MediaTek is reportedly working on the Dimensity 9600 series of flagship chipsets. Recent reports have revealed that the brand may unveil 2nm chips, namely the Dimensity 9600 and 9600 Pro, later this year. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station released a Weibo post to reveal the performance leap the D9600 series will offer.

Dimensity 9600 Pro performance details tipped

According to DCS, the Dimensity 9600 and 9600 Pro may introduce a dual ultra-core CPU setup, marking a notable change from previous designs. The chip is said to reach peak clock speeds close to 5GHz, which places it in a new league for smartphone processors.

The architecture is expected to follow a 2+3+3 core configuration, with two ultra-large cores leading performance-heavy tasks. This approach could bring desktop-level processing capabilities to mobile devices. The chipset is also believed to be based on TSMC’s advanced N2P process, which may result in a 25 to 30 percent drop in power consumption, but this is yet to be verified, claims the tipster.

Earlier reports suggest that MediaTek could segment the lineup into multiple tiers. The standard version may be based on an enhanced Dimensity 9500+, while the Pro and Pro Max variants are likely to adopt the newer 2nm-class architecture. This layered strategy could allow brands to target different price segments while maintaining flagship-grade performance.

The Dimensity 9600 series is also expected to benefit from MediaTek’s involvement in developing advanced AI chips, including work related to Google’s TPU platform. This could translate into better on-device AI capabilities and improved power efficiency in real-world usage.

Leaks indicate that the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup may adopt the Dimensity 9600 series, particularly in their Pro Max models. Meanwhile, competing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipsets from Qualcomm are expected to be reserved for select ultra-premium devices, setting up an interesting battle in the flagship segment.
