Preliminary Galaxy S21 benchmark reveals Exynos 1000 performance

Last updated: September 23rd, 2020 at 14:09 UTC+01:00

We may accept merely gotten our first look at a Galaxy S21 operation criterion, or more than specifically the Milky way S21 powered by the upcoming Exynos thou chipset. A device bearing model number SM-G996B was spotted in Geekbench 5 today, and unless the benchmark entry is imitation – which is always a possibility – this should be none other than the Galaxy S21 featuring Samsung'southward in-house chipset solution.

The device is described as having an exynos2100 motherboard and has the following unique identifier:ARM implementer 65 architecture 8 variant one part 3396 revision 0.The AP has a total of eight cores simply the criterion entry doesn't reveal exactly how these cores will operate. Yet, according to arecent rumor, the so-chosen Exynos grand has a one + iii + 4 cadre configuration, significant it relies on ane main core, three functioning cores, and four energy-efficient cores.

The chipset appears to have a base frequency of 2.21GHz and it'due south paired with 8GB of RAM, but of course, these are preliminary details and the Galaxy S21 will likely have boosted RAM variants.

Android 11 and relatively low benchmark scores

The benchmark also reveals that the Milky way S21 runs Android 11 but this is to be expected. More importantly, the listing suggests that the Exynos 1000 chipset delivers similar operation to the Snapdragon 865+. The Galaxy S21 yielded 1,038 points in the single-core test and 3,060 points in multi-core. In contrast, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (Snapdragon 865+) has a score of around 960/3,050 points in single/multi-core tests, whereas the Exynos 990-powered Galaxy Note 20 achieves around 885/2,580 points.

It'south very important to highlight that the Galaxy S21 is roughly six months away from its expected market debut, and the relatively low benchmark score can exist explained by the fact that the phone is still in evolution. We don't await the Milky way S21 to be thoroughly optimized at this early stage.

In that location's also the possibility that the benchmark at manus is false. It can happen and there'southward no way to exist certain of its validity. With that existence said, we suggest you to reserve some skepticism for these early on bits of information and the criterion results below.
