The Samsung Galaxy S23 was officially launched on February 1, 2023. Inside is the second generation Snapdragon 8 chip – which is apparently even faster than expected.
According to leaked 3DMark Wild Life benchmarks, the Galaxy S23 Ultra achieves twice the performance score of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. But what could it be?
Youtuber shows how strong the new Snapdragon is
Leakers never take long to ask: Shortly after yesterday’s Unpacked event, the first information leaked out. YouTuber Coisa de Nerd has in one Video let the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra compete against its predecessor Galaxy S22 Ultra in the 3DMark Wild Life benchmark – and the results are surprising.

At 3,873 points, the performance score of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is almost twice as high as that of the S22 Ultra (1,912 units). There is only one generation between the two models, but where does the stark difference come from?
Under the hood, the S23 Ultra has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, while the S22 Ultra has the Exynos 2200, which has received a lot of criticism in the past due to its performance and cooling.
Where does the 45 percent higher thrust come from?
Samsung advertises a large one in the press release Vapor Cooling Chamber
, which should guarantee a consistently high speed. Apparently, the Galaxy S23 Ultra keeps what the manufacturer promises.

Even if the performance differences are serious, Samsung’s in-house Exynos chip wins the race in contrast to the Snapdragon in one area: ray tracing. That’s surprising, because better performance should translate to better ray tracing.
A test will have to show whether the realistic light calculation causes problems for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. You will of course read it as soon as the smartphone is released on February 17th.
