Apple A13 Bionic vs Samsung Exynos 2100 benchmark which processor is better

A13 Bionic vs Exynos 2100

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks Apple A13 Bionic vs Samsung Exynos 2100, speed examination of GPUs Mali-G78 MP14 and Apple A13 Bionic.

This performance comparison includes two processors: A13 Bionic is gexa-core (Icestorm) and Exynos 2100 is octa-core (Cortex-X1). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough review of all the specifications of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests like Vellamo, GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu 8, 3DMark, GFXBench, Quadrant, Octane V2, Neocore, Mozilla Kraken, even the gaming performance of processors in Sniper 3D, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, Minecraft Bedrock, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which CPU is better to buy A13 Bionic or Exynos 2100 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
