MediaTek announces Dimensity 9500 for Q4 Android flagships



MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity 9500, a third-generation “All Big Core” mobile SoC for upcoming 5G smartphones. The chip pairs one ultra core at up to 4.21 GHz with three premium cores and four performance cores, and supports four-lane UFS 4.1 storage.

MediaTek claims up to 32% higher single-core and 17% higher multi-core performance versus the previous generation. Peak CPU power draw is reduced, and the company cites faster app-launch response with tight latency control. A new cache and memory design plus four-lane UFS 4.1 is said to double read/write throughput and speed up large model loading by around 40%.

Graphics move to an Arm Mali-G1 Ultra GPU with two ray-tracing units. MediaTek lists up to 33% higher peak GPU performance, 42% better power efficiency at peak, and up to 119% faster ray-tracing benchmarks. The platform targets 120 FPS ray-traced gameplay and supports Unreal Engine 5 features including Nanite (5.5) and MegaLights (5.6).
