The Exynos 990 does carry Samsung's newest 5th-gen Exynos M5 core as opposed to the M4 in 9825, and Mali-G77 GPU instead of G76, but these account for about 20% performance increase, says Samsung itself, graphics boost included. Surprisingly enough, Samsung's comparison is against the 8nm 9820, not the newer 9825, so the 990 benchmarks may not
Uses big.LITTLE technology. Samsung Exynos 1280. Samsung Exynos 9825. Using big.LITTLE technology, a chip can switch between two sets of processor cores to maximize performance and battery life. For example, when playing a game the more powerful cores will be used to increase performance, whereas checking email will use the less powerful cores ARMv8.2-A. In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Exynos 9825 is 11% better than Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption. Likewise, the Snapdragon 865 supports displays with a 144Hz refresh rate, while the Exynos 990 supports panels with a refresh rate of ‘only' up to 120Hz. However, that's not to say we will see many (or any) 144Hz smartphone displays hitting the market next year. Samsung has yet to release a device with a 120Hz screen, let alone one with a Pros of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. Performs 6.2x better in floating-point computations.
