Exynos 2400 in Galaxy S24 Gaming Performance: Surprisingly Impressive

The latest benchmarks for the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series have sparked intense debate among tech enthusiasts. While initial tests indicated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might outshine the Exynos 2400 in raw processing power, real-world gaming performance tells a different story. In fact, the Exynos 2400 has not only stood its ground against its rival but even managed to outperform the Snapdragon chip in certain titles.

A Closer Look at Gaming Test Results

To validate these claims, a popular YouTuber conducted independent tests on the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24+ and the Snapdragon chip in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The tests focused on demanding games and were performed with Samsung’s Game Booster and the “Alternate game performance management” setting turned on, which improves performance at the cost of higher heat generation.

Summary of gaming test results:

Genshin Impact: Both the Exynos and Snapdragon chips demonstrated their ability to handle demanding titles by maintaining a steady 60 FPS. However, some thermal throttling occurred, which is expected given the intensity of Genshin Impact.

PUBG Mobile: The Exynos and Snapdragon chips in the Galaxy S24 series achieved a consistent 90 FPS but only on the Smooth graphics settings. The highest frame rate option available for both chips in other graphics settings was Extreme (60 FPS). This suggests that Samsung still needs to fine-tune these chips for optimal performance in PUBG Mobile.

PUBG New State: Both phones support 90 FPS in Ultra graphics settings, but the Extreme graphics option remained disabled. This indicates potential for improvement through future software updates.

Call of Duty: Mobile: The Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra, leveraging its Super Resolution feature, delivered a smooth 120 FPS. Meanwhile, the Exynos-powered Galaxy S24+ reached a maximum of 60 FPS.

Mobile Legends: As a less demanding game, both phones comfortably maintained a steady 60 FPS.

Fortnite: Both chips performed well, with a steady 90 FPS. However, during combat, frame rates dropped to the lower 70s.

War Thunder: Surprisingly, the Exynos-powered S24+ outshined the Snapdragon-powered S24 Ultra in this ray tracing-enabled game. While both chips initially achieved around 100 FPS, the Snapdragon chip throttled down to 40 FPS in urban areas.

Exynos 2400: A Pleasant Gaming Surprise

Overall, the Exynos 2400 has exceeded expectations when it comes to gaming performance. It not only keeps pace with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but even triumphs over it in some instances, like War Thunder. This means that Galaxy S24 owners globally can rest easy, knowing they are not missing out on exceptional gaming capabilities.

It’s worth mentioning that these tests were conducted on pre-production hardware, leaving room for even better performance once Samsung releases further optimizations. With FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) support potentially enhancing performance, the Exynos 2400 has the potential to become a formidable gaming device.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and its gaming performance.
