So far this year, a considerable number of processors have been launched on the market, and it is always curious to know the differences between them and some of those that have come out in previous years. Samsung launched the Exynos 880 a few months ago and, to see how the processors develop or lag, we decided to compare it with two processors from another big technology company, Qualcomm. Welcome to the new Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G comparison!

Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G – Release Date Comparison

Before talking about their specs, let’s talk a bit about when these processors were released. The Exynos 880 is the most recent, as it was released on May 26 of this year. In second place we have the Snapdragon 730G, which saw the light of the market last year on April 9, 2019 and, finally, being the “oldest” we have the Snapdragon 765G, which was presented on December 6, 2019.

Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G – Process Comparison

First off let us start with the process technology which determines the power consumption and performance of the SoC. Keep in mind the lower the number the better is the performance as well as battery life efficiency. First, we have the Snapdragon 765G which is based on a 7nm LPP EUV process, not only is the most updated, but it is also one of the most used in the current market. With that being said, both the Exynos 880 and the Snapdragon 730G are based in an 8nm FinFET process, that although it is not as updated as the 7nm, it still presents a great quality.

Winner: Snapdragon 765G

Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G – CPU Comparison

Starting with the CPU section, the Exynos 880 has a dual-cluster design (2 + 6) CPU, which consists of the following:

• 2 x high-performance ARM Cortex A77 cores running at a speed of 2.0GHz
• 6 x low-performance ARM Cortex A55 cores running at a speed of 1.8GHz

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 765G has an odd tri-cluster design (1+1+6), which consists of the following:

• 1 x high-performance Kryo 475 Prime Cortex A76 running at a speed of 2.4GHz
• 1 x high-performance Kryo 475 Gold Cortex A76 running at a speed of 2GHz

Lastly, the Snapdragon 730G has a dual-cluster design (2 + 6) CPU, which consists of the following:

• 2 x high-performance ARM Cortex A76 running at a speed of 2.0GHz
• 6 x low-performance ARM Cortex A55 running at a speed of 1.8GHz

Ranking each SoC in CPU performance of this Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G comparison, the Snapdragon 730G comes in the last place because:

• Outdated Cortex A76 cores

The Exynos 880 and SD 765G are considered tie here because:

• SD 765G has a frequency boost of 2.4GHz for the highest core
• Exynos 880 matches the performance of SD 765G upper and mid cores with the latest two Cortex A77 cores

Winner: Tie (Exynos 880 and Snapdragon 765G)

Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G – GPU Comparison

Inside of the GPU in Exynos 880, there is an ARM Mali-G76 MP5, which promises “3D graphics with high frame rate in games”, APIs and various optimizations for on-screen graphics. It debuts an image signal processor that supports up to five individual sensors for cameras and can process three sensors.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 765G has upgraded its GPU from Adreno 618 to 620 which has a speed of 625MHz; moreover, it’s overclocked as well compared to the standard Snapdragon 765 (18% better graphics). The 765G’s Adreno 620 GPU has 38% better performance than the Adreno 618 in the 730G. And don’t forget about the gaming optimizations done for this SoC.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 730G works with the Adreno 618, manufactured by Qualcomm itself, which has a speed of 700MHz. That being said, this processor has been overclocked to offer between 15% and 25% more power.

Winner: Snapdragon 765G

Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G – AnTuTu Benchmark Comparison

First, the Snapdragon 765G processor has managed to obtain an impressive score of 302,847 points.

On the second place we have the Exynos 880 that scores around 293,236 points on AnTuTu v8.

Last but not least we have the Snapdragon 730G processor that scored a total of 259,109 points.

Winner: Snapdragon 765G

Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs SD 730G – AI Comparison

Relating to this category, inside the Exynos 880 are a built-in NPU and DSP for on-device AI processing and both share a driver and DMA (direct memory access) for faster and more efficient performance.

Now, talking about the Snapdragon 765G, Qualcomm’s fifth-generation AI engine found inside is carried partially intact, featuring the Hexagon 696 DSP with a dedicated Tensor Throttle. The setup has 5.5 TOPS of AI compute, that’s roughly a third of the 15 TOPS that can be seen on the SD865, but not that far from the 7.5 TOPS found inside the SD 855. Basically, this processor has a very decent AI performance.

With that said, the Snapdragon 730G incorporates the Hexagon 688 DSP to move artificial intelligence code, and adds the Vector eXtensions, in addition to the Hexagon Tensor Accelerator. That means that the chip is not only responsible for coordinating the rest of the processor but also has a specific execution unit. And to top it off, we have a neural processing SDK also included.

To rank the AI performance, we will consider the official AI-benchmark rankings:

• SD 765G – 25.0 points
• Exynos 880 – 18.8 points
• SD 730G – 19.5 points

Winner: Snapdragon 765G
