Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra Is Faster Than Galaxy S23 Ultra, Reveals New Benchmark Leak, Despite Sporting The Same ‘Upgraded’ Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is rumored to get the same higher-performing version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but somehow, the latest benchmark leak shows Samsung’s flagship tablet to be faster than the smartphone. Here we discuss why that is.
The screenshot shared by Twitter user Revegnus hides the RAM count of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, but it is running the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, according to Geekbench 6.

While the GPU clock speeds are not mentioned, the upgraded version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 operates at 719MHz instead of 680MHz, delivering a small boost in graphics performance.

For the second reason, because the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra features a significantly larger footprint than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it will mean that Samsung will have ample use to incorporate a bigger cooling solution.
The larger size of the tablet plays a pivotal role in heat dissipation, and with the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra obtaining a single-core and multi-core score of 2,054 and 5,426, respectively, in Geekbench 6, you can clearly spot the benefits. Keep in mind that the top-tier tablet is said to arrive with a gargantuan-sized 14.6-inch display, making it significantly larger than any Galaxy S23 model (Galaxy S23 Ultra scores are given below). The upcoming slate is practically the same size as a laptop, so
