Samsung was suspiciously missing from the partner list shared by Qualcomm at the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 launch event. However, as most observers must have suspected, it is being reported that Galaxy S23 will in fact come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. But, it won’t be the regular variant but an “high-frequency version”. The news comes from tipster Ice Universe. Here’s what he says:
Breaking！ The best moment for European users has arrived. The European version of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is confirmed to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, and it is a high-frequency version exclusive to Samsung. Please enjoy it. pic.twitter.com/w6DqCdH30b
— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) November 16, 2022So, the exclusive over-powered Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be allotted to the Samung Galaxy S23 that will be sold in the European market. We can also see a screenshot of the Samsung Galaxy S23’s Geekbench performance.
The device has scored 1504 points in the single-core test and 4580 score in multi-cores test.
The image shared by Ice Universe also reveals a few other key details of the Galaxy S23 in testing.
For one, the Galaxy S23 is shown to be running on Android 13 and has a RAM memory of 6.94 GB.
The underlying chip has got a prime core running at 3.36GHz. It is accompanied by 4 performance cores clocked at 2.80GHz, and 3 efficiency cores capped at 2.02GHz frequency.
Meanwhile, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 core structure announced by Qualcomm includes a prime core (Cortex X3) @3.2GHz, four performance cores @2.8GHz, and three efficiency cores @2.0GHz.
So, the prime core is running at a slightly boosted frequency but it isn’t faster by a big margin. So, we don’t how much of a real-world gain it would offer to the Samsung Galaxy S23 buyers in Europe or whichever market this particular variant will be sold in.
Also, needless to say, we are still some time away from the Galaxy S23 launch and the model in question could very well be a prototype.
