Exynos 2400e vs Exynos 2400 Benchmark Comparison

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: Specifications

When comparing the specs of the Samsung Exynos 2400e and Exynos 2400, it’s clear they share a lot in common. Both chips use Samsung’s 4nm manufacturing process, and the same 10-core architecture, with identical core configurations. The only real difference? The performance core of the Exynos 2400e processor is clocked 100 MHz lower than that of the Exynos 2400. This slight difference in clock speed might not seem like much on paper, but let’s see how it plays out in benchmarks and real-world performance.

Exynos 2400e vs Exynos 2400: AnTuTu Benchmark

The overall AnTuTu scores show only a slight edge in favor of Exynos 2400 over the Exynos 2400e, especially in GPU performance. However, the Exynos 2400e holds its own quite well, indicating that for everyday usage, the difference between the two may not be dramatic.

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.

Exynos 2400e vs Exynos 2400: 3D Mark Test

The 3DMark WildLife Extreme Stress Test measures GPU stability under continuous load. The Samsung Exynos 2400e chipset recorded the best loop score of 391 and the lowest loop score of 203, resulting in a stability rating of 52%. On the other hand, the Exynos 2400 excelled, achieving a best loop score of 740 and a lowest loop score of 395, which translated to a higher stability rating of 58.7%.

Also, during the test, we noticed something interesting. The Galaxy S24 FE’s battery drained a bit more than the Galaxy S24. The S24 FE saw a drop of 14%, while the S24 only dropped by 10%. This suggests that the S24 might be more efficient when handling demanding tasks.

This data indicates that the Exynos 2400 on Galaxy S24 offers more consistent performance under prolonged stress, vital for intense gaming sessions or heavy multitasking. A higher stability score means less chance of performance drops, ensuring a smoother experience overall.

Final Thoughts

While both the Exynos 2400e and Exynos 2400 are well-equipped processors, the Samsung Exynos 2400 does pull ahead in some key areas, especially in sustained performance and GPU stability. However, the differences aren’t massive, and the Exynos 2400e performs admirably in day-to-day tasks.

So, should you spend the extra $100-$150 for the Galaxy S24 over the S24 FE? If you’re a power user who good performance, especially for gaming or intense multitasking, the Galaxy S24 might be worth the upgrade. But for most users, the S24 FE with its Exynos 2400e should offer plenty of performance at a more wallet-friendly price point.
