The new year is upon us, and among the first major releases will be Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S23 family<\/a>. We already know a lot about these devices, thanks to leaks and Samsung\u2019s predictable update cycle, but the performance uplift compared to the S22 might be a nice surprise. According to a new leak, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in Samsung\u2019s new phones will boost CPU, GPU, and AI processing by double-digit margins.<\/p>\n

For the past several years, Samsung has split its flagship devices between Qualcomm Snapdragon and its own Exynos chips. While most markets got Snapdragon, South Korea and Europe had to make do with Exynos, which has lagged behind Qualcomm. An agreement between Samsung and Qualcomm<\/a> earlier this year promised more Qualcomm-based Samsung phones, and it sounds like that means everyone will get Snapdragon-based S23 phones.<\/p>\n

According to the latest leaks, that\u2019s a very good thing. Samsung leaker Ahmed Qwaider says that the Gen 2 chip in Samsung\u2019s next flagship will have 36% faster CPU performance, 48% faster graphics rendering, and 60% higher AI throughput.<\/p>\n

The CPU numbers are both believable and impressive. When it announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Qualcomm claimed a theoretical 35% CPU boost, but that\u2019s based on reference hardware testing<\/a>. Consumer devices often suffer from thermal throttling, and this was especially noticeable with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Qwaider has also claimed Samsung has a new cooling setup that enables a small overclock for the Gen 2 chip<\/a>, as well. If Samsung managed anything like the claimed CPU uplift, that would make a noticeable difference, particularly with prolonged use.<\/p>\n

Incredible performance of @Snapdragon<\/a> 8 Gen2 in #GalaxyS23Ultra<\/a> S23+\/S23<\/p>\n

?CPU 36%
?GPU 48%
?NPU 60%<\/p>\n

The 4nm processor with cooling systems will improve performance battery consumption&heat under heavy use<\/p>\n

In my opinion enjoy always have Snapdragon with Samsung? pic.twitter.com\/l5YYs29yjV<\/a><\/p>\n

The 48% GPU performance boost is a little harder to swallow, but it\u2019s not outside the realm of possibility. Qualcomm said the new Adreno 740 GPU is about 25% faster in some benchmarks, plus it has support for the latest Vulkan API and ray tracing. The GPU in Samsung\u2019s version of the Gen 2 is supposed to be mildly overlocked as well, but that wouldn\u2019t account for all the gains. It\u2019s possible this 48% claim is based on benchmarks that lean on the API improvements present in the new chip, plus less thermal throttling.<\/p>\n

Better AI performance is theoretically nice, but it won\u2019t make a big difference in daily use. For what it\u2019s worth, benchmarks on reference devices showed a more modest boost to AI processing. A 60% jump would be closer to what we say between the Snapdragon 888 and the 8 Gen 1.<\/p>\n

This is all still just speculative \u2014 we won\u2019t know anything for sure until Samsung reveals the devices in February. Even then, we\u2019ll have to get our hands on the phone to confirm any of these performance metrics are sustainable under load.<\/p>\n
