Samsung Galaxy S24 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could extremely powerful

The puzzle pieces for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 are gradually falling into place, thanks to leaks and rumors circulating about this flagship phone set to debut in 2024. One of the latest unofficial tidbits we've gleaned pertains to its powerhouse chipset: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

 

Fresh benchmarks, recently leaked and reported by the renowned tipster Digital Chat Station (via Notebookcheck), hint at some seriously impressive processing capabilities. According to these leaked numbers, we're looking at a significant 15% boost in CPU performance and a whopping 39% increase in GPU performance when compared to the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

 

These benchmark scores have been computed using the AnTuTu benchmarking tool, and it's not the first instance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 making headlines in benchmark tests. The chip has also delivered stellar scores on the Geekbench 6 benchmark tests, further emphasizing its potential.

 

It's important to note that while benchmark figures provide valuable insights into a phone's speed and performance, they don't tell the whole story. Several other factors, including RAM and software optimizations, influence a phone's overall performance. Nonetheless, higher benchmark scores typically bode well for a device's speed and capabilities.

 

Qualcomm has yet to officially unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but we can expect a comprehensive reveal at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit event scheduled for Tuesday, October 24. This event should provide us with the official details about the chipset's performance.

 

Once announced, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be poised to power future iterations of top-tier Android phones. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S24, although there are speculations that this chipset might be exclusive to specific regions, primarily the United States.

 

While the Samsung Galaxy S23 exclusively featured Qualcomm CPUs, Samsung has previously employed a combination of Snapdragon and its in-house Exynos chipsets for its flagship lineup. However, rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 Ultra may fully embrace the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset next year.

 

As for whether the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 can outperform Apple's latest A17 Pro chipset, only time will tell. You can explore our reviews of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max for insights into the performance of those devices.
