This year, Samsung fitted the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra with a bespoke Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, abandoning the company's in-house Exynos chipsets. Some devices in next year's Galaxy S24 series are believed to be powered by Qualcomm's forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. While we wait for the official announcement, Geekbench's Vulkan test comparison suggests that the undisclosed Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC's Adreno 750 GPU will be significantly quicker than the Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC achieved a whopping 17,031 points in the supposed Geekbench 6 Vulkan test for the Galaxy S24+. This is an 81.6 percent higher score than the Galaxy S23 Ultra. On the same platform, the continuing Galaxy S23 Ultra's unique Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy has scored 9,379 points.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC includes an Adreno 740 GPU, however the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC is expected to include an Adreno 750 GPU. Because the Geekbench Vulkan benchmark is largely concerned with graphics performance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC might provide a significant improvement over its predecessors.
The Vulkan test performance of Geekbench 6 will not be mirrored in every test and real-world performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The rumored Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC is also predicted to exceed its predecessor by a wider margin, thanks to its bigger vapour chamber, which may lead to higher scores.
In January of next year, Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones. Instead of aluminum, it might have Titanium frames. Early rumors stated that the Galaxy S24 and S24+ will use an Exynos chip in select territories, including as Canada and the United States, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra would have a Snapdragon chip in all markets. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC powered all Galaxy S23 devices released globally.
