Exynos 2100 edges out the Snapdragon 888 in a Galaxy S21 Ultra battery test

03 February 2021
The power consumption of the big cores pointed to Qualcomm having the more efficient chip, but that may not be the case after all.

The PBK video testing the battery has a flaw. It is using a stress testing program that runs as many test cycles on the CPUs that it can. The Qualcomm may simply have become hotter and dropped battery quicker because it was able to do each test cycle quicker and ran through more, i.e. it did more work. You need to know how much work the chip did for the amount of power consumed, but we don't know the amount of work undertaken.

    Anonymous, 04 Feb 2021Exynos fan can keep try to justify Exynos all their want. C... moreOlder exynos were based on custom cores of samsung and now they are using arm core same as snapdragon...it is miles better than older exynos
    So if you dont like exynos..just go and buy snapdragon

          Exynos is made specially for Samsung, so they have a bit of compatibility. Sd888 made for any smartphone devices. Try Exynos on other brand, will see that Exynos performance drop significantly.

                  I've already told you Games are optimized differently for different device. So, average better fps doesn't prove it's better.
                  If you've just read the Android Authority article and had some knowledge we wouldn't have to have this conversation.

                      While iPhone gives 60fps for first 5 minutes after which it drops to 45 and stays around that range to prevent overheating the device which means its throttling.
                      Even on repeated Antutu tests, iPhone dropped its score by 25% while Snapdragon 888 dropped its score by 5-10%. I wonder why??ohhh that's right, coz it throttles badly.
                      So, Throttled A14 < Kirin 9000 & Snapdragon 888.
                      GSMarena doesn't do in depth gaming tests or repeated Antutu tests.

                        You wanted to say temperature is low compared to the power draw of the SoC. That's right ?
                        Temperature is also not very good as I saw Mi 11 crash in multiple videos running 3Dmark stress test. I saw S21 ultra SD888 to crash runnning the same program.

                        SN: Didn't watch your video, but I got the idea. I'll watch it later as I didn't have time to watch 15 minute video.

                          P C M, 05 Feb 2021What're you trying to mean by all of the mix things ?What do you want to hear about? Do you have problems understanding? English isnt my first language.

                          Did you watch the video? Do you know that high power usually also brings more heat? Considering how much power the mi 11 uses compared to s21 ultra, the temp increase isnt much, is what im trying to say.

                            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_price_fixing

                            And it is just a single example of how Samsung is OFTEN shady and doing unethical things.
                            Degrading SD888 performances to make their new chip appear better than it is, is exactly the kind of things Samsung is usually doing.
                            This is one of the reason I hate this brand, not because of X or Y poor reason or the country it is from, but because of its actions.
                            If Samsung was an honorable brand, even doing the exact same devices with bloatware, I would actually like it as no one can deny they can make pretty good devices.

                            And I didn't accuse Samsung of DOING this, I said it wouldn't surprise if they did it, totally different.
                            So, yes, indeed, goodbye.
