MediaTek’s next flagship processor, the Dimensity 9500, is expected to launch later this month, and a new leak has laid out most of its key specifications. The information comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who has a track record of detailing smartphone hardware ahead of release.
At the heart of the Dimensity 9500 is a CPU built on TSMC’s advanced N3P process. The setup follows an all-large-core layout that MediaTek has been using for the past few generations. The configuration includes one Cortex-X930 core running at 4.21GHz, three Cortex-X930 cores at 3.5GHz, and four Cortex-A730 cores at 2.7GHz.
On the graphics side, the processor integrates a Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 GPU, running at around 1MHz. The leak notes that the GPU has a new microarchitecture that improves ray tracing performance while reducing power draw.
Beyond cores and graphics, the Dimensity 9500 has a 16MB L3 cache, 10MB system-level cache, and support for the SME instruction set, plus a next-gen NPU 9.0 said to hit 100 TOPS (trillion operations per second). For memory and storage, the chip supports LPDDR5X RAM at 10667Mbps and UFS 4.1 storage over a 4-lane setup.
Digital Chat Station also pointed out that the imaging stack may include a version of Vivo’s V3+ ISP, though this will likely be exclusive to Vivo devices.
