Samsung Exynos 1580 Processor Review
A mid-range processor represents a real course correction for Samsung thanks to documented architectural improvements in the processor and graphics, but artificial intelligence remains a clear stagnation point that must be paid attention to.
- +A real and officially documented architectural leap to ARMv9
- +Clearly more powerful graphics processor thanks to AMD collaboration (Xclipse 540)
- +17% improvement in processor performance compared to the previous generation
- −Complete stagnation in AI module development (same old NPU)
- −Does not support 5G mmWave frequencies
- −Noticeable variation in AnTuTu results between different sources
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Chipset Review — Specifications and Benchmarks
An exceptional flagship chip that puts Qualcomm, for the first time, in genuine head-to-head competition with Apple's best, thanks to a radical step forward in CPU, graphics and imaging. Take care not to confuse it with the weaker Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 when buying.
- +CPU performance that takes on the Apple A19 Pro directly and beats it in multitasking
- +An upgraded GPU with desktop-class features (ray tracing, Unreal Engine 5)
- +The first phone chip to support the professional APV video codec
- −Inconsistent thermal behaviour during very long gaming sessions
- −Easily confused with the weaker and completely different "Snapdragon 8 Gen 5"
- −The exact TOPS figure for the AI engine is not fully disclosed
