Just days after reports suggested the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro could flirt with 5GHz clock speeds, a new leak is adding a bit more shape to the rumor.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, the Dimensity 9600 Pro will use a 2+3+3 CPU layout built around what the tipster describes as a “dual-core all-big-core architecture.”

More specifically, the chip is said to feature two high-performance “Canyon” cores, alongside three “Gelas-b” and three standard “Gelas” cores. The tipster further reiterates that the prime core clock speeds are expected to push close to the 5GHz mark.
The leak also mentions support for SME 2 (Scalable Matrix Extension 2), an extension designed to improve machine learning and AI-related workloads. On the graphics side, the chip is tipped to feature an Arm “Magni” GPU.
Memory and storage upgrades are also on the table. The Dimensity 9600 Pro is rumored to support LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, both of which promise faster data throughput and improved efficiency over today’s standards.
Underlying all of this is TSMC’s N2P process. According to DCS, internal specifications reportedly suggest a 10 to 15 percent boost in performance alongside a 25 to 30 percent reduction in power consumption.
Interestingly, even Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to deliver a performance uplift of under 20%, despite reaching similar clock speeds near the 5GHz mark.
Anywho, as you might have guessed by now, the Dimensity 9600 lineup won’t be a one-size-fits-all affair. The Pro model is set to carry the most advanced architecture, while the standard variant is rumored to stick with a 3nm process and will likely target more mainstream devices.
According to previous reports, the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup will be the first to use the Dimensity 9600 chip.
