Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 running in Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series gets a CPU and GPU clock speed boost that allows the SoC to register higher performance in some tasks. Dubbed the ‘Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy,’ the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy slated to arrive next year could offer the highest single-core performance for any device, beating the A17 Bionic, at least according to a tipster.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy could achieve a single-core performance score that crosses 2,000, but that could be while using an older version of Geekbench
On Twitter, RGcloudS started a comprehensive thread, talking about Samsung’s and TSMC’s next-generation manufacturing nodes. Inside that thread, we spotted that he was talking about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, which is Qualcomm’s higher-performing Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant exclusively meant for Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup next year. The tipster claims that the new SoC will be able to deliver a single-core result of 2,000 points, beating the A17 Bionic.
Given that Geekbench 6 recently launched, he is likely referring to the scores obtained by the upcoming chipset while running Geekbench 5. For reference, the A16 Bionic scores around 1,800+ points, and with the A17 Bionic expected to focus on power-efficiency rather than performance, there is a possibility that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy becomes the new smartphone king of single-core performance.
Tipster suggests the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy could end up beating the A17 Bionic next year in the single-core department
An earlier alleged single-core and multi-core leak of the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was published last week, showing that the SoC demolishes the A16 Bionic in both tests and gets a single-core score of 1,930. Given that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy will likely run at higher CPU and GPU clock speeds, it is not difficult to believe that the latter will break the 2,000 single-core score barrier when running Geekbench 5.
The only question is who will Qualcomm choose to mass manufacture the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3; TSMC or Samsung? It is possible that Qualcomm adopts a dual-sourcing approach, where both TSMC and Samsung are involved, but it is too early to make assumptions, just like it is too early to hype up the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. As such, treat this information with a pinch of salt for now and we will back with more updates.
