Dimensity 9600 leak suggests major single-core gains and class-leading GPU performance | Infinium-tech

The next wave of flagship Android phones and tablets will, for the most part, use chipsets from Qualcomm or MediaTek. We’ve already seen some details for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and now we’re getting the first information for the Dimensity 9600.

Tipster digital chat station revealed that MediaTek’s upcoming flagship SoC will be manufactured on a 2nm process node, without confirming whether it will be TSMC’s N2P or Samsung’s SF2.

Either way, the chip is expected to use a 2+3+3 all-big core CPU architecture with a focus on delivering top-notch single-core performance, which is said to rival Apple’s flagship A-series chips. The post does not confirm whether this is the current A19 Pro chip or the next-generation Apple A20. We don’t even get confirmation of the clock speed.

DCS mentions that MediaTek will bring advanced Compute Matrix Engine (CME) and Scalable Matrix Extensions (SME) capabilities without any major adjustments to the cache. On the GPU side, the Dimensity 9600 is said to offer advantages over competing 2nm chips with native frame interpolation and resolution upscaling, and better ray-tracing performance.

The first Dimensity 9600-powered devices are expected to launch in September, which is the same time frame we’re expecting the first batch of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 phones.
