MediaTek has announced that its new flagship chip will be unveiled on Sept. 15 at 2:30 PM (local time) in China. The company is teasing its first Pro-branded processor in the flagship Dimensity family, with the announcement pointing to improvements in both hardware and software.

The upcoming chipset is expected to be the Dimensity 9600 Pro, which could become MediaTek’s first 2nm smartphone processor. Earlier information suggests it will use TSMC’s second-generation 2nm N2P process, while the standard Dimensity 9600 is expected to retain a 3nm process and serve as an enhanced version of the Dimensity 9500. The 2nm process is reportedly capable of delivering higher performance at the same power consumption while reducing power requirements at comparable performance levels.

Gaming is another major focus, with MediaTek teasing AI-assisted GPU rendering, an upgraded StarSpeed Engine and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The company is also promising improvements for mobile video recording, including support for 4K slow-motion footage at 240fps and additional tools aimed at content creators.

Dimensity 9600 Pro performance and expected phones

The Dimensity 9600 Pro is expected to feature an eight-core CPU configuration comprising two cores clocked at 4.55GHz, three at 4.35GHz and three at 3.10GHz. Graphics processing could be handled by the Mali-G2-Ultra-NX MC12 GPU. Early Geekbench results reportedly show the chipset crossing 4,000 points in single-core testing and 13,000 points in multi-core testing on the Vivo X500 Pro Max.
