The folks over at Android Authority were able to get their hands on Basemark’s new In Vitro gaming test suite. They ran the benchmark on the Exynos 2200-equipped Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-equipped Redmagic 8 Pro to check how mobile chips perform in raytracing performance.
At 1080p resolution, the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Exynos 2200 chipset performed better, with an average frame rate of 21.6fps (lows of 16.4fps and highs of 30.3fps). The Redmagic 8 Pro, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, returned with an average frame rate of 17.6fps (lows of 13.3fps and highs of 42fps). This means the Exynos 2200 is a more reliable performer of the two despite being a year older.
The folks over at Android Authority ran a raytracing stress test that included 20 continuous runs of the In Vitro test. Even here, the Exynos 2200 performed better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 up until 17 test runs and then throttled the performance to manage heat. Still, the Exynos 2200’s average frame rate was 16.9fps versus the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s average frame rate of 14.9fps. That says a lot about the Exynos chipset’s Xclipse 920 GPU. Despite being a year older, it defeated the Adreno 740 GPU inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. However, in rasterization, the Snapdragon is clearly faster.
