After the Galaxy S24 series was officially unveiled at Samsung's first official event this year, the company's Exynos 2400 was quickly put to the test, because most consumers will decide whether to buy a flagship smartphone based on the performance of the SoC. In the latest 3DMark WildLife Extreme Stress test, Samsung's high-end chip made a positive first impression, with twice the performance of its predecessor, the Exynos 2200, and on par with the A17 Pro.
Nguyen PhiHung announced the results on the X, showcasing the achievements of Samsung's new Exynos 2400. The chipset scored 4,042 points in the benchmark, which the person said are double the results achieved by Samsung's previous-generation chipset, the Exynos 2200. The company seems to be turning things around with the Exynos 2400, with WildLifeExtreme test results showing the chipset is on par with Apple's A17 Pro.
For those unfamiliar with 3DMark, 3DMark's WildLifeExtremeStressTest is designed to push smartphone chips to their limits through a series of CPU- and GPU-focused tests while monitoring how well the chipset maintains performance before high temperatures force it to reduce performance.
There are two reasons why the Exynos2400 performs so well and is comparable to the A17Pro:
First, Samsung's entire Galaxy S24 series is equipped with heat pipe cooling, not just the "Ultra" version, so temperature control of the Exynos 2400 will be much easier. In contrast, Apple doesn't use heat pipes or any other form of elaborate cooling on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which explains why the A17 Pro can rise to its maximum temperature threshold so quickly.
Secondly, the new Exynos is mass-produced using Samsung's 4LPP+ process, which may be inferior to TSMC's N4P node, but compared with earlier iterations, its power consumption efficiency has been improved, making this run better. Of course, this is not the only benchmark used to monitor the performance of the Exynos2400. Although it performs well in 3DMarkWildLifeExtreme, it does not mean that it can maintain the same posture in other tests.
