Following the announcement of the new Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip (launch offer with an insane discount), the Korean giant doesn’t stop. In the brand’s future, not too distant, there is the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, once again a gem equipped with a maxi display and a flagship chipset built by MediaTek.
Samsung Galaxy S12 Ultra with the latest flagship Dimensity
The device appeared on Geekbench with the initial results and some ‘confirmation’ on the specifications. The commercial name is not present, but the model code SM-X946B: the device scored 2,424 points in the single-core test and 8,446 in multi-core, results slightly higher than its predecessor.
This is thanks to the presence of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, premium SoC of this generation and direct rival to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
It has long been that Samsung relies on the Taiwanese chipmaker for its top-of-the-line tablets and this time it has not made an exception. The previous Galaxy S11 Ultra was equipped with the Dimensity 9400+, but this year MediaTek did not release a Plus variant of its SoC.
