Many people think that installing Exynos 2200 into the Galaxy S23FE is a bad decision by Samsung, but a series of tests show that this cost-effective sub-flagship phone can maintain its CPU performance output very well. It appears that certain optimizations and cooling solution upgrades in the Exynos2200 manufacturing process may be responsible for the dramatic change in results.

Galaxy S23FE powered by Exynos2200 recently underwent some CPU throttling and stress testing/Image source - RONTEK
While we didn’t see the Galaxy S23FE’s internals, the addition of a vapor chamber may help with the Exynos 2200’s performance stability. It is also possible that Samsung will use an improved manufacturing process to mass-produce the Exynos 2200.
RONTEK put the Galaxy S23FE through a series of benchmarks and stability tests, but we focused primarily on the latter because we wanted to see a successor using a previous-generation chip that was criticized for having trouble controlling heat. When the 3DMarkWildLifeExtreme stress test was completed, we were really surprised that the Galaxy S23FE was able to maintain more than 75% of the actual performance.
Even in the CPU throttling test, the Exynos 2200's performance was only reduced to 74% of its maximum capability. Here's an interesting bit; the Exynos 2200 actually performed better than the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro running TensorG3, which was tested in the regular version of 3DMark's WildLife test, rather than "Extreme" mode. In previous teardown videos, we noticed that Google isn't using vapor chambers in any of its flagship products this year.
Assuming that both Exynos2200 and TensorG3 are mass-produced using Samsung’s 4nm LPP (Low Power Plus) process, adding a vapor chamber to the Galaxy S23FE may bring about huge changes.
