Samsung have announced their latest affordable 5G chipset which is not that much different than the Exynos 980 that was launched back at IFA 2019 and features in the popular Samsung Galaxy A71 5G and A51 5G.

Samsung Exynos 880 vs Samsung Exynos 980

So there is not much difference between the two chipsets. They are both the same design, but the Exynos 980 has 10% higher clocks on the two A77 cores at 2.2Ghz. The GPU spec remains the same but we don’t know the frequency.

However, camera, video and display specs differ with the Exynos 990 being able to go up to WQHD+ (3360×1440) on the display then a single camera up to 108MP and 4K UHD 120fps encoding and decoding

Samsung Exynos 880 vs Snapdragon 765G vs MediaTek Dimensity 800

CPU & Fabrication Process

Samsung use the 8NM fabrication process for their Exynos 880 and 990 whereas the other companies all use the smaller 7nm process.

However, Samsung are the only company to use the new Arm Cortex A77 cores on the CPUs. Technically there is the MediaTek Dimensity 1000l too, which has a batter spec, but that is only used on one phone which is only available in China.

Exynos 880:

• 2x Cortex-A77 @ 2.2GHz
• 6x Cortex-A55 @ 1.8GHz

Snapdragon 765G

• 1x Kryo 475 Prime (CA76)@ 2.4GHz (765G)
• 1x Kryo 475 Gold (CA76) @ 2.2GHz
• 6x Kryo 475 Silver (CA55)@ 1.8GHz

Dimensity 800

• 4x Cortex A76 @ 2.6GHz
• 4x Cortex A55 @ 2.0GHz

GPU

For the GPU the Samsung uses last years flagship Mali G76 with 5 cores, Qualcomm use their own Adreno 620.

Then MediaTek use the new but upper mid-range Arm Mali-G57 with 4 cores.

Benchmarks

We don’t have benchmarks of the Exynos 880 yet, but it should be a little lower than the similarly specked Exynos 990 which scores 332400 in Antutu

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G scores 298925 on the Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G

It has been reported that the Oppo A92s which uses the MediaTek 800 achieves a score if 325776

So the Exynos 880 should hold its own against the Qualcomm but be a bit behind the MediaTek
