The tablet Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra Samsung aims to be a top-of-the-range device capable of performing a large number of tasks, but how far will it go? According to a recently leaked performance test, everything seems to indicate that it will be faster than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the current top-of-the-range smartphone from the South Korean giant.
The performance test, which was carried out by Geekbench 6, has also served to show that the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra aims to equip a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC (remember that the device has not been officially presented). At the processor level there is an important detail, and that is that the Cortex-X3 core has run on the tablet at its official frequency of 3.36GHzwhile it typically operates at 3.2GHz on devices running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The performance of the graphics is also higher, with 719MHz compared to 680MHz which usually marks in real environments.
The performance test has been known thanks to a screenshot filtered by Revegnus. The presumed Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra score was 2,054 single-core and 5,426 multi-core. This is an improvement compared to the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone, which at the time scored 1,915 and 4,874 points respectively with the same Geekbench 6. Although the SoC seems to be quite confirmed, the leaker has withheld important data such as memory characteristics RAM, which according to a previous leak will be 16GB and of the LPDDR5X type in at least one of the variants.
The difference in the score with Geekbench 6 may be because the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra will be a much larger device, with a screen that could be 14.6 inches. This size makes the tablet about the same size as a laptop, which theoretically opens the door for larger and more powerful cooling mechanisms. Consequently, the tablet has on paper a better foundation for squeezing the power of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 than the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
for now there is no known variant of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra with Exynos SoC. Despite the rumors about the discontinuation of Samsung’s own processor division, the South Korean company has recently renewed its agreement with AMD with the purpose of using the RDNA architecture for graphics processing. The Exynos 2200 SoC, which implemented RNDA 2 graphics, did not give the expected results at the CPU or GPU level, but despite the failure, it is not convenient for Samsung to depend entirely on a direct rival.
