The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 used by Samsung will have an overclocked GPU too

18 November 2022
Geekbench results have already shown that Galaxy S23 models run their Prime CPU core 170MHz faster than other SD 8 Gen 2 phones that were benchmarked.

Sort by:

This really has no sence. CPU uses less power, just to lose all with overclocking...

      yeah yeah but with only 4000mah battery anyway

        Don't care much for battery. Hope the cameras have been improved further.

        The overall camera improvements across all major brands has been only incremental. Very minor improvements, regardless of rhe sensor size. Hopefully the new ISOCELL HPX sensor does wonders for dynamic range, by combining triple exposure. And hope Samsung has worked on the optics too, to help resolve the level of detail necessary for 12-50MP photos.

We know it'll be high performing chipset either way, but overclocking it automatically means lower efficiency. Unless if Samsung plans on giving users mode selection where you can run it at default speeds or overclocked, but only IF you want so. This way you can have best of both worlds. If it's going to be on by default, you can be assured vanilla Galaxy S23 will have terrible battery because it's small.

            KondriX, 18 Nov 2022Why? What are the real benefits of this overclocked version... moreTo run emulators obviously. Also, even SD 8 plus gen 1 can't get stable 60fps in heavy games like Genshin, least alone the next-gen ray-tracing games.

              Until 2025 we will see a update that worth buying Samsung ultra.
              S23 it's actually note 22 ultra, same storage, same zoom different numbers, same 1 tb and 512gb not in storage, still no card support!

                So the one that Samsung gonna put in the S23 will be the plus variant prolly

                  Me on the other hand... Waiting for improved battery tech to greatly improve battery life and for thermals to be managed better.

                        They can put anything they wish to gargantuar Ultra, but I hope normal versions will go to non-brick S23 and S23+

                          Marketing. That's why.

                            and it will throttle after 10 seconds :( great job samsung

                              Why? What are the real benefits of this overclocked version when the standart version is already powerful for every single task for at least 5 years from now on? They better focus on battery and thermal performance because nowadays even a Snapdragon 865 is powerful enough for 99.99% of people.

                                this gonna be have the same fate to exynos

Other bran... moreUsing a Samsung flagship (Galaxy S20+), on the latest One UI 5 update, it runs perfectly fine, even in my past experiences with One UI 2-4, never experienced a stutter. Don't know how could it be poorly made while it's one of the best customed UI in the market right now.

                                    Other brands with very modified android do not have lag issues like galaxy.
                                    Their UIs are just ridiculous iOS copycat, but not slow.

                                      It will burn everything like a real dragon , in a snap.
                                      Samsung : i want my plus right now.
