YOGYAKARTA - When buying a new smartphone or cellphone, one of the things that must be considered is the processor. An important component in the processor is the chipset. The chipset brand that is widely used for the latest output smartphones, namely the Exynos vs Snapdragon. Then what is the difference between the Exynos and Snapdragon processors?

Chipsets function as the brain of a smartphone. This component plays a role in regulating and controlling operating systems in smartphones. The more superior a processor chipset, the better the performance of the smartphone will be. That's why choosing a good processor is very important when buying a smartphone, for the convenience of the user.

Currently, smartphone manufacturers choose to use the Exynos and Snapdragon processors for the latest flagship phones. What are the differences between Exynos and Snapdragon processors and which one is superior?

The Snapdragon processor is used for almost all flagship phones produced by China. While Exynos is a processor specifically developed by Samsung. However, not all Samsung phones use this processor, but some also use Snapdragon processors.

Here are the differences in the Exynos and Snapdragon processors:

Exynos and Snapdragon processors are made by different manufacturers. Exynos is a chipset made by Samsung Electronics from South Korea. This chipset is developed based on the ARM architecture. Exynos manufacture uses a pure or customized ARM core. This chipset is only used for Samsung-produced phones or smartphones.

While Snapdragon is a chipset produced by Qualcomm from the United States. This chipset was first released in 2007. Snapdragon is a very popular chipset and is widely used by well-known smartphone companies, such as Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, Realme, and others.

Exynos and Snapdragon processors also have differences in terms of performance. Snapdragon chipset has superior performance to Exynos. For example, from Samsung series S cellphones, for example S21. In the American market, Samsung S21 uses the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

Meanwhile, for the Indonesian market, Samsung S21 uses Exynos 2100. In terms of performance produced, the Samsung Galaxy S21 with Snapdragon was able to score at 727504. Meanwhile, Exynos only reached a score of 669597.

The Exynos chipset has an advantage in benchmark single-core measurements. Each Exynos core can operate better so it can save RAM. Meanwhile, Snapdragon is better at multi-core benchmarks.

Processing of Exynos and Snapdragon processor graphics or GPU also has differences. Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) is a component that works to make graphics look smooth or clear.

The Exynos processor uses the Mali GPU. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon processor uses its own GPU, namely Adreno. For example, two chipsets used by Samsung Galaxy S21, Snapdragon 888 equipped with the Mali-G78 MP14 GPU and Exynos 2100 equipped with the Adreno 660 GPU.

Another difference between the Exynos and Snapdragon processors lies in its battery power. Exynos processor batteries are superior to Snapdragon. Snapdragon is designed to perform activities that require maximum performance.

While the Exynos processor is designed with optimization so that it can work without the need to consume a lot of batteries. So if you only use your phone to play on social media and chat and other light activities, then the Exynos chipset is more suitable.

In terms of price, the Exynos and Snapdragon processors also have differences. Because it is only paired on Samsung phones, the price of Exynos cannot be said to be more expensive or cheaper than Snapdragon.

However, when viewed from the price of its cellphone, the price of Samsung with the Exynos processor feels more expensive than Snapdragon processor phones. In addition, the performance offered is still inferior to Snapdragon. For example, the Exynos 9611 processor is widely used for 2 3 million priced phones, which is still inferior to Snapdragon 712 with the same price range.

Those are the differences in the Exynos and Snapdragon processors that are widely used in the latest flagship phones. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Exynos has advantages in terms of RAM consumption and power or battery. While Snapdragon excels in terms of performance.
