Please enjoy it. pic.twitter.com/w6DqCdH30b — Ice universe (@UniverseIce) November 16, 2022 Ice universe published an alleged benchmark test from Geekbench 5, showing the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra (model number SM-S918B) achieving a 1,504 single-core score and a 4,580 multi-core score while running Android 13 natively. These scores are slightly lower than we have seen before. The prototype tested had 8GB of RAM. The Cortex-X3-based Kryo Prime core appears to be running at 3.36GHz, up from 3.2GHz in the non-Samsung version of the SoC, although the frequencies of the other seven cores are unchanged. It’s unclear how much of a difference this will make in real-life usage scenarios, but it’ll certainly be a nice thing for Samsung to brag about. Source
