MediaTek’s Apple-inspired Dimensity 9600 variants revealed | Infinium-tech

MediaTek is expected to launch the Dimensity 9600 SoC this year, and now a new rumor from China claims there will actually be three variants. The Dimensity 9600s is basically called the Dimensity 9500+, which is a slightly improved version of the Dimensity 9500 that was launched last year. Thus, it will still be built on the 3nm process.

The ‘proper’ Dimensity 9600 will be offered in two variants, as Qualcomm is rumored to do with the Snapdragon 860 Elite Gen 6. In MediaTek’s case, we’re reportedly not getting a vanilla SoC and a Pro, but a Pro and a Pro Max.

Both the Dimensity 9600 Pro and Pro Max will be built on TSMC’s 2nm process. Both of them are said to differ in their exact CPU configuration. Unsurprisingly, the source of this rumor claims that the Dimensity 9600s will not rise to the same level as Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.

This makes perfect sense since we are comparing a 3nm chip to a 2nm chip. The Dimensity 9600 Pro will likely be MediaTek’s answer to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, while the Dimensity 9600 Pro Max will be rivaled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro.

The new Dimensity 9600 lineup is expected to make its debut in devices launching this September, specifically the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 family.
