Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra benchmarked with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
Samsung is bringing the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a redesigned body, thinner bezels and possibly support for satellite connectivity. We also heard it will be exclusively powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, skyping the Exynos version and while this latest leak doesn"t really confirm that it shows the kind of performance we can expect.
A Galaxy S25 Ultra unit was benchmarked on Geekbench, giving us its first CPU rating and telling us more about the chipset.
The listing revealed the CPU will have 2 cores clocked at 4.2 GHz and 6 more running at up to 2.9 GHz, which is a major upgrade over the predecessor.
The single-core and multi-core results are around 30% higher than they were on the Qualcomm-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra. We also receive a confirmation of the new architecture (2+6), previously seen in an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 version with questionable results.
The SM-938U model number reveals this version will be sold in the United States. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is listed with Android 15 and 12 GB RAM, which were to be expected, although we might also see 16 GB versions.
