Samsung has used a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra this year, instead of their own Exynos chipsets. It is expected that some models in next year’s Galaxy S24 family will have Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. According to Geekbench’s Vulkan test comparison, the Adreno 750 GPU in the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will be significantly faster than the Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
In the alleged Geekbench 6 Vulkan test said to belong to the Galaxy S24+, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC has scored a remarkable 17,031 points. This score is 81.6 percent higher than the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The ongoing Galaxy S23 Ultra’s custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy has scored 9,379 points on the same platform.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC features an Adreno 740 GPU, while the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC is touted to feature the Adreno 750 GPU. As the Geekbench Vulkan benchmark primarily focuses on graphics performance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC could offer a substantial upgrade in that area over its predecessors.
