Qualcomm already confirmed it plans to host the annual Snapdragon Summit from September 23 -25, where we’ll see the announcement of its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. But arch-rival MediaTek may one-up Qualcomm by unveiling its Dimensity 9500 flagship chipset a day earlier on September 22.
The latest information comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who holds a solid track record. The vivo X300 Pro and Oppo Find X9 Pro are expected to be the first devices armed with the Dimensity 9500 chip.
MediaTek’s upcoming flagship chip will be fabbed on TSMC’s N3P node (3nm) and is expected to feature an eight-core CPU using ARM’s latest Cortex-X9 design. A Geekbench listing from earlier this year revealed the CPU will feature a Travis X930 main core clocked @3.23 GHz, 3x Alto cores running @3.03 GHz and 4x Gelas cores ticking @2.23 GHz.
The CPU will be joined by a more efficient Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 GPU, which is reportedly clocked at 1GHz and able to run ray tracing games at over 100fps. The new chip will also feature a boosted NPU rated at 100 TOPS.
