Overheating + Throttling = Exynos 990
The fps drop is actually a result of overheating and throttling, this issue has been a part of Exynos chipsets for quite a long time. Do note that, the variant used on the Galaxy S20 Plus is Exynos powered. There are two versions for Galaxy S20 Plus: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 & the Exynos 990 powered. Although, the version powering Snapdragon is only available for the USA and South Korea. Whereas, the Exynos variant is the only option for Asia and the European markets. There are also multiple other cons for the Exynos chipsets including lower battery life compared to Snapdragon version.
Although, according to the latest leaks & rumors Exynos will be getting better in the future. The Galaxy Note 20-series will be powered by a new Exynos 992 which is likely to use a 6nm architecture meaning it will be 1-3% more power-efficient than Snapdragon 865. And for the next Galaxy S smartphone, we may see Exynos 1000 chipset that will be made in collaboration with AMD.
