Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra tipped to exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
According to a report by Korean outlet The Elec, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset exclusively, regardless of the region it's selling in.
The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+, on the other hand, will use either the Exynos 2400 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Units in South Korea and Europe will be Exynos-powered, while those in North America will use a Snapdragon, much like it was in the past.
It's a strategy that will undoubtedly polarize Samsung fans, but perhaps not as much as usual because previously all three Galaxy S models were Exynos or Snapdragon, depending on the region.
Rumors suggest Samsung's newest 4nm LPP+ process is used for the Exynos 2400, and Samsung touts the new chip will be nearly twice as fast in CPU than the Exynos 2200, and nearly 15 times faster in AI performance.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will use TSMC's latest node, but some reports claim that it will have versions on both the 3nm and 4nm process. We'll have to wait until the end of the month to see how that plays out.
