Back in November 2021, MediaTek released the Dimensity 9000 as the world’s first SoC fabbed on TSMC’s 4nm process node. It was also the first to use ARM’s high-performance Cortex-X2 core. Later in June, the company announced the Dimensity 9000+ to go head-to-head with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Now, a popular tipster has revealed the details of the upcoming Dimensity 9200 and shared its launch timeline. Let’s look at the details.
According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 will debut in November, but before the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It is reported to use ARM Cortex-X3 cores and an Immortalis G715 GPU. ARM Cortex-X3 is claimed to offer a 25% performance boost over the Cortex-X2. While the clock speed and architecture have not yet been announced, the performance of the chipset is said to be much higher than expected.
The chipset will still be based on TSMC’s 4nm process node and could use the same Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 cores as before. It is said to power the upcoming devices in Vivo’s X90 series and OPPO’s Find X series.
The upcoming Dimensity 9200 SoC is expected to give a tough fight to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is slated to debut in November. It is expected to appear on various phones from Vivo and Oppo in December 2022, much sooner than its predecessor.
In related news, MediaTek recently unveiled a new mid-tier chipset called, Dimensity 1080. It brings improved performance, better efficiency, and enhanced camera support as compared to its predecessor— the Dimensity 920. It can even handle image data from sensors of up to 200MP with the Imagiq ISP.
