But how powerful is the Galaxy S23 Ultra with the overclocked version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2?
Samsung has used the “Snapdragon 8 generation 2 for Galaxy” chip for the Galaxy S23 series, which has a higher CPU and GPU frequency than the standard version. This chip uses one Cortex-X3 core, two Cortex-A715 cores, two Cortex-A710 cores and three Cortex-A510 cores, which frequency Cortex-X3 core It goes up to 3.36 GHz instead of 3.2 GHz. Also the frequency of the graphics processor Adreno 740 It uses 719 MHz instead of 680 MHz.
