When it comes to mobile chipsets, the Exynos 990 hasn't been as impressive as this year's flagship Snapdragon 865. But Samsung decided not to throw in the towel and has two new chipsets on the way. One of it is the Exynos 2100 chipset, which a reliable source has some new info on.
According to Ice Universe, the Samsung Exynos 2100 chipset will have an 8-core CPU. The configuration is expected to include one Cortex-X1 core, three Cortex-A78 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores. It could potentially be a more powerful chipset than expected, especially since its Mali-G78 GPU is also expected to be similar with the Adreno660 on Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 875 chipset.
A strong evidence shows that Exynos2100 will adopt the Cortex-X1 architecture. The reason is that the code 3396 appeared in Geekbench. Converting it to hexadecimal is d44, and d44 corresponds to the Cortex-X1 architecture. pic.twitter.com/yXKPggDm3O

For your information, the Cortex-X1 CPU core architecture was first introduced by ARM back in May 2020. It's expected to deliver up to 30% more peak performance compared to the Cortex-A77 core used in many chipsets. Incidentally, the Kryo 585 CPU core in the Snapdragon 865 chipset is a variant of the Cortex-A77. If nothing else, there's hope that the Exynos 2100 chipset could be more comparable with the Snapdragon 875 chipset than previous news suggested.
If Samsung's new flagship chipset turns out good, it'll be good news for Samsung fans who are waiting for the Galaxy S21. Having said that, what do you think about this? Would you still prefer having a phone with a Snapdragon chipset? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.
