Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy: Qualcomm tailors exclusive quad-cluster design with higher boost clocks for 2024 Samsung flagships

[Redaktion]

Recent Geekbench leaks point to Qualcomm offering an exclusive quad-cluster configuration for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. While the regular 8 Gen 3 uses a 1+5+2 tri-cluster configuration, the 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy features a 1+3+2+2 quad-cluster with increased boost clocks. This Samsung-exclusive SoC is expected to feature in 2024 Samsung flagships such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra and will likely be made available to other OEMs later that year.

Idiotic. Last thing a tiny volume smartphone needs is higher clocks/more heat = more throttling. It's for moronic benchmark bragging with no benefit to the consumer at all. Qualcomm should either stop licensing ARM IP and do a smarter architecture or stop focusing on peak clock speed as being important at all

Learn how binning works buddy. They're done on 3 of the 5 cores for a reason, the best samples can reach those clocks without more voltage, that's the entire point. Also no, seeing my s20 plus is now tanking in performance with at best, half a year more time than my s7 took. I'll buy into the bs notion that extra performance doesn't help when both phones aren't running very noticeably slower 3 years into their lifespan like my s7 and s20 did.
