As the name implies, this processor is specifically designed for the Galaxy S23 with various capabilities.
According to Samsung, compared to previous processors, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy has an increase in GPU up to 41% faster and the NPU needed to process AI (Artificial Intelligent) increases by up to 40%. Meanwhile, in the graphics processing (CPU) sector, the performance is 30% more powerful.
The following is a summary of the 3 advantages of the processor according to Samsung:
41% faster performance for productivity and multitasking
The Galaxy S23 Series 5G is armed with a processor that has a performance that is 41% faster than the Galaxy S22 Series 5G. This is claimed because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is the fastest Snapdragon processor at the moment and offers different performance from the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
This chipset has gone through a process of increasing performance with a clock speed of 3.36 GHz, making Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy the fastest chipset currently.
This allows Galaxy S23 Series 5G users to be productive while on-the-go. Users from various backgrounds, from office employees to startup founders, can edit documents via Microsoft 365 and Google Suite or access other productivity apps without lag. Creative workers can also use various editing or design tools comfortably. Moving applications or running several at once can be smooth.
A powerful gaming experience thanks to the Qualcomm Adreno GPU
Thanks to this powerful processor, Galaxy S23 Series 5G users can play games smoothly, even games that require high graphics processing, such as Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile. The gaming experience cannot be separated from the performance of the latest generation Qualcomm Adreno GPU which results in an increase in clock speed from 680 MHz to 719 MHz.
On the Galaxy S23 Series 5G, gamers can see photorealistic quality human characters with the support of the Unreal Engine 5 Metahumans Framework. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is also equipped with the Snapdragon Game Post Processing Accelerator which adds effects such as bloom, depth of field, motion blur, and others.
Samsung has equipped the S23 Series 5G with a larger vapor cooling chamber for continuous gaming without overheating. Specifically, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G features ray-tracing technology to produce more realistic renders. This technology complements the spacious 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X QHD + screen and a responsive 240Hz touch sampling rate.
High-level processing for content quality
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is designed to make the Galaxy S23 Series 5G provide quality content results every time. This is manifested by a more efficient NPU architecture of up to 49%. So, even though it has power from a higher CPU clock speed, the Galaxy S23 Series 5G also offers more efficient use of power in carrying out various high-level processing to process images.
The ability to accommodate high-level processing is maximized for shooting in various situations. When shooting in low light, the device is able to reduce noise more optimally, supported by improved Nightography technology. When taking portrait photos, the device can get a more natural bokeh, supported by the Cognitive ISP from Snapdragon which is able to recognize objects in the frame better to create a smoother blur effect.
The powerful performance also allows users to maximize renewable camera technology such as the Adaptive Pixel 200MP to get high-resolution photos in every condition, Expert RAW to produce RAW format photos, to record 8K videos.
