This year, the new Galaxy S series finally happened to run a single SoC worldwide. No Exynos version anymore. There is only Snapdragon. But that doesn’t mean the new Galaxy S23 series will stand out from the crowd. .
This is because both the CPU and GPU are overclocked to provide slightly higher performance than other phones with the same chipset on the market.But how much difference does it make mosquito?
SD 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy features the same CPU configuration with 1x Cortex-X3, 2x Cortex-A715, 2x Cortex-A710 and 3x Cortex-A510 cores, but the main Cortex-X3 core runs at 3.2GHz clocked at 3.36 GHz instead of The same applies to GPUs. The Adreno 740 here is running at 719 MHz instead of the usual 680 MHz.
But without further ado, let’s dive into some early benchmarks. Notably, he only chose phones with 1440p displays when possible, so you can get more comparable results in the on-screen graphics test.

The Geekbench 5 CPU test results may surprise some, but why the Galaxy S23 Ultra leads the nubia Red Magic 8 Pro in the single-core test and lags behind the nubia Red Magic 8 Pro in the multi-core test? I can fully explain. – Core scenario. First, the Cortex-X3 inside the S23 Ultra has a higher clock and second, the large Cortex-X3 core is not used in multi-core tests. So the Red Magic 8 Pro may have a slight advantage over the Galaxy with a stronger cooling system that allows the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to run in a higher gear.

In the AnTuTu test, the Galaxy S23 Ultra lags behind the Red Magic 8 Pro. This is because the Red Magic 8 Pro has his 1080p+ screen, which requires less processing power to render the test. After all, AnTuTu 9 is a compound test. However, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a clear advantage over the OnePlus 11 running the same chipset and his 1440p+ screen. Higher clocked CPUs and GPUs pay off.
The new Snapdragon is significantly faster than the old Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and the A16 Bionic inside the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

When it comes to GPU-intensive tasks, the Galaxy version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the clear winner. In nearly all off-screen tests, the Galaxy S23 Ultra led the rest, falling only short in on-screen tests when challenged by lower-resolution phones.
Overall, the new Galaxy S23 series is a significant upgrade over its predecessors, regardless of version. Consumers are likely to benefit the most.
To put it into perspective, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is 30-35% faster than the Galaxy S22 Ultra in the CPU test, and about 30% faster even when combined with the AnTuTu 9 benchmark. Across the GFX Bench and 3DMark GPU tests, the Galaxy S23 Ultra sometimes doubled in performance, but in most scenarios it’s an 80-90% improvement.
In addition to its already excellent synthetic performance, the Galaxy S23 series also boasts improved cooling capabilities. This has been a problem for some users in the past. .
