Xiaomi’s Pad 9 Pro Max has taken the top spot in AnTuTu’s September tablet rankings with an average score of 5,233,432 points. That puts the large-screen tablet 612,056 points, or roughly 13.2%, ahead of the second-place iQOO Pad Ultra.
The result is also a useful illustration of how a tablet’s physical design can affect sustained benchmark performance. The Pad 9 Pro Max uses Xiaomi’s XRING O3 processor, the same chip found in the Xiaomi 18 Fold, but its 13.3-inch chassis has more room to dissipate heat. AnTuTu cites that advantage in explaining why the tablet reached 5,233,432 points while the foldable scored 4,620,886 with the same processor.
A large tablet takes the performance crown
The iQOO Pad Ultra takes a distinctly different approach to high-end tablet performance. Its 8.8-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor, and integrated cooling fan point to a compact gaming-oriented form factor that may be easier to hold during extended play. Xiaomi’s larger model wins the benchmark, but the two devices are built around different priorities: maximum sustained output versus a more portable gaming tablet.
AnTuTu’s September top 10 is otherwise dominated by Snapdragon hardware. Nine of the 10 listed tablets use a Snapdragon processor, though Xiaomi’s in-house XRING O3 has claimed the No. 1 position. The Lenovo Legion Y700 Infinite, which led the August chart, has dropped to fourth after three models that were absent from that edition moved ahead of it.

These rankings are based on September averages from China using AnTuTu V12, with at least 1,000 valid test runs required for a device to qualify. They should not be compared directly with August’s AnTuTu V11 figures. The narrowest gap in the current top 10 is between the Lenovo Legion Y700 Infinite and vivo Pad6 Pro, separated by 9,192 points. The REDMI K Pad 2, the only MediaTek-powered tablet in August’s chart, is no longer listed.
The chart shows the potential advantage of a bigger thermal envelope for users seeking peak Android tablet performance, while the iQOO model highlights the appeal of a smaller gaming-focused design. U.S. availability and pricing for the listed Xiaomi and iQOO tablets have not been confirmed in the supplied information.
