Calling All S25 Ultra Users: Share Your CPU Throttling Test Results!
Hey fellow S25 Ultra enthusiasts,
I'm reaching out to gather some real-world performance data on our beloved S25 Ultra devices. By sharing our CPU Throttling Test results, we can better understand how our devices handle intensive tasks and how much of that raw power is accessible without being throttled.
Test Instructions:
App to Use: CPU Throttling Test (by procedural prophet)
Test Parameters:
Duration: 60 seconds (30 seconds is acceptable if you're short on time)
Threads: 50
Profiles: Run two separate tests—one using the 'Standard' profile and another using the 'Light' profile, standard being before light.
- Pre-Test Preparations:
Battery Level: Ensure your device's battery is above 40% to prevent power delivery-induced throttling
Phone Case: Remove any protective case to allow the device's natural cooling mechanisms to function optimally
Device Temperature: Perform the test when the device is at ambient temperature, preferably after it has been idle for at least 30 minutes or first thing in the morning
- Submission Format:
Username: Your Reddit username
Device ID: Your device model (e.g., S25U, S23U, OnePlus 13)
Profile: Profile used ('Standard' or 'Light')
Duration: Duration of the test (preferably 60 seconds)
Max GIPS: Maximum Giga Instructions Per Second achieved
Avg GIPS: Average GIPS
Min GIPS: Minimum GIPS
Example Submission:

Purpose of the Study:
The goal is to assess the real-world performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in the S25U and determine how much of its raw power is accessible without encountering thermal throttling. By comparing these results, we can evaluate whether the 8 Elite offers a significant performance advantage over its predecessor, the 8 Gen 2, or if throttling negates its benefits.
My Previous Results for Reference:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Max GIPS: 460K Avg GIPS: 380K+ Min GIPS: Variable Test Duration: Approximately 30 seconds
Current Device: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Max GIPS: 470K Avg GIPS: 430K Min GIPS: 360K Power Consumption: Approximately 18 watts
Test Parameters: 50 threads, you'll find it in settings.
Your contributions will help create a comprehensive dataset to understand the performance dynamics of the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in the S25U. Once sufficient data is collected, I will compile and share visual representations to facilitate easier analysis and discussion.
Thank you for your time and participation!
Note: Please ensure that all tests are conducted responsibly.
