The overclocked model of Snapdragon 8 will be used in more phones

In many ways, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor can be considered the most powerful processor for Android phones in 2023. Samsung was the first company that was able to use the overclocked model of this processor in the Galaxy S23, achieving higher performance than other phones that used the non-overclocked model of this processor; But now it seems that more companies are looking to use the overclocked model of this processor. Apart from Samsung, REDMAGIC 8S Pro is the first phone that will use the overclocked model of this processor.

According to Android Authority, it seems that Qualcomm has finally made it possible for smartphone manufacturers to use the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen2 model. The gaming brand REDMAGIC is the first company (not considering Samsung) that wants to market this processor in the phone named 8S Pro in the future.

redmagic announced that the second generation Snapdragon 8 of the 8S Pro phone will have the same clock speed as the Snapdragon processor of the Galaxy S23. It is good to know that the standard clock frequency of this processor is 2.3 GHz, while the overclocked version used in the Galaxy S23 uses a clock frequency of 36.3 GHz. You probably have an overclocked processor redmagic wants to use in its new phone, it uses the same upgraded GPU unit as the Galaxy S23. In the Galaxy S23, the clock frequency of the GPU was increased from 680 MHz to 719 MHz.

In benchmarks and tests, overclocked processors were not significantly different from the standard processor. However, we can expect a slight improvement in the performance of the single-core processing unit and the performance of the graphics unit of the overclocked chipset. Finally, each of the models of this processor will definitely provide the user with enough power to perform daily tasks.

It remains to be seen if the REDMAGIC 8S Pro can overcome some of the weaknesses of the Galaxy S23, such as poor stability in processor performance due to cooling issues.
