MediaTek has just announced its latest flagship processor: the Dimensity 9000, the company’s most powerful chip ever that looks like it should be able to go head to head with the best chips that more popular competitors like Qualcomm and Samsung offer.

Where previous top-tier Dimensity chips (like last year’s Dimensity 1000) were still less powerful than contemporaries like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 or Samsung’s Exynos 2100, the new Dimensity 9000 is coming out of the gate to make a case for 2022 Android flagships.

The new Dimensity 9000 is the first mobile chip to be built on TSMC’s 4nm process, in addition to using Arm’s new v9 architecture. It’s also the first announcement CPU to use Arm’s new core designs: a single Cortex-X2 performance core clocked at 3.05GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.85GHz, and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz. The GPU, meanwhile, is a 10-core Arm Mali-G710, along with MediaTek’s fifth-generation APU with six total cores for AI processing (which the company says offers four times the performance and power efficiency compared to its previous generation).

The new 18-bit Imagiq Gen 7 ISP claims to be the world’s first chip to be capable of capturing a 320-megapixel image (assuming your phone has a sensor that can shoot at that level), capable of transferring data at 9 gigapixels per second.

As one might expect for a modern smartphone chip, the Dimensity 9000 offers an onboard 5G modem with support for the 3GPP’s Release 16 specification. Notably, though, the new chip still lags behind competitors by only offering built-in sub-6GHz 5G support, without the faster mmWave standard. The Dimensity 9000 does claim to be the first smartphone to support Bluetooth 5.3 and will work with Wi-Fi 6E, too.

It’s likely that MediaTek won’t be alone for long when it comes to using the latest Arm technologies — Qualcomm, for example, is widely expected to announce a successor to its Snapdragon 888 chipset at its annual Snapdragon Tech Summit on November 30th. But even if MediaTek finds that the Dimensity 9000 is merely in the same weight class as whatever Qualcomm announces this year, instead of a leap ahead, that’s a big win for MediaTek, which has largely lagged behind until now.

MediaTek has long been an also-ran when it comes to major Android devices, but the Dimensity 9000 shows that it’s finally looking to really compete. The question now is whether phone manufacturers are ready to join it.

This article should have included at least some comparisons to the Apple A-series in the latest iPhones, if not the M-series in the latest iPads. It’s interesting to compare Apple’s integrated "chip+OS" design for performance and particularly performance/watt to the silicon vendors that feed Android system integrators.

I think Apple has shown the issue with having 1 major company to rely on for chips, they become slow to advance.
Im not saying Qualcomm releases bad chips but they havent really improved that much since the 845. Yes single core has gotten better but. I mean compared to what apple has done in the same period.
This is the exact reason Apple stopped using Intel, they were not advancing enough.
I get that intel or qualcomm have to work with more devices but they can do more im sure.

I never quite understood the relative performance of MediaTek chips within their products and compared to Qualcomm. The assumption was always that all their chips were below the performance of all the Qualcomm chips.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single chip under the Dimensity banner.

Huh, what? Quite a few phones are on them, and they’re pretty fast, and some are pretty cheap. There are quite a few Poco phones using them now, and Xiaomi is starting to put them to their main line too. There are a couple of Samsung M phones and Realme phones as well.

To me… Mediatek is synonymous with lower quality.

Never had their phone chips, but their shitty chips in 2020/21 Sony TVs are what’s holding back on 4x HDMI2.1 and VRR

Ok

Let's hope mediaTek got it right this time... There's need for more competition.

Tecno and Infinix no go fit still afford am. Dey go stick with their older gen mediatek, Greedy lots

4nm ? and one certain idiotic brand is selling a 12nm chip as flagship for over 228k.

Thunder fire the scam company.

lol which company is that?

tecno is trying lately o.

Just that they are still not where they can be.

I'll bet, you will never be able to reply these questions

How are they trying compared to other brands?

And then can you justify their prices based per chipset?

Point any brand in Africa that retail's a mid range 12nm Helio G95 chipset above 200?

Mind you, the chipset is not even a 5G chip?

Even as Oppo are overpriced, they were never stupid enough to try that foolish rubbish

After you answer these questions, i will give you a mid-range phone from another brand maybe Oppo or Realme or even Redmi so you can compare with the flagship from Tecno, and then you'll know that they have never improved one bit.

This is nice

dem tell you so?

i used to avoid mtk devices like a plague because of my experience with transsion devices but then I used ulefone power 3s for 2yrs and it still runs like new. it was then I realised that mediatek is not the problem. they may not produce the best chips available but the chips are great for the price. if this new chip is as good as they claim, we might start seeing mtk chips in major flagships any moment from now. Oneplus already adopted the D1200 who knows what might happen next.?
