MediaTek recently took the wraps off its Dimensity 9000 chipset which is a flagship offering from the company for premium smartphones and will be competing against the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1.

Now, a tipster from China has revealed through Weibo (via MyDrivers) that the first smartphone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 will be launched in February 2022. However, more details related to this is not yet available.

If this turns out to be true, then it means that while MediaTek became the first brand to launch its flagship chipset made using TSMC’s 4nm process, the devices powered by this chip won’t be the first one as Qualcomm will likely grab that opportunity.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 features a single Cortex-X2 performance core clocked at 3.05GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.85GHz, and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz. It packs a 10-core Arm Mali-G710 that takes care of graphics processing.

The chipset also comes packed with MediaTek’s fifth-generation APU with six total cores for AI processing. It is claimed by the company to offer four times the performance and power efficiency compared to its previous generation.

It supports LPDDR5x memory at bandwidths of up to 7,500 Mbps. It can handle screens with up to a 180Hz refresh rate at FHD+ resolutions. It is also the first chipset to have an 18-bit image signal processor, offering the ability to capture 4K HDR video using up to three cameras at the same time, or still photos using up to a massive 320MP sensor.

MediaTek Dimensity 9000 supports Wi-Fi 6E as well as Bluetooth 5.3 and supports 3CC carrier aggregation for sub-6HZ 5G with top data speeds of up to 7Gbps.
