Samsung S22 Ultra spotted on Geekbench with Exynos 2200 processor
Samsung is expected to launch its flagship Galaxy S22 series on February 8. The line-up will include the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra models. In the latest development, the top-end S22 Ultra, with model number SM-S908B, has been spotted on Geekbench platform. As per the listing, the device will come with an Exynos 2200 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and Android 12 support.
Why does it matter?
Geekbench is a popular benchmarking platform used to determine a processor's performance. As compared to the current-generation Exynos 2100 in Galaxy S21 Ultra, the Exynos 2200 has achieved a lower single-core score but a higher multi-core score. It has also beaten Google Tensor's multi-core performance by a considerable margin. However, the chipset trails Apple's latest A15 Bionic processor in terms of performance scores.
What is Geekbench and how much did the smartphone score?
Geekbench is a processor benchmarking platform that ranks chipsets based on their single-core and multi-core performances. It runs a series of instructions simultaneously per core and then generates an aggregate result. The faster a chipset performs the actions, the higher is its score. The Galaxy S22 Ultra with Exynos 2200 SoC has achieved a single-core score of 691 and a multi-core score of 3,167.
