Dimensity 9600 leak suggests major single-core gains and class-leading GPU performance

"Tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the upcoming flagship SoC from MediaTek will be fabricated on a 2nm process node, without confirming whether it will be TSMC's N2P or Samsung's SF2."

"Either way, the chip is expected to utilize a 2+3+3 all-big core CPU architecture with a focus on delivering top-notch single-core performance, which is said to rival Apple's flagship A-series chips. The post did not confirm whether this is the current A19 Pro chip or the next-gen Apple A20. We also don't get confirmation of the clock speeds."

"DCS mentions that MediaTek will bring enhanced Compute Matrix Engine (CME) and Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) capabilities without any major adjustments to the cache. On the GPU side, Dimensity 9600 is said to offer an advantage against competing 2nm chips with native frame interpolation and resolution upscaling and improved ray-tracing performance."

"The first Dimensity 9600-powered devices are expected to launch in September, which is the same timeframe when we're expecting the first batch of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 phones."

The next flagship Android devices are expected to use chipsets from Qualcomm or MediaTek. MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 is reported to be fabricated on a 2nm process node, with uncertainty about whether it will use TSMC’s N2P or Samsung’s SF2. The CPU is expected to follow a 2+3+3 all-big core design aimed at strong single-core performance comparable to Apple’s flagship A-series chips, though clock speeds are not confirmed. The Compute Matrix Engine and Scalable Matrix Extension capabilities are expected to be enhanced without major cache changes. The GPU is expected to include native frame interpolation, resolution upscaling, and improved ray-tracing performance. Devices are expected to launch in September alongside Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 phones.
