Samsung is reportedly working on a custom version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC for its upcoming Galaxy S24 series. This custom chip, likely to be called the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC for Galaxy,” is expected to feature an overclocked GPU, according to a reliable tipster.
Words come from Ice Universe who shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy will have a clock speed of 1GHz or 1,000MHz. This would represent a 28% increase in clock speed over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy SoC used in the Galaxy S23 series.
In addition to the overclocked GPU, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC for Galaxy is also rumored to have an improved CPU clock speed.
In fact, rhe latest Geekbench result shows the prime core on the Galaxy S24 Ultra running at a top speed of 3.4 GHz, which is higher than the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. However, the other Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520 cores run at the same clock speeds.
It is unclear how much of a performance improvement the overclocked GPU and CPU will provide in real-life. The Galaxy S24 series is expected to be released in January 2024, so we will learn more about the devices and their custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC in the coming months.
