Shitty Exynos! Their power looks good only on paper, but in the long run, they’re trash.

We already understand that you are a Dimensity fanboy, Exynos 2400e is way ahead, understand more about SoC.

Miguel_Angelo, no its not buddy. Exynos 2400e is not way ahead, in fact, it's close to 8400, and I would say 8400 gonna be better because of fewer thermal throttles 8400 chip do check the GSM Arena benchmark of s24fe with Exynos 2400e. If Samsung fixes this yes, it's better than 8400...

Dimensity did a really good job. Its only flaw is the slower sign core, but overa ll it's really competitive.

Remember, AnTuTu is not all that defines the power and performance of a cell phone.
