Samsung Exynos 2200 official GPU benchmark results are here and they show some significant performance improvements over its predecessor. The peak performance is something to put one’s hands together for while sustained performance is more of a mixed bag.

Notable leakster Tron has posted some figures, reportedly given by none other than Samsung itself. These show that AMD’s RDNA 2-powered 6-core GPU on the Exynos 2200 has a peak performance improvement of +31 to 34% over the Exynos 2100, which is quite a bit considering we typically see +20 to 25% performance gains between generations of CPU or GPU.

However, the sustained performance, or the performance metrics over a given time duration, is less satisfactory with a difference of +17% to +20%. This could indicate throttling, but Tron says that the performance results are based on pre-release hardware and software. We may hence see improvements over time.

Tron has also shared the Exynos 2200 GPU has a big difference in 3DMark performance (Wild Life) over the Snapdragon 888 chip. Of course, the SD888 is a chip from last year so the comparison isn’t exactly fair. But GPUs on flagship Snapdragon processors are known to vastly outperform the competition, so even reaching up to their mark is quite an achievement.

The tweet further reveals that the Samsung Exynos 2200 will be making use of the new ARMv9 architecture that was launched this year. This one focuses big on AI, machine learning, and security, meaning that the E2200 will be benefitting from it all as well.

It remains to be seen how well the Exynos 2200 will be performing against the likes of the Apple A15 and Snapdragon 898, which are its true rivals. The chip had, after all, already beaten the A14 Bionic in one case. But while its peak GPU performance is indeed impressive, most gamers swear by sustained performance since it’s more meaningful, and Samsung still needs to work a bit on that.
