Exynos 2400 Being Tested With Minimally Overclocked ‘Super Core’ Allowing A Small Increase In Single-Core Performance

wccftech.com:

A new update to the upcoming Exynos 2400 is that it is being tested at a higher clock speed, but at this time, the tweaks are only being carried out on the ‘super core,’ which might not seem like much, but it can give Samsung’s upcoming SoC an edge in various scenarios.

The ‘super core’ or prime core of the Exynos 2400 is currently running at 3.20GHz, according to findings posted by Quadrans Muralis on X. The remaining configuration and clock speeds of the chipset were not shared, but one important detail does mention that the tweak means has raised the frequency by 0.1GHz.

While it may seem like a negligible change, this chipset needs to power an incredibly compact smartphone chassis, so even incremental performance bumps that can be achieved without thermal throttling are a welcome change. After all, the Exynos 2400 will eventually be up against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so it needs all the edge it can get, though we still feel like Samsung’s SoC would be putting up a losing fight.

According to an alleged benchmark that tested the Galaxy S24 Plus with Qualcomm’s upcoming high-end silicon, the Cortex-X4 operated at 3.30GHz, so right off the bat, it is faster than the tweaked ‘super core’ of the Exynos 2400. However, the Exynos 2400 has the advantage of featuring a 10-core CPU, so applications that benefit from additional cores will hand a majority victory to the Samsung camp.

The power-efficiency improvements of Samsung’s 4nm LPP process are likely what enabled the Exynos 2400’s ‘super core’ to be tested at a higher frequency, but it is unconfirmed if this SoC will function at the same specifications when found in the Galaxy S24 series. So far, no benchmark leak has been spotted, but we will keep our eyes wide open, so stay
