Exynos 2600 vs Google Tensor G5
Across 12 measured categories, the Exynos 2600 comes out ahead.
I put the Exynos 2600 and the Google Tensor G5 side by side to see how they really compare. On graphics, the Exynos 2600 runs the Samsung Xclipse 960 while the Google Tensor G5 runs the PowerVR DXT-48-1536. Below I go through the CPU, GPU, memory and connectivity, then the benchmark scores, so you can work out which one is the better fit for you.
