The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is set to be a formidable Android powerhouse in 2024, but recent benchmarks on Geekbench 6 have revealed that it may not be as mighty as initial leaks had suggested.
Geekbench 6 results have surfaced for a device bearing the model number “Samsung SM-S928U,” which is widely believed to be the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The benchmark showcases a single-core performance score of 2,234 and a multi-core score of 6,807.
While these scores represent a healthy improvement over the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which currently averages at 1,881 for single-core and 4,985 for multi-core performance, they fall short of an earlier leak that hinted at multi-core scores nearing 7,400 for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
A score of that magnitude would have potentially outperformed even the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which currently boasts an average multi-core score of 7,158 (along with a single-core score of 2,884). However, the actual benchmark results remain a bit below Apple’s top phone.
On the downside, the benchmark also reveals that the Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with just 8GB of RAM, which may seem rather limited for Samsung’s flagship. Nevertheless, this aligns with the configuration of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it’s likely that higher RAM variants will also be available.
On a brighter note, the device is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is expected to outperform the Exynos 2400, an alternative chipset rumored for some phones in the Galaxy S24 lineup. Recent leaks have indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will indeed feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, aligning with the information from this benchmark.
