Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 specs on Samsung Galaxy S24+
While we can reasonably expect a tailored Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor for the Galaxy S24 series, just as Qualcomm and Samsung partnered on for their S23 predecessors, the processor core distribution is likely to remain the same as the “regular” 8 Gen 3 for other phones.
- 2x ARM A5xx “Silver” cores codenamed “Hayes”
- 3x ARM A7xx “Gold” cores codenamed “Hunter”
- 2x ARM “Hunter” A7xx “Titanium” cores
- 1x ARM “Hunter ELP” Xx “Gold+” core
In addition, the GPU is listed as Adreno 750, a step up from the Adreno 740 on the Galaxy S23 family which turned out pretty good under pressure and delivers sustained continuous performance.
Samsung Galaxy S23 vs Galaxy S24 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 speed benchmark
As you can see from the comparison with the “for Galaxy” Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on the S23+, the S24+ performance score in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 benchmark is higher. This is likely brought about by the higher clock speed of the upper cores, and is a welcome development nonetheless.
The fact that Samsung and Qualcomm may have deemed a higher Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 clock speed possible could mean that they have run the load tests and determined it won’t overheat or enter throttling mode. This could bode well for a possible 3nm process of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, meaning that the S24 phones will be even more power-sipping than their predecessors.
