The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the newer platform, and 91Mobiles reports higher benchmark scores for it than for Samsung’s Exynos 2400. Those scores are comparison-page results, not guaranteed outcomes for every phone. The chips also differ in CPU, graphics and modem design, while their manufacturers’ AI and efficiency claims use different baselines and are not direct head-to-head measurements.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 vs Exynos 2400: key specifications

Specification Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Exynos 2400
Manufacturer Qualcomm Samsung
Process 3 nm, as listed by Qualcomm 4 nm, as listed by Samsung
CPU Third-generation 64-bit Oryon CPU; clock speeds up to 4.74 GHz, according to Qualcomm CPU configuration and maximum clock speed not stated on the cited Samsung page
Graphics Adreno GPU Xclipse 940
Modem X85 5G modem-RF Integrated 5G modem; Samsung says it supports 3GPP Release 17 and FR1 and FR2

These are manufacturer-listed platform specifications; a phone maker’s implementation, power limits and cooling can affect real-world performance. See Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 specifications and Samsung’s Exynos 2400 specifications.

Which chip scores higher in the reported benchmarks?

In its comparison, 91Mobiles reports higher scores for Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 across AnTuTu and Geekbench 6:

Benchmark Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Exynos 2400
AnTuTu 4,033,382 2,069,599
Geekbench 6 single-core 3,733 2,130
Geekbench 6 multi-core 11,407 6,557

These figures are reported on 91Mobiles’ processor comparison page. Its retrieved comparison does not establish that the chips were tested in identical phones with the same cooling, firmware, memory or power settings, and it does not establish a publication year for the figures. Treat them as reported comparison results, not expected scores for every device.

Geekbench’s Android benchmark table collects submissions associated with device names and chipsets. It can provide device-level context, but a database of submissions is not, by itself, a controlled head-to-head test.

How to interpret the AI and efficiency claims

Qualcomm advertises a 37% faster NPU and 16% better performance per watt relative to its previous generation. Samsung describes the Exynos 2400 as delivering a 14.7-fold AI performance improvement. These are each manufacturer’s generational claims, not results from a shared Snapdragon-versus-Exynos workload or test protocol. They therefore do not establish that one chip’s AI performance or efficiency is a particular percentage higher than the other’s.

Which Galaxy phones use these processors?

On February 25, 2026, Qualcomm announced that Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy would power the Galaxy S26 Ultra globally, and the Galaxy S26 and S26+ in select regions. That announcement does not mean every S26 model in every market uses the same processor. Qualcomm’s statement is available in its Galaxy S26 platform announcement.

Samsung’s Exynos 2400 page lists processor specifications, while 91Mobiles associates the chip with Galaxy S24-family models. Check the exact model number and regional specification before buying: processor variants can differ by market, and a family name alone may not identify the chip inside a particular handset.

What the benchmark gap means when choosing a phone

The reported scores favor the Snapdragon platform, but a processor comparison cannot settle which complete phone is the better purchase. Peak benchmark results do not show how a handset performs during a long gaming session or heavy sustained workload, when cooling, firmware and power limits matter. Nor do the cited results compare the phones’ battery life, cameras, displays, software support or prices.

For a phone-versus-phone decision, compare the exact regional models and look at sustained performance and thermal behavior alongside battery life, software support, camera system, display and price. The available benchmark figures do not establish matched handset testing for those factors.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
