Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max Geekbench Scores Reveal XRING O3 Chip Performance

Xiaomi is preparing to launch a new high-end tablet that marks a strategic shift toward in-house silicon. The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max appears on benchmarking sites with the XRING O3 chipset, signaling that the company is moving away from third-party processors for its top-tier devices. This shift is significant for consumers as it may establish the performance baseline and software optimization standards for the entire Pad 9 series.

Xiaomi's in-house XRING O3 chip powers the new tablet with 10 cores

The device features a 13.3-inch display and is powered by the XRING O3 system-on-chip. This processor represents a significant architectural change for the tablet line, as other models in the Pad 9 series reportedly rely on Qualcomm components. The Pad 9 Pro Max targets users who need maximum processing power for demanding tasks, leveraging Xiaomi's proprietary hardware design.

Specifications

• Chipset: XRING O3
• CPU Cores: 10 cores (2 C1-Ultra @ 4.36GHz, 4 C1-Premium @ 3.69GHz, 4 C1-Pro @ 3.15GHz)
• GPU: Mali G2 Ultra NX MC16 (16 cores)
• Geekbench Single-Core Score: 3,400+
• Geekbench Multi-Core Score: 13,200+

The XRING O3 chip contains 10 cores arranged in three distinct tiers. Two C1-Ultra cores run at 4.36GHz, four C1-Premium cores operate at 3.69GHz, and four C1-Pro cores clock at 3.15GHz. Graphics processing is handled by a Mali G2 Ultra NX MC16 GPU with 16 cores, providing substantial parallel computing capability for the device.

Benchmark results from Geekbench show the tablet scoring more than 3,400 points in single-core tests and over 13,200 points in multi-core tests. These figures fall short of an earlier claim from Xiaomi that the XRING O3 chip could achieve 15,000 points in multi-core benchmarks. The device also supports 120W charging, which suggests fast power replenishment for the large battery required by this hardware.

Xiaomi is expected to launch the Pad 9 Pro Max in early September. We have been tracking this development closely and covered the Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro Leaks earlier. The tablet will likely target users who prioritize raw computational performance and display size over portability.
