The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a beast
In what may be one of the first cases of leaks Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 previous tests of mobile processors Qualcomm is releasing its full list of specifications next monthallegedly Galaxy S23 made a cameo on Geekbench, with a processor core score.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor testing
Built on TSMC’s second-generation 4nm processor node, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 can afford peak clock speeds similar to Apple’s A-series chipsets. It reaches 3.36 GHz and, consequently, some very high scores.

- 3 x 2.02 GHz
- 4 x 2.80 GHz
- 1 x 3.36 GHz
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs Apple A16 benchmark test results
Those faster core clocks led to an outstanding first Galaxy S23 benchmark of 1524 in the single-core test and 4597 points in the multi-core test, respectively. By comparison, the S22 scores just above 1200 and 3200 points, respectively.
Not only will the Galaxy S23’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor be very fast, now backed by leaked benchmark evidence, but Qualcomm has reportedly optimized it for efficiency as well.
The second-generation 4nm process in TSMC’s foundries should offer Qualcomm plenty of room to fine-tune power consumption while keeping performance intact. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, codenamed Kalama, has been given the model number SM8550 and as Geekbench readings show, its core paints a rather unusual picture.
In this way, Qualcomm can turn on and off cores with a much more varied power consumption/performance ratio, depending on the task, ensuring optimal battery consumption at all times.
In fact, back in May, a leaker reported that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s performance tests were going very well, outperforming its immediate predecessors in that regard, but we’ll reserve judgment until we get our grubby mitts on the Qualcomm-powered phone. with this latest mobile flagship processor that will be officially launched in November.
