The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 has surfaced once more on Geekbench, this time inside the upcoming iQOO Pad Ultra.
The listing shows benchmark results that are again below what many would expect from Qualcomm's next flagship chip.
A Vivo tablet carrying model number iPA2691 appeared on Geekbench 7.
That same model number had previously been found in China's SRRC certification database, where it was linked to the iQOO Pad Ultra.
Geekbench now confirms the tablet will use the SM8975 processor, said to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
The chip is expected to use a 2nm process and shows an eight-core CPU setup in this listing.
It includes three cores clocked at 3.74GHz, three at 4.03GHz, and two high-performance cores reaching 5.01GHz.
Graphics are handled by an Adreno 850 GPU.
The tested tablet carries 16GB of RAM and runs Android 17.
Geekbench scores fall short of expectations
The iQOO Pad Ultra managed 1,512 points in the single-core test and 6,770 points in the multi-core test.
Those numbers are much lower than even last-gen processors.
There is an important detail, though: these are pre-release devices.
Unfinished software, firmware, and thermal limits could all affect the results.
Retail units could perform quite differently once the software and cooling systems are finalized.
The Pad Ultra's cooling setup could also help.
iQOO has already confirmed the tablet will have a built-in cooling fan capable of reaching up to 14,500rpm.
The fan is housed in a compact 30 x 30 x 3.5mm module.
The device is set to launch in China in late September.
