Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, posts top Geekbench scores (single-core 3,852; multi-core 11,738), beating the iPhone 17 Pro Max (3,792 / 9,831) and the Exynos 2600 (3,336 / 11,369) in regional variants, signaling a Snapdragon-driven performance edge for Samsung's latest flagships, though Exynos remains in play on some markets with a 2nm process.
Geekbench results show a Galaxy S26 Ultra with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (up to 4.74 GHz) posting 3,601 (single-core) and 10,686 (multi-core). The Exynos 2600 scores 3,336 / 11,369, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max with the A19 Pro posts 3,775 / 9,749. In these tests, the Snapdragon edges the iPhone on multi-core but trails it on single-core, while Exynos leads in multi-core. Final device specs and performance may vary at launch; Galaxy Unpacked is rumored for Feb 25.
Samsung's upcoming Exynos 2700 has appeared in Geekbench 6 with a distinctive 4+1+4+1 deca-core cluster on an ERD device, reportedly mixing next-gen and older cores to test scheduler and architecture, with an OpenCL score below the Exynos 2600 as development continues toward 2nm GAA fabrication and competing with Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Pro.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S948) and Galaxy S26 (SM-S942) surfaced on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 12GB RAM, Adreno 840 GPU, and Android 16. The Ultra shows slightly underclocked high- and mid-core clocks (4.19GHz / 3.63GHz) while the regular S26 runs a mildly overclocked setup (4.74GHz / 3.63GHz); performance on Geekbench is similar. A Feb. 25 launch in San Francisco is teased, with S26+ battery certification recently appearing in tests.
The Exynos 2600, a 2nm Samsung processor with GAA transistors and a deca-core CPU, reportedly benchmarks at Apple M5 levels, indicating a significant performance leap that could position it as a top-tier smartphone chip, especially if the leaked Geekbench scores are accurate. This marks a notable improvement for Samsung's Exynos line, potentially rivaling Apple's M5 and outperforming the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in benchmarks.
Leaked benchmarks suggest that the upcoming M5 iPad Pro and M5 MacBook Air will see significant performance improvements over their predecessors, with the MacBook Air potentially outperforming some higher-end MacBook Pro models, indicating a notable upgrade for users.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has appeared on Geekbench with key specs including a Tensor G5 SoC, 16GB RAM, and Android 16, indicating upcoming release alongside other Pixel 10 series models on August 20. Its benchmark scores suggest performance improvements over previous models, though still below Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phones.
The OnePlus 13R, anticipated for early 2025, has been spotted on Geekbench, revealing it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, similar to the OnePlus 12. The phone will run on OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 and is expected to have 12 GB of RAM, with potential variants offering different RAM and storage options. The 13R is likely to be a more affordable version of the OnePlus 13, with possible upgrades in camera, battery, and display. It will be introduced alongside the global version of the OnePlus 13.
Intel's upcoming Arc B580 "Battlemage" GPU has been spotted on Geekbench, confirming its specifications, including 20 Xe2 cores, 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a max clock speed of 2.85 GHz. The GPU, which is expected to launch soon, scored 78743 points in an early OpenCL benchmark. Despite having fewer cores than its predecessor, the B580 features improved architecture and increased memory size, suggesting potential performance enhancements. The card is designed for modern APIs like DX12 Ultimate and Vulkan, and various AIB editions are already in preparation.
The Samsung Galaxy S25, expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy across all markets, has appeared on Geekbench with 12 GB of RAM. Despite its higher clock speed of 4.47 GHz, the device underwhelms with a single-core score of 2481 and a multi-core score of 8658, which is lower than other Snapdragon 8 Elite devices. This performance gap is attributed to Samsung's focus on efficiency over raw performance in its "For Galaxy" chipsets.
Apple's upcoming M4 Ultra chip is estimated to be significantly faster than its predecessors, with a 32-core CPU and 80-core GPU. In Geekbench 6 multi-core tests, it is projected to outperform AMD's Ryzen 9950X and Intel's Ultra 9 285K, being 50% faster than the M4 Max and 81.3% faster than the M4 Pro. However, these figures are speculative and should be taken with caution until official benchmarks are released.
Apple's transition to its self-designed Silicon chips has resulted in significant performance improvements across generations. Since the M1's debut in 2020, each new chip generation, including the latest M4 series, has shown consistent enhancements in single-core, multi-core, and GPU performance, as evidenced by Geekbench benchmarks. Despite some anomalies, such as the M3 Pro's core configuration and certain GPU results, Apple's chips have generally become faster and more efficient, with expectations of continued advancements in future releases.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra, set for release in the USA, has shown impressive performance in recent Geekbench tests, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The device achieved scores of 3,148 in single-core and 10,236 in multi-core tests, surpassing earlier results and the European S25+ variant, which uses the Exynos 2500 chip. However, these benchmarks are preliminary and may not fully represent the final product's performance.
A new Geekbench leak reveals that AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, set to launch on November 7, is running at a boost clock of 5.46 GHz, surpassing its official specification of 5.2 GHz. This performance boost allows it to outperform its predecessor, the 7800X3D, by 24% in both single-core and multi-core tests. The 9800X3D's impressive scores of 3473 in single-core and 19,216 in multi-core tests highlight its potential as a top-performing CPU in the market.
The international version of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6, confirmed to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset like the US model, has appeared on Geekbench with lower pre-release benchmark scores. Despite this, the performance is expected to align with the US variant upon release.
