MediaTek announces new Dimensity 9500s flagship and 8500 midrange SoCs

"MediaTek introduced its flagship mobile chipset, the Dimensity 9500 SoC, in September last year, and has now followed it up with the new Dimensity 9500s. The company has also announced the mid-range Dimensity 8500 chipset alongside it. Just like the Dimensity 9500, the new octa-core 9500s also features an 'All Big Core' architecture and is manufactured using a 3nm process."

"The Dimensity 9500s comes with a primary Arm Cortex-X925 Ultra core clocked at 3.73GHz. It also gets three Cortex-X4 premium cores and four Cortex-A720 performance cores. For graphics, the chipset gets an Immortalis-G925 GPU that supports advanced ray tracing, adaptive game technology 3.0, and frame technology 3.0. It packs a flagship NPU for 'generative reasoning and multi-modal models' support."

"The Dimensity 8500 also features an All Big Core CPU design, but is manufactured using a more efficient 4nm process. It is equipped with eight Cortex-A725 cores clocked at up to 3.4GHz. It gets a Mali-G720 GPU that's said to offer up to 25% improved performance and 20% lower power consumption compared to the previous generation. It supports LPDDR5X 4-channel RAM, UFS 4 storage, and comes with a MediaTek 8th-gen NPU (880) that supports most large language and image generation models."

MediaTek launched the Dimensity 9500s flagship and the Dimensity 8500 mid-range SoCs. The 9500s uses a 3nm All Big Core design with a primary Arm Cortex-X925 Ultra core at 3.73GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores, paired with an Immortalis-G925 GPU supporting ray tracing and advanced gaming technologies. The 9500s includes a flagship NPU for generative reasoning, the MediaTek Imagiq image processor for real-time motion tracking and 8K60 Dolby Vision recording, supports up to 320MP sensors, WQHD+ 180Hz displays, LPDDR5X, UFS4, Wi‑Fi 7, and dual SIM 5G with UltraSave 4.0. The 8500 is a 4nm All Big Core design with eight Cortex-A725 cores, a Mali-G720 GPU with improved efficiency, LPDDR5X 4-channel support, UFS4 storage, an 8th-gen NPU (880) for large language and image models, Wi‑Fi 6E, and UltraSave 3.0+.
