MediaTek, at its 2021 Summit, has announced the new Dimensity 9000 flagship chip. It is the world’s first TSMC chip that is based on the 4nm process, which is claimed to improve performance and power efficiency. The new MediaTek chipset is also said to be competing with the high-end Snapdragon (even the upcoming Snapdragon 898), Samsung, and Apple chipsets. Let’s take a look at the details.
MediaTek Dimensity 9000 uses an Arm Cortex X2 Ultra-core that clocks up to 3.05GHz, making it the first chip to use one. It also includes 3 Cortex -A710 Super cores clocked at up to 2.85GHz and 4 Cortex-A510 Efficiency cores. There’s support for the latest Arm Mali-G710 graphics processor and a new ray-tracking SDK, which will make room for new graphic techniques and visual improvements.
It is suggested (via GSMArena) that the new chip has surpassed the Geekbench scores of an Android flagship chip (most likely Snapdragon 888). The Dimensity 9000 has reportedly also attained multi-core scores similar to the A15 Bionic chipset. With this, MediaTek can once again beat Qualcomm and other chipmakers in the high-end segment too.
