MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset series launch

Overview

MediaTek has officially launched its Dimensity 9600 flagship chipset series, headlined by the Dimensity 9600 Pro and the Dimensity 9600M, during a Tech Day event in Kuala Lumpur. These processors are designed to support the era of ‘Agentic AI’ through specialized hardware.

The Dimensity 9600 Pro is manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process and features an ‘All-Big-Core’ CPU configuration, including Arm C2-Ultra and C2-Pro cores with clock speeds reaching up to 4.55 GHz. This 2+3+3 CPU configuration delivers a 17% increase in single-core performance and a 15% increase in multi-core performance over its predecessor, while potentially reducing multi-core power consumption by up to 61%. To manage complex AI workloads, the Pro model utilizes a dual NPU architecture, including the high-performance MediaTek NPU 1090 and the Super Efficient NPU 2.0. Imaging capabilities are bolstered by the Imagiq 1290 ISP and an upgraded Mali-G2 Ultra NX GPU, which offers a 27% increase in peak performance. The chipset supports LPDDR6 RAM, UFS 5.0 storage, and Wi-Fi 7. Manufacturers vivo and OPPO have confirmed that upcoming flagship devices, such as the vivo X500 Series, will utilize the new chipset.

The Dimensity 9600M is designed to bring advanced AI features to a broader range of flagship devices. Built on the 3nm N3P process, it incorporates a new ‘Agentic AI Engine’ and a ‘Dimensity Scheduling Engine 3.0’ to optimize task management. While maintaining much of the hardware foundation of the Dimensity 9500, the 9600M focuses on software and AI upgrades, utilizing the MediaTek NPU 990 to support on-device models like Gemini Nano 4 and Qwen 3.5 Omni 4B.
