The dual-core S8 SiP in the Apple Watch Series 8, SE (2022) and Ultra is actually using the same CPU as the Apple Watch Series 6 and Series 7.

Twitter user @s1guza shared a series of identifier codes which reveal that the latest S8 SiP has the same T8301 CPU identifier as the ones found in the S6 and S7 processors. 

The S6 processor was introduced on the Apple Watch Series 6 in 2020. It is based on the A13 Bionic in the iPhone 11 and Apple claims it is up to 20% faster than the S5 processor.
