Exynos has caught up a lot in performance compared to its competitors...its almost close to 8 Gen 3 and hope Samsung while using Exynos makes their device more smooth and integrated like apple does with iOS and their A chips. Tensor G4 is way worse compared to Exynos 2400e or 2400. But I still think Samsung should put Exynos on A, FE and base only but Snapdragon for plus, Ultra, Z Fold and flip.

pretty sure 8gen3 performs better in real world 2400e will be forgotten

You do realize that counts for the snapdragon chip as well. I got the 8 plus gen 1 when it was still the best you could get and now that is 'forgotten'
