex A78?
                  This looks like a Proper competition to the Kirin 1020.

                      MagicMonkeyBoy, 28 May 2020Stick a MTK 2000+ inside. Problem solved. Everyone is saying mediatek 882 is good amd yes its really good in paper and usage but what about long term usage?? What about its performace after 2years??.Qualcom could have easily pushed their a77 cores to 2.6ghz but in midrange segment like in sd765 they only pushed a one core to 2.4ghz why??.Cause its due to efficiency thats why qualcom chips age better than those meditek counter parts.That 2.6ghz cores in mediatek 882 will cause a lot of heat problems and degradation of battery but they are fast enough but again its smartphone efficiwncy plays imp role here

                        AMD comeback , 28 May 2020Dear haters of Exynos SOC. Good job on waking up Samsung on... moreWell well first u have to know something.It will be great that samsung will come with amd and it is needed BUT amd gpu will be totally new in the smartphone environment so game optimization is needed to fully extraxt the power.if u remember when ryzen first arrived it has few bugs and their was no optimization for games and sofywares slowly everything got addapted to and now see ryzen is deatrying intel.So samsung and amd will not be the best at first but as time passes by and more optimization will arrive they will get better

                          Anonymous, 28 May 2020After 990 fiasco, they should offer Snapdragon in Europe. No they should't...yet. The AMD deal remember? If that thing is bearing fruit, you and I will sorely regret begging for the snapdragon SOC. I would rather wait another generation before accusing them for scam. Competition is good, and if they were "smart", would have offered the exynos at a lower cost, or just drop the entire Exynos scheme for 1 generation. Was that hard Samsung???

                            Dear haters of Exynos SOC. Good job on waking up Samsung on their crappy Exynos custom cores. I to hate the Exynos 990. BUT now that the Samsungs custom core division is dead, and having good result from the AMD deal. Don't shout for the snapdragon SOC on the international models... yet. Like mrwhosetheboss said, "If they screw up again, they are going to get slaughtered". Give them one last chance, so we won't regret that maybe the Exynos with AMD "outpaces" the snapdragon. If not it is not to late like Aron said to "slaughter" them for their crimes.

                                    "According to industry insiders, Samsung might use the Exynos 992 chipset only for Galaxy Note20 smartphones at home, while pushing all overseas models with Snapdragon chipset."

                                    This is a lie from which ever source it comes from.
                                    Samsung will never ship Snapdragon chips worldwide, only in US and 2 other countries will get Snapdragon.

                                    Exynos phones are doomed... they'll never match Snapdragon in the next 1000 years

                                        They could fab Kirin chips instead of TSMC.
