exact same

Not different whatsoever

Exact same is an emphatic way of saying "the same," stressing complete identity between two things: We had the exact same thought, She wore the exact same dress.

Though sometimes criticized as redundant, the phrase is standard in casual speech and adds emphasis that "same" alone lacks.
