The Samsung S23 FE featuring the Exynos 2200 would be concluded by many as a terrible decision from Samsung, but a series of tests show that the price-to-performance handset can hold its CPU performance incredibly well. It appears that certain optimizations in the Exynos 2200’s manufacturing process and a cooling solution upgrade may be the reason for this dramatic change in results.
Exynos 2200 running in the Galaxy S23 FE has better performance stability than Google’s Tensor G3
Though we did not get a peek inside the Galaxy S23 FE’s internals, it is possible that the addition of a vapor chamber may have contributed to the Exynos 2200’s performance stability. There is also the likelihood that Samsung used an improved manufacturing process to mass produce the Exynos 2200.
In any case, RON TEK made the Galaxy S23 FE go through a series of benchmarks and stability tests, but we focused on the latter primarily because we wanted to witness the consequences of using a previous-generation silicon that was criticized for heating up. We were genuinely surprised when the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme stress test was finished, with the Galaxy S23 FE able to maintain more than 75 percent of its actual performance.
Even in the CPU throttling test, the Exynos 2200’s performance was reduced to 74 percent of its maximum capability. Here is the interesting bit; the Exynos 2200 actually performs better than the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro running the Tensor G3, which were tested in the regular version of 3DMark’s Wild Life test, not the ‘Extreme’ mode. In previous teardown clips, we noticed that Google did not use a vapor chamber for any of its flagships this year.
Assuming that both the Exynos 2200 and Tensor G3 have been mass produced on Samsung’s 4nm LPP (Low Power Plus) process, then the inclusion of the vapor chamber in the Galaxy S23 FE possibly made all the difference in the world. We will explore more about Samsung’s latest smartphone, but for now, you can check out the entire video above and let us know what you think.
