Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Spotted on Geekbench; Beats Apple A18 Pro

Just before the Snapdragon Summit event which is scheduled next month,Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultrahas arrived on Geekbench, packing the Oryon-powered Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. This is most likely the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy chipset, which brings slightly higher clock speeds across the CPU and GPU.

In the leaked Geekbench 6.3listing, the S25 Ultra has scored 3,069 points in single-core tasks and 9,080 points in multi-threaded tasks. Geekbench further reveals the CPU cluster and clock speeds. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy packs 2x Oryon cores clocked at 4.19GHz and 6x Oryon cores clocked at 2.90GHz.Geekbench 6.3 CPUSnapdragon 8 Gen 4 on OnePlus 13 (likely pre-production test)Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 on S25 UltraApple A18 ProSingle-core3,2363,0693,358Multi-core10,0499,0808,184

Earlier, Digital Chat Station onWeiborevealed that theSnapdragon 8 Gen 4 on the upcoming OnePlus 13can amp up the frequency up to an unprecedented 4.32GHz, but it seems the test was done on a pre-production unit. So far, only theApple A18 Prohas surpassed the 4GHz barrier in mobile phones, running 2x performance cores at 4.05GHz.

According to rumors, the standard version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may go up to 4.09GHz and the Galaxy variant is said to get a 100MHz boost, reaching up to 4.19GHz, which is in line with the current leak.

It seems the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may not be able to outperform the A18 Pro in single-core tasks, but due to eight CPU cores on the SD 8 Gen 4 (vs six on the A18 Pro), Qualcomm may beat Apple in multi-core performance.
