The Zenfone 11 Ultra has yet to launch, yet is already slated to ditch the distinctively compact form-factor of its predecessors at this event for one with the same Asus laptop camuflage and blocky camera hump of the ROG Phone 8 series. However, if a new Geekbench listing is to be believed, a consolation prize for fans of smaller phones is on the way.

There are 2 versions of the new top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor out there: one with 3 clusters of ARM cores with a top speed of 3.19GHz, and one with the updated 4-cluster layout in which the single fastest core goes up to 3.3GHz. 

Some SKUs of Asus' new flagship smartphone range are saddled with the 'slower' 8 Gen 3, according to Geekbench, at least. However, there are others with the with the new, 'faster' 2+2+3+1 layout, such as the "ASUS_AI2401_D", or ROG Phone 8 Pro - and the ASUS_AI2401_H, or Zenfone 11 Ultra.

Therein lies some comfort for fans of the Zenfone 10's design: the 11 Ultra that reportedly heralds its demise by adopting a 'non-gamer' version of Asus' latest, most laptop-inspired smartphone form-factor on its launch might make up for that by allegedly packing the full-fat version of the 8 Gen 3.

Then again, the "8 Pro" (or "Ultimate" after all, perhaps?) on Geekbench has 24GB of RAM, whereas the "11 Ultra" has 16GB.
