With Bajaj Finance, you can convert the cost of your preferred smartphone into Easy EMIs at more than 1.5 lakh+ partner stores, including Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales, making your purchase easier to manage.

The Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 use different processor designs despite sharing a 4nm manufacturing process. Exynos 2400 has a deca-core CPU and Xclipse 940 GPU, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses an octa-core CPU and Adreno GPU. Both support hardware-accelerated ray tracing, on-device artificial intelligence and high-speed 5G connectivity. Their benchmark results also vary by test, so CPU, GPU, efficiency and sustained performance should be considered separately rather than relying on one score.

You can get smartphones through Easy EMIs when an eligible model is available at a partner store. You can visit more than 1.5 lakh+ partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal. Choose your preferred model and use the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan. You can convert the purchase cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget. Zero down payment is available on select models. You can also check loan eligibility online in minutes before visiting the store.

The main questions around these processors involve gaming, AI features, CPU performance and long-term everyday workload handling.

Which processor is better for gaming performance

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 records a higher 3DMark Wild Life Extreme score of 4,676 compared with 3,812 for Exynos 2400 in the cited benchmark comparison. This test focuses on graphics performance, making it useful when assessing demanding 3D workloads. Both processors support hardware-accelerated ray tracing, but their GPUs use different architectures. Snapdragon uses Adreno graphics, while Exynos 2400 uses the AMD RDNA 3-based Xclipse 940 GPU. Actual gaming performance still depends on the phone's cooling system, software and game optimisation.

How do the processors handle artificial intelligence

Both processors include dedicated AI hardware for supported on-device workloads. Exynos 2400 uses an NPU, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses a Hexagon NPU and fused AI accelerator architecture. Samsung highlights on-device translation and AI processing, while Qualcomm supports generative AI and AI-enhanced camera processing. The manufacturers' claimed generational improvements use different comparison baselines, so they should not be treated as direct Exynos 2400 versus Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 benchmark results.

Which processor has more CPU cores

Exynos 2400 has ten CPU cores, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has eight. Exynos uses one Cortex-X4 prime core, four Cortex-A720 performance cores and four Cortex-A520 efficiency cores. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses one prime core, five performance cores and two efficiency cores. A higher core count does not automatically mean higher performance because the core architecture, clock speed, software scheduling and workload also influence results.

Benchmark scores provide a numerical reference for processor performance, but results can differ between devices. Hardware, software optimisation, cooling, memory, and testing conditions can influence final scores.

The figures show that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 records a higher AnTuTu 11 and single-core score, while Exynos 2400 records a higher Geekbench 6 multi-core score.

Smartphones powered by these processors are available across different flagship price segments. The following examples show devices using the exact processors and highlight their prices and key specifications.
