Galaxy S21 Plus running score reveals new Exynos processor: may not be able to beat Snapdragon 875

Should Samsung launch the Exynos 1000 after the Exynos 990 chip? It seems that there are still variables. The score of the phone believed to be the Galaxy S21 Plus on Geekbench indicates that the next-generation flagship Exynos processor will be called Exynos 2100. However, Sammobile reported that Exynos 2100 is the name of the motherboard, and the official name may still be Exynos 1000.

The device was recently tested under the model number "Samsung SM-G996B", and the test results and its source code also revealed detailed information about the phone and chip.

The Galaxy S21 Plus will run Android 11, and the motherboard information is listed as "Exynos 2100". The base frequency of the chip is 2.21GHz and it is equipped with 8GB of RAM. The single-core and multi-core scores are 1038 and 3060 points respectively.

Information obtained from the source code shows that the Exynos 2100 is an octa-core processor, just like the Exynos 990, but with a different CPU combination. Unlike the previous 2+2+4, the new chip uses a 1+3+4 core combination.

The frequency of the main core is 2.91GHz, the frequency of the performance core is 2.81GHz, and the frequency of the efficiency core is 2.21GHz. The source code also reveals that the Exynos 2100 integrates the Mali-G78 GPU. The benchmark test results have shown that the performance of the new CPU has been significantly improved compared to the Exynos 990.

However, comparing these data with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra equipped with Snapdragon 865 Plus, you will find that the gap between the two is not that big, because the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is able to obtain single-core and multi-core scores of 960 and 3050 respectively. These results mean that the new Exynos may not be able to beat the Snapdragon 875.
