Samsung’s latest Galaxy S24 FE features the Exynos 2400e chipset, a slightly scaled-back version of the Exynos 2400 that powers the flagship Galaxy S24 and S24+. At first glance, the differences between Exynos 2400 and Exynos 2400e seem minor on paper, which naturally leads to the question – just how much of a difference is there in real-world performance? And more importantly, is it worth spending an extra $100-$150 to upgrade from the S24 FE to the S24?
To answer this, we put both the Galaxy S24 FE (with Exynos 2400e) and the base Galaxy S24 (with Exynos 2400) to the test. Let’s dive into the benchmarks to find out how these two chipsets compare in key performance areas.

Exynos 2400e vs Exynos 2400: CPU Throttling
When it comes to sustained performance, things start to get more interesting. During our 15-minute CPU throttling test, the Samsung Exynos 2400e dropped to 81% of its peak performance almost immediately and stayed there, showing a flatter performance curve overall. On the other hand, the Exynos 2400 chipset maintained 85% of its performance for a longer duration before gradually throttling.
This means that even though the Galaxy S24 is smaller, it does a better job of cooling down and can handle heavy tasks for longer compared to the S24 FE. In everyday use, you’ll notice smoother performance during long gaming sessions or when multitasking heavily on the S24.

Exynos 2400e vs Exynos 2400: Geekbench CPU
In Geekbench’s CPU test, the Exynos 2400e surprisingly outperformed the Exynos 2400 in both single-core and multi-core tests. The Exynos 2400e on the Galaxy S24 FE scored 5.15% higher in the Single-Core test, while the Multi-Core score showed a 7.67% difference in favor of the S24 FE. This highlights that clock speed alone isn’t the only factor at play, and optimization might be playing a role. The smaller size of the Galaxy S24 could also affect its performance as less space for heat dissipation may have impacted its sustained performance.
