MagyarSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Early GPU benchmarks show massive improvements between Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets
A YouTuber has already demonstrated performance differences between European versions of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra. To recap, Samsung equipped the Galaxy S22 Ultra with the Exynos 2200 in Europe, a maligned chipset for which the company has provided no direct successor. Instead, Samsung has replaced the Exynos 2200 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, a higher-clocked version of Qualcomm's flagship smartphone chipset.
While we have not put the Galaxy S23 Ultra through its paces yet, Coisa de Nerd has shown the gulf in GPU performance between it and its predecessor. For example, the Galaxy S23 Ultra achieved 3,873 points in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. In other words, the Galaxy S23 Ultra scores more than twice as much in the same test as the Galaxy S22 Ultra with the Exynos 2200 and the Xclipse 920, an AMD RDNA 2-derived GPU.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra outperforms all its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered peers too. According to our database, the latter's Adreno 740 GPU averages 3,707 points in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, roughly a 5% shortfall on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. For reference, we have observed the Adreno 740 achieving between 3,647 and 3,733 points in this test, so the Galaxy S23 Ultra appears to be between 4-6% faster than its contemporaries here.
In short, the Galaxy S23 Ultra should offer significantly better GPU performance than its predecessor in Europe. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy could even give the Galaxy S23 Ultra an edge over the likes of the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro too, which are expected to launch globally later this month during MWC 2023.
