According to information from the generally well-known leaker, Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek is in the works Digital Chat Station In a new high-end SoC for smartphones. The chip, which will likely be released as the Dimension 9500, is said to have a new CPU configuration with two powerful Cortex-X930 and six slightly more power-efficient Cortex-A730 cores. MediaTek recently tried a new design for the Dimension 8400.
This architecture, known as a 2+6 solution, should enable clock speeds of up to 4 GHz. The chip is manufactured using a 3-nanometer process, which promises high power efficiency. It sounds like a very similar data sheet to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.
It is currently unclear how high clock frequencies affect battery consumption and temperature development under real-world conditions. It also remains to be seen which specific devices will benefit first from the performance boost.
With the Dimensity 9500, MediaTek continues its efforts to catch up with Qualcomm in the premium segment. An official presentation is expected in a few months, after all, the predecessor Dimension 9400 was released only in October. Regardless, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for MediaTek that the current streak of success continues.
