When it comes to performance improvements this year, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Galaxy’s GPU is the one to keep an eye on. A new Vulkan test comparison reveals that the most recent graphics processor extends that lead to more than twice the aforementioned value. Previously, it was claimed that the Adreno 750 found in Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC was 40% faster than the Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
An previous result claimed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy was evaluated in Geekbench 6’s Vulkan benchmark, and that this SoC is 10% quicker than the Xclipse 940 GPU in the Exynos 2400.
While the performance of both chipsets under OpenCL is same, critics frequently point out the distinctions between the newest silicon and its forerunner.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performs noticeably worse in the same tests done on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and the graph below demonstrates that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy is more than eighty percent faster in this area. This is conceivably the largest performance advantage for a single generation, and Apple’s A17 Pro was unable to match the A16 Bionic in this regard.
Even more intriguing is the fact that the Galaxy S24 Plus was used for the Vulkan test rather than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This shows that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 outperformed its predecessor by a wide margin even with a possibly smaller cooling system. The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s larger vapor chamber should result in higher scores, thus we anticipate seeing a larger difference when the same SoC is used in that device. Remember that not all tests, like ray tracing or even Genshin Impact, will reveal this 80+ percent difference, therefore we must have reasonable expectations from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
