Mediatek has unveiled its latest chipset for flagship smartphones – the Dimensity 9000, which it believes will rival Apple’s A15 chip as well as similar offerings from rivals – Google (Tensor) and Qualcomm (Snapdragon 888). The new 5G chipset (sub-6GHz only) is the first to include the Cortex-X2 core clocked at up to 3.05GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E 2×2. The 5G model also complies with the 3GPP Release 16 standard.

On paper, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is expected to deliver up to 35% better than the Snapdragon 888 (Android flagship) in system-level performance (CPU and GPU); and approximately match the GeekBench Multicore benchmark score of the iPhone 13 (2021 flagship) with A15 Bionic chip. The company also claims it outperforms Google Tensor by up to 16% and A15 Bionic by up to 66% in AI performance.
The chipset is built using TSMC’s N4 (4nm-class) process and uses ARM’s new V9 architecture. It has an octa-core CPU (1-3-4 arrangement) with a single performance core (cortex-X2 @3.05GHz), three super cores (cortex-A710 cores @2.85GHz) and four efficiency cores (cortex-A510 cores @1.8GHz). It is paired with a 10-core Mali-G710 GPU @850MHz for graphics and new 5th-gen AI processing unit (APU) which delivers 4x more efficiency than its predecessor.
The Dimensity 9000 also supports LPDDR5x RAM (up to 7500Mbps speeds) and features an 18-bit HDR ISP that supports capturing HDR videos on three cameras simultaneously. Over the years, the Taiwanese company has struggled to meet up with Qualcomm (Snapdragon) and Samsung (Exynos) in the premium Android smartphone category. It is hoping that the Dimensity 9000 will deliver the goods as promised. It is expected to arrive in devices released later this year.
