A new leak suggests that MediaTek’s upcoming flagship chip, the Dimensity 9500, could be one of the first processors to break past 400,000 points on the upcoming AnTuTu v11 benchmark.
The info comes from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims that test platforms running the new chip are already showing promising results.
The score isn’t final yet. In fact, AnTuTu v11 itself hasn’t even launched. However, the leak suggests that storage will play a big role in pushing numbers higher.
Better storage, more speed on AnTuTu
According to the tipster, both “blue” and “green” platforms (likely Vivo and Oppo) are experimenting with 1TB 4-lane UFS 4.1 storage and it could add anywhere from 80,000 to 100,000 points on top of the raw CPU and GPU performance. That means a properly equipped Dimensity 9500 device could easily widen the gap over older flagships.
On the technical side, the Dimensity 9500 will stick to ARM’s reference designs rather than going custom. It reportedly features four Cortex-X930 cores (with three clocked slightly lower) and four Cortex-A730 cores, paired with a 12-core Mali-G1 Ultra GPU.
It’s fastest core may reach 4.00GHz mark. That’s still behind Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which is rumored to hit 4.74GHz with its custom Oryon cores.
As for Geekbench 6, the Dimensity 9500 scored over 3,900 in single-core and more than 11,000 in multi-core tests. The chip is built on TSMC’s 3nm process and includes support for ARM’s Scalable Matrix Extension (SME), which should improve AI and machine learning tasks.
MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9500 on September 22, just a day before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. Several phone manufacturers are expected to announce their respective devices powered by the chip soon after.
