The results indicate significant performance reserves \u2013 and could provide Samsung with additional arguments in the high-end segment just in time for the launch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Geekbench 6 single-core: 3,852 points (Galaxy S26 Ultra)<\/li>\n<li>Geekbench 6 multi-core: 9,302 points (iPhone 17 Pro Max inferior)<\/li>\n<li>Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as the presumed top performer<\/li>\n<li>Android 16 listed in the tested model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in Geekbench 6: Clear advantages in the benchmark<\/h2>\n<p>In the latest Geekbench 6 test, a device with the model number SM-S948U, which is assigned to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, is said to have achieved a single-core score of 3,852 points. The device was apparently also able to impress in the multi-core test and outperform its Apple counterpart. By comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max achieved a single-core score of 3,657 points and a multi-core score of 9,302 points in the same benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S26 Ultra would therefore win both categories. It is particularly interesting that the measured values are the highest results to date for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. According to current information, this chip is to be used in the entire Galaxy S26 series.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-396371\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-Geekbench-6-Scores-scaled-1-615x780.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in Geekbench 6\" width=\"615\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-Geekbench-6-Scores-scaled-1-615x780.jpg 615w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-Geekbench-6-Scores-scaled-1-307x390.jpg 307w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-Geekbench-6-Scores-scaled-1-173x220.jpg 173w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-Geekbench-6-Scores-scaled-1.jpg 751w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\"\/>Image: Geekbench<\/p>\n<p>If the figures are confirmed, there is a lot to be said for targeted optimizations on the part of Samsung Electronics. Individual adjustments to the clock frequency, cooling and power management could explain the benchmark peak. At the same time, it should be noted that pre-production devices are often not yet finally tuned. Accordingly, the values may still change before the official market launch.<\/p>\n<p>A direct comparison with the iPhone 17 Pro Max from Apple shows that Samsung could currently have the edge, at least in synthetic tests&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-beats-iphone-17-pro-max-in-geekbench-6\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra beats iPhone 17 Pro Max in Geekbench 6 https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-beats-iphone-17-pro-max-in-geekbench-6\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216447,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-Galaxy-S25-series-Corning\u00ae-Gorilla\u00ae-Armor-2_dl1_1000.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-216446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216446"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216446"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216448,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216446\/revisions\/216448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
