9300 finest ever and superior to all others. Wait for another competition to be born... Until 4th June 2024, no one in the world can prove BETTER.

I’ll be curious about the efficiency and thermals of the Dimensity 9300 given its use of four X4 cores.

I’ll be more curious about the efficiency and thermals of Exynos 2400 given Samsung is not the company with the best reputation of their chips BUT Samsung has been preparing this chip for 2 years, with everything optimized. I hope and expect that Exynos 2400 will at least beat Snapdragon 8 gen 2 marginally in efficiency so that it is a decently usable chip unlike the abominations we see through 2020 to 2023.

Xiaomi supermacy, The Exynos 2400 utilizes Fan Out Wafer Level Packaging, which enables improvements in thermal management. As a result, it likely won't overheat as severely as the Exynos 2200 did.

Daine Ramos Quitco, My S24 plus easily got heated. Can feel the hot on the aluminum body itself... Ohh exynos 2400
