Galaxy Watch 9, faster chip up to 56% and more RAM for AI according to a benchmark

In less than two weeks, during the summer Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung will present the new Galaxy Watch 9, along with a new version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra and the new Galaxy Z range.

The update for the smartwatch line will not just be a simple refresh. This year, Samsung will introduce a new chip in its smartwatches that is expected to ensure a significant generational leap. Confirmation comes from several benchmarks highlighting a substantial increase in performance.

A much more powerful chip

The new Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 will leverage the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, created by Qualcomm for next-generation smartwatches. This new chip will replace Samsung's Exynos W1000, featuring five cores with frequencies up to 2.1 GHz. According to the results of an initial benchmark, the generational leap will be remarkable.

The new Snapdragon Wear Elite is expected to provide a 54% improvement in single-core performance and a 56% improvement in multi-core performance compared to the Exynos chip used in the current Galaxy Watches. The benchmark also confirms the presence of 4 GB of RAM, which is necessary for utilizing on-device AI functions, making the smartwatch even more comprehensive.

For now, we just have to wait for the official presentation of Samsung's new products on July 22. Remember that the new generation Galaxy Watches, along with the Galaxy Z, should be available in the first week of August.
