GoKawiilGalaxy Tab S12 Ultra Geekbench leak shows Dimensity 9500 chip, big performance gain
A Geekbench 7 listing for the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra (SM-X940) reveals it running MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chip with 12GB of RAM and Android 17 preinstalled. The device scored 2,760 in single-core and 9,291 in multi-core, notably higher than a comparable Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra result.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Although Samsung appears to drop the 'Plus' branding used in the previous chip, the standard Dimensity 9500 still delivers roughly 21% faster single-core performance thanks to a much higher peak clock speed. This suggests MediaTek's newer non-Plus silicon can outperform last year's flagship variant, reshaping expectations for how tablet makers choose chips.
- Tab S12 Ultra uses MediaTek Dimensity 9500 instead of the Dimensity 9400 Plus in its predecessor.
- Benchmark scores show about a 21% single-core improvement over the Tab S11 Ultra.
- Tested unit retains 12GB RAM and ships with Android 17 out of the box.
