MediaTek’s next-gen flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9500, is rumored to arrive earlier than usual to beat Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 to the market. So we are looking at early to mid-September debut.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 processor spotted on Geekbench with Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 GPU.

Now that the alleged Dimensity 9500 has gone through Geekbench, which has filled us in on the specs. The chip will feature 1x Travis X930 main core clocked at 3.23 GHz, 3x Alto cores running at 3.03 GHz and 4x Gelas cores ticking at 2.23 GHz. The Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 GPU will take care of the graphics, clocked at 1000 MHz.
The info from Geekbench seems to be aligned with the April leak, all eight cores. The only discrepancy is the GPU, which was thought to be Immoralis-Drage.
A previous report also suggested the new NPU will be significantly more powerful, capable of delivering 100 TOPS.
We will likely start seeing the chipset appear on various benchmark databases in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned.
