A Geekbench listing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra indicates improved performance in the company's upcoming flagship tablet. This device utilizes a MediaTek processor, marking a departure from Samsung's traditional use of Exynos or Snapdragon chips. This hardware change reflects a shift in Samsung's approach to its high-end mobile computing lineup.

New benchmark data reveals the tablet's processor and RAM configuration ahead of launch

The listing identifies the device by the model number SM-X946B, which aligns closely with the naming pattern of the previous Tab S11 Ultra. The unit tested in the benchmark runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 system-on-chip. Samsung expects the tablet to ship with One UI 9 built on top of Android 17.

Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra Key Specs

  • Model Number: SM-X946B
  • Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9500
  • Geekbench Single-Core Score: 2,424
  • Geekbench Multi-Core Score: 8,446
  • RAM: 12GB

Performance metrics from the test show the device scoring 2,424 in single-core Geekbench tests and 8,446 in multi-core runs. The processor configuration includes one prime core running at 4.21GHz, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores. The specific test unit came equipped with 12GB of RAM.

Physical specifications point to a large 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display housed in a chassis measuring 326.3 by 208.5 by 5.1mm. Power comes from an 11,600mAh battery that supports 45W charging speeds. The camera array consists of a 13MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP front-facing camera.

Industry patterns suggest a 16GB RAM option will likely join the lineup once the tablet officially launches. If Samsung maintains its typical release schedule, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra should arrive around September. We touched on Samsung Confirms Galaxy Tab S12 and in our earlier Samsung coverage.

The available details offer insight into the hardware capabilities ahead of the official announcement. The combination of the Dimensity 9500 and a large battery suggests an emphasis on sustained performance and battery life.
