With an aim to take on Qualcomm’s ‘Plus’ variants of SoCs, MediaTek has introduced the new Dimensity 9000+, which primarily competes with the recently introduced Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The new MediaTek chipset is all about a few tweaks with the purpose of improved GPU and CPU performance. Here’s a look at the details.

The 4nm Dimensity 9000+ incorporates Arm’s v9 CPU architecture, which includes the ultra-Cortex-X2 core clocked at 3.2GHz, an increase from the 3.05GHz clock speed of the same performance core on the Dimensity 9000. This change in structure is said to provide more than a 5% boost in CPU performance.

There’s also the presence of three super Cortex-A710 cores (up to 2.85GHz) and four efficiency Cortex-A510 cores (up to 1.8GHz). This setup also includes the Arm Mali-G710 MC10, which provides up to 10% improved GPU performance.

Additionally, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ comes with support for 3GPP Release 16 5G modem, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth version 5.3, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and Bluetooth LE Audio-ready technology, among others.
