For context, the Apple A18 Pro processor scored 3554 in single-core tests and 8855 in multi-core tests. This indicates that the multi-core score of the Galaxy S25 Ultra exceeds that of the Apple A18 Pro by a significant margin.

It’s worth noting that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor‘s Geekbench scores might experience further enhancements as this could be a pre-optimized chipset. Nevertheless, the current figures are already remarkable.

Additionally, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has purportedly outperformed the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s A18 Pro chipset by a substantial margin in the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme GPU performance test, suggesting that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will enhance this lead.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be the slimmest smartphone since the Note20 Ultra and even slimmer than previously anticipated. Samsung is likely to unveil top-tier display and camera upgrades for this device, along with potential design tweaks.
