"First, we have to note that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will be an overclocked "for Galaxy" variant - its Prime core cluster is clocked at 4.74GHz instead of the usual 4.61GHz for the regular Elite Gen 5. This might be paired with a GPU boost too, but we don't know that for certain yet. This means that the Prime cores (Oryon V3) on the Snapdragon are clocked almost a full gigahertz higher than the ARM C1-Ultra core of the Exynos 2600 (which runs at 3.80GHz)."
"So, it's no surprise that the Snapdragon chip has a lead in single-core performance (+16%). However, the multi-core score is effectively identical as it is within the margin of error (the Exynos 2600 score is 2% lower than the Snapdragon one). Of course, it helps that the Exynos 2600 has a deca-core CPU (1+3+6), while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy has "only" eight cores (2+6)."
"Either way, you must have heard by now - the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in all regions, while the Galaxy S26 and S26+ will use the Exynos 2600 in several regions (the exact regions are not 100% clear at this point). It's not listed in the screenshots above, but all three Galaxy S26 models have 12GB of RAM as a base. The S26 Ultra should have a 16GB option, but that's only for the 1TB variant and we don't think that one was the one being tested."
The Galaxy S26 Ultra uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 "for Galaxy" variant with a Prime core cluster clocked at 4.74GHz. The Galaxy S26 and S26+ use the Exynos 2600 in several regions, whose ARM C1-Ultra prime core runs at 3.80GHz. The Snapdragon's Oryon V3 Prime cores run almost a full gigahertz faster, producing about a 16% single-core performance advantage. Multi-core scores are effectively identical, with the Exynos 2600 about 2% lower and benefiting from a deca-core configuration (1+3+6) versus Snapdragon's octa-core (2+6). All three models list 12GB RAM as a base; the S26 Ultra may offer 16GB on the 1TB variant.
