According to leaks from Yogesh Brar and Ice Universe, the performance of the Samsung Galaxy S24 could differ significantly from other phones that are said to use the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset And that's because the "For Galaxy" version, which is supposed to be exclusive to Samsung's 2024 flagship phone, will run faster in some areas and slower in others

The good news is that the new "For Galaxy" version of the chip is said to have a faster prime CPU core and GPU; the CPU's highest performance core is 34GHz in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy compared to the base chip's 33GHz chip runs at 34GHz and the GPU runs at 1000MHz instead of 900MHz like the standard one

What may be bad news, however, is that other performance and efficiency cores within the CPU will run at slower speeds According to Brar, the remaining seven cores in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy will run at 315GHz, 296GHz, and 227GHz instead of 319GHz, 30GHz, and 23GHz in the base version

If the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy exists, then Samsung has definitely worked with chipmaker Qualcomm to tune the silicon to meet its requirements And those requirements, it seems, were high top-end performance but low standard output

This may be to reduce heat generation and power consumption during normal use However, we will only know for sure when we see some test results after the phone is launched, as with rival devices that seem to use the standard 8 Gen 3 chip, such as the OnePlus 12 [Rumor has it that Samsung will use its own Exynos chip in at least the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus series, with the exception of the Galaxy S24 Ultra

This is different from the current Galaxy S23 series, which uses Snapdragon chips worldwide, but is in line with the Galaxy S22 and earlier models, with US users getting more powerful Snapdragon silicon in Galaxy S phones and settled for the less effective Exynos variant in the rest of the world

The Galaxy S24 series is rumored to launch in January, a bit earlier than expected Normally, we would expect new Galaxy S phones around February, but if Samsung wants to announce a new model early, since it is likely to be the best phone, given the rumors of a titanium frame, LTPO displays on all models, and a new 50MP telephoto camera for Ultra, I'm not complaining
