Subj : The Samsung Galaxy S24 could be even more powerful than the iPhon To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Sep 21 2023 11:45:03 The Samsung Galaxy S24 could be even more powerful than the iPhone 15 Pro Max Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 10:24:51 +0000 Description: The Samsung Galaxy S24 series reportedly performs better in benchmarks than the iPhone 15 Pro line. FULL STORY ====================================================================== There are lots of things that Android arguably does better than iPhone, but one area in which Apples handsets consistently have the edge is in Geekbench benchmark performance, with Apples top chipsets beating anything available to Android in a given year. However, that might change with the Samsung Galaxy S24 . This is according to @Tech_Reve a leaker with a respectable track record posting on X (formerly known as Twitter). Specifically, they said that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, which is the chipset expected to power at least some Galaxy S24 models, achieves a multi-core result of 7,400 clarifying in a reply that this is in Geekbench 6. Geekbench 6 is a benchmarking platform, and arguably the main benchmark for smartphone chipsets (we use it for all of our smartphone reviews), so this is a number thats worth paying at least a little attention to. Its also a very high number, with initial iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max benchmarks tending to range between 7,100 and 7,300. 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy's multicore reaches 7400 points. September 20, 2023 See more There are some outliers, including a few that exceed 7,400, but it looks like the average will be comfortably under 7,400, which would likely make the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy slightly more powerful (at least for multi-core tasks) if this leak is right. That would be quite a change. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has an average multi-core score of 4,976, while the iPhone 14 Pro averages 6,406, so Apples phone scores dramatically higher than Samsungs, and thats the sort of gulf were used to seeing. As such, for them even to be close in this next generation let alone the Samsung Galaxy S24 line scoring higher would be remarkable. Don't get too excited There are a few things to note here, though. First of all, given how remarkable it would be, wed take this claim with a pinch of salt. Its also possible that as more iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max benchmarks are run well see the average scores increase. Then theres the fact that this is just multi-core scores were talking about, so the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxys single-core results may still be lower as might its performance in other benchmarks. So even if this pans out it wouldnt guarantee the chipset is more powerful than the A17 Pro (used in the iPhone 15 Pro line) in all circumstances. Finally, theres the fact that leaks suggest Samsung might not use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in all Galaxy S24 models. Some models in some regions might instead use Samsungs own Exynos 2400, which may well be less powerful though this same source has said that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in all regions , so Samsungs top phone may fittingly get the top chipset. Regardless of what happens though, all of the Galaxy S24 models should be extremely powerful, and we already know that Apple's phones are, with our iPhone 15 Pro Max review noting that it delivers "fantastic performance." As for the Samsung Galaxy S24 line, well likely find out for sure how well these phones benchmark in either January or February, as thats when Samsungs next best phone contenders are expected to launch.
