News that global variants of the Galaxy Note 20 will stick with the Exynos 990 would have been met with severe criticism seeing as how Samsung’s flagship SoC fails to beat the Snapdragon 865 in both performance and efficiency. However, not everything needs to be viewed in a negative light because a tipster claims that the Exynos 990 running in the upcoming Galaxy Note 20 will be heavily optimized to match Qualcomm’s high-end chipsets.

Fresh details surrounding the Galaxy Note 20’s innards talk about the Exynos 990 getting thoroughly optimized to go head-to-head with the Snapdragon 865 in both performance as well as thermals. If you recall, the Galaxy S20 Plus powered by an Exynos 990 failed to keep up with an inexpensive Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro in a gaming test, showing the poorly optimized chipset’s weaknesses.
