Galaxy S23 Ultra: A leap in performance compared to the S22 Ultra

Although it is not yet official, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is already undergoing performance tests. Results that are quite encouraging and specifically point to two areas where there has been a big generational leap.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Which is no longer a secret. A preliminary performance test reveals a very noticeable performance difference when compared to the S22 Ultra’s Exynos chip. However, another significant advantage will also help Samsung‘s upcoming premium smartphone.

There are critics of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in Europe. The product in some parts of the world is equipped with a Samsung Exynos 2200 chip. It hasn’t been able to match the performance and efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The European version of the S23 Ultra, which will reportedly use Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, shouldn’t have this problem.

A big improvement in performance for the Galaxy S23 Ultra

The latter was the focus of a test on Geekbench that provided a summary of the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s performance with its new SoC. So, we have the chance to compare it to the S22 Ultra‘s performance on the same test. It is not unexpected that “single core” and “multi core” produce superior performance. However, as noted on Twitter by the insider Ice Universe. This is enough for you to feel this speed on a regular basis, and not just in the scores.

A statement supported by some stunning numbers. This results in a 25% increase in “single core” performance and a 45% increase in “multi core” performance. The improvement in graphics performance is 60%. A rather significant improvement can also be seen in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s energy efficiency. Which is 88% better than the Exynos 2200’s. This might result in a considerable increase in autonomy.

Although Apple’s A16 Bionic appears to be a step ahead, Qualcomm and TSMC appear to have done a great job of providing high end Android products with a really capable chip.

This would result in a more responsive and fluid user interface in addition to improved performance for demanding jobs like video gaming. Additionally, we can anticipate a big increase in autonomy, though this will need confirmation during tests.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra‘s Exynos 2200 processor struggles to maintain a high level of performance when under a lot of pressure. A flaw that the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 does not have, as seen, for instance, on the Xiaomi 12T Pro. Consequently, the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 holds enormous promise for premium Android devices in 2023.
