The info gotten from the source code shows the Exynos 2100 is an octa-core processor just like the Exynos 990 but with a different CPU arrangement. Unlike its predecessor which has a 2+2+4 arrangement, the new chipset uses a 1+3+4 CPU cores arrangement.

The prime core is clocked at 2.91GHz, the performance cores are clocked at 2.81GHz and the efficiency cores are clocked at 2.21GHz. The source code also reveals the Exynos 2100 has a Mali-G78 GPU. The benchmark result already shows that the new CPU brings a noticeable improvement in performance when compared to the Exynos 990. We expect the new GPU will also bring a significant improvement in performance.

Samsung should announce the Exynos 2100 before the end of the year ahead of its debut in the Galaxy S21 next year.
