  "account": "An early leak from Geekbench 7 suggests the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra may offer a significant performance upgrade over its predecessor. Samsung seems to be replacing the Tab S11 Ultra's Dimensity 9400 Plus with the standard Dimensity 9500 chipset. However, this newer chip is clocked at much higher frequencies. The S12 Ultra keeps the RAM at 12GB, while Android 17 will be preinstalled. Previous leaks from an APK teardown had already hinted at MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 powering the upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. Now, a Geekbench listing provides clearer insight into the raw performance this newer chip could deliver to one of this year's top Android tablets. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra (SM-X940) has surfaced on Geekbench 7 with single-core scores of 2,760 points and multi-core scores of 9,291 points, as reported by GSMArena. The test unit comes equipped with 12GB of RAM and runs Android 17. Its processor is identified as MediaTek’s MT6993, featuring a CPU configuration of one core at 4.21GHz, three at 3.50GHz, and four at 2.70GHz.",
