A tablet with Dimensity 9300? That’s what the vivo Pad 3 is all about, apparently

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: Until Gen 4 comes out this fall (presumably, with insanely fast RAM), everyone wants it. For Android users, of course. Forgive me, because there's another contender for the crown of coolest cat in town.

Yes, it's the Dimensity 9300 from MediaTek. Morgan Stanley analysts say the Dimensity 9300 is the most powerful smartphone SoC currently in use. Additionally, they expect MediaTek's market share to reach 35% in 2024, up from 20% last year thanks to the Dimensity 9300.

After this brief introduction, you'll be happy to know that the Dimensity 9300 is apparently coming to the vivo Pad 3 (via 91 laptops).

Vivo is set to expand its tablet offerings in China, and the buzz is that the Vivo Pad 3 is on the horizon. This anticipated tablet has made a splash on Geekbench, showcasing some serious hardware features that promise to improve the user experience.

The Vivo Pad 3, with model number PA2473, scored 2,223 in the single-core test and an impressive 7,547 in the multi-core test. Thanks, Dimensity 9300, looks promising!

The tablet's 16GB of RAM further improves its performance, a jump from the maximum 12GB of its predecessor. Paired with the Vivo Pad 2's Dimensity 9000, the Vivo Pad 3's upgrades suggest substantial performance improvements, likely coupled with an LCD display.

Rumors have been circulating about the Vivo Pad 3 sporting a cutting-edge Snapdragon processor, specifically the SM8635 or Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, and possibly introducing a Pro model equipped with 80W charging. However, the Geekbench reveal kicks off a curve in these speculations, suggesting that Vivo could instead reserve the new Snapdragon chip for an iQOO tablet, potentially sidelining a Vivo Pad 3 Pro.
