News & Reviews:   Exynos 2100

When Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 series last month, many wondered how well the Exynos 2100 chipset would perform. In particular, early reviewers found that the phone's battery performance was better than expected. Now, more tests show that this is the case.

When the Exynos 2100 chipset was announced, many were sceptical about its performance. But recent reports prove that the chipset has been a pleasant surprise so far. Now, sources claim that Samsung wants to take a step further on the GPU side with a partnership with AMD.

The time to see whether Samsung can regain user confidence on its mobile chipset is near. We have been seeing rumours of the Exynos 2100 chipset since October, but now we're getting official confirmation straight from the horse's mouth: Exynos 2100 is launching in January 2021.

In recent years, Exynos chipsets have generally been considered inferior to its Snapdragon counterparts. But it looks like Samsung will finally be able to turn things around. A new benchmark suggests that the Exynos 1080 chipset can perform as well as the Snapdragon 865 chipset.

Qualcomm will probably launch the Snapdragon 875 and 775 chipsets sometime in December, which is why benchmarks of the former have been appearing lately. The chipset will be equipped on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 series, but sources claim that the Samsung Exynos 2100 chipset may be the superior chipset.

Rumours of new Samsung Exynos chipsets have been around for some time and so far we know that there are two new models on the way. The Exynos 1080 is one of it and could be featured first in the vivo X60. Now, the chipset was found in a benchmark for a new phone on AnTuTu.

Earlier, it was rumoured that Samsung's upcoming 5nm chipset will be named Exynos 2100 instead of 1000. The chipset is supposed to be the successor of Exynos 990 that powers the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Note 20 series. Now, it is reported that the company is bringing another 5nm chipset and it's named Exynos 1080. The chipset will be the successor of Exynos 980.

It was just a few weeks ago when we heard of rumours about an Exynos 1000 chipset, which will be used for next year's Samsung Galaxy S21 series. But is that the chipset that will bring them back into relevance? We're not too sure about that yet, but there's another rumour about the new chipset manufactured on a 5nm fabrication process.
