Silicon Wars 2024: Snapdragon vs Exynos vs Apple vs Google vs MediaTek



Which is the best SoC for 2024? Is it the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3? Or maybe the Samsung Exynos 2400? What about the Apple A17 Pro, or the MediaTek Dimensity 9300? Is the Google Tensor G3 a contender?

Join Gary Sims as he dives into the complexities of 2024 silicon: CPUs, architecture, GPUs, raw performance, and more.

  1. Even having those great numbers, in real life usage, if you are not using your phone for gaming, these benchmarks are all the same. You are better off having your phone from last year or for the last 2~4 years unless it is already not performing good. So stop trading your old phone to a newer one every single phone release and use your money for other important things.

  2. I had bad experience using mediatek processors 10 years ago and kinda sweared off using it.
    But after hearing that mediatek dimensity series are actually really good I decided to try it again when I have to decide between dimensity or exynos version of the phone I was gonna get.
    Using it for a week now and I can say that dimensity is really good and truly changed my opinion of Mediatek now

  3. Google is not part of any war. Tensor is a shameful product in 2024. Apple will never use a chip that bad for their flagship products. The waited till the M chips were ready before they were introduced. Tensor is not ready and Google should've developed it properly before they release.
    This is not what a multi billion corp should be doing.
    Don't buy a pixel!!!!

  4. As a person who used both flagship android and iphone, my suggestion is to go for a mobile where the os is optimised to its core. In this case it’s obviously ios. people talk about snapdragon gpu is better than a17 pro this time around. But genshin impact is capped at 60fps on almost all of the phones which use snapdragon 8 gen 3 although it is capable of supporting higher frame rates whereas apple supports 120hz gameplay. Although it depends on developer who made the game but still there is no point saying a particular phone has the better processor when the softwares or games are not taking full advantage or in this case not optimised. And this is only one of the greater number of examples. This is a fact which many hardcore android users fail to accept. If you ask me app optimisation and user experience is more important than the features provided by each platform. Although android is greatly superior in multitasking capabilities but there is polishness to be found while using it because of developers negligency and android manufacturers peasant’s mentality. I know this is due to android fragmentation but atleast higher end android phones should come with polished softwares and games. Sadly android manufacturers do not want to pay extra money to devs for such polishness because they know they can sell their devices by showing specs on paper.

  5. Important aspect of these SOCs is the chip transistor size and Apple has the best here which is TSMCs 3 nanometer chips. All other things being equal Apple's chip will be the most efficient and the fastest because of the small state of the art 3nm chip process from the world's leading chip maker, TSMC. Off course everything else isn't equal… Apple dominates most of these as well! Apple's chip is its own bespoke design starting from a license from ARM. They improve what is already there and make it better in particular their design of their own Operating Systems that use these SOCs. You can't beat this methodology.

  6. Seen S24 ultra almost hit 7400 in some GB benchmarks. Other Android phones with the SD3 also hover around there, and this chip is on the 4nm process like the 14 pro, but SD is clearly ahead, and the Apple can't touch the GPU power of the SD3.
    You're comparing apples with oranges lol

  7. Just one suggestion: I think we can skip just reading out items written ontables and charts unless there's extra info over and above what is written

  8. Hi @AndroidAuthority please add the numbers for Dimensity 9300 (Vivo X100 pro) for the Geekbench 6 score slides because the 9300 beats the Snapdragon it seems. It is worthy of discussion at least.

  9. Sd 8gen4 leaked score is 2845 in sc and that's the sad part bcs apple a18 pro will have 3500 in sc so again 20% behind Qualcomm is compared to iPhone despite launching it after a18 pro and that's the sad part it looks like Qualcomm will never catch up to apple in sc ever

  10. Exynos is back. S24+ with Exynos is better thanthe S24 due to its bigger body and better cooling system too. I wish to see S24 Ultra with SD8 Gen3 For Galaxy ans S24+ with Exynos 2400 that would be more fair since its the best from Samsung because all other Chipset coming fro their best phone..

  11. Can someone explain what the issue is with the tensor G3? Its evidently clocked at lower speeds which explains it's performance in synthetic benchmarks.

    However this has little to 0 consequence in everyday use from what I notice. I use this phone and have absolute 0 issues in all my tasks. Of course small software things, like lens transitions, choppy scrolling on certain apps can be fixed via updates but I dont see the issue with this chipset at all.

  12. Before Apple is 2 generations ahead but now Apple is only one generation ahead for normal person any Google Tensor, Samsung, MTK, Qcomm or Apple any company flagship chip get your work done as those chip ≀4nm and advance. Great video Garry
