MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9400 chip in October 2024. Speculations are rife that the Taiwanese chipmaker is now working on the Dimensity 9500, which may debut in the last quarter of this year. A recent Weibo post by reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has revealed early details about the D9500 chip.
Dimensity 9500 could be the most powerful Android SoC
The Weibo post by DCS reveals that the engineering samples of MediaTek’s next-generation chipset are ready. According to the leak, the chip features an eight-core design with a 1+3+4 architecture and has a target AnTuTu benchmark score of around 3.5 million points. While the tipster has not explicitly mentioned the chipset’s name, he appears to be referring to MediaTek’s next flagship processor—the Dimensity 9500.
Previously, the tipster claimed that the Dimensity 9500 would feature two Cortex-X930 “Travis” cores. However, he now states that it includes only one Travis core, which is expected to exceed 4GHz. In terms of single-core performance, the Dimensity 9500 could rival Apple’s M4 chip, thanks to factors like the inclusion of ARM’s Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) and TSMC’s enhanced 3nm ‘N3P’ process.
The tipster has previously claimed that while it is not officially confirmed, smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9500 and Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 are expected to debut in October. Some manufacturers may even push for an early release by late September, aiming to have their devices available before November 1st.
Major brands such as Vivo and Oppo are expected to be the first adopters of the Dimensity 9500, integrating the chipset into upcoming flagship series like the Vivo X300 and Oppo Find X8. Some reports have claimed that the Honor Magic 9 series will also feature the Dimensity 9500 chip.
In related news, MediaTek is gearing up to launch the Dimensity 9400 Plus chip next month. This chip, which clocks at 3.73GHz and is an overclocked version of the existing D9400 chip, will power multiple devices, such as the Oppo Find X8s, Find X8s+, Vivo X200S, Realme GT 7, iQOO Neo 10S, OnePlus Ace 5S, and Redmi K80 Ultra.
