MediaTek Unveils Dimensity 9000+ 5G Chipset

MediaTek unveiled a new chipset, the Dimensity 9000+, on Wednesday as an upgrade to the company's top-of-the-line 5G smartphone chipset. According to the company, the new high-end offering outperforms the Dimensity 9000, making the next generation of flagship smartphones even more powerful and efficient.

"Building on the success of our first flagship 5G chipset, the Dimensity 9000+ ensures that device makers always have access to the most advanced high-performance features and the latest mobile technologies, making it possible for their top-tier smartphones to stand out," Yenchi Lee, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek's Wireless Communications Business Unit, said in a statement.

Lee further said, "With a suite of top-tier AI, gaming, multimedia, imaging and connectivity features, the Dimensity 9000+ delivers faster gameplay, seamless streaming and an all-around better user experience."

The new Dimensity 9000+ system-on-chip (SoC) combines Arm's v9 CPU architecture with a 4nm octa-core process, combining one ultra-Cortex-X2 core running at up to 3.2GHz (compared to 3.05GHz with the Dimensity 9000), three super Cortex-A710 cores, and four efficiency Cortex-A510 cores.

The advanced CPU architecture and Arm Mali-G710 MC10 graphics processor built into the new chipset improve CPU performance by more than 5% and GPU performance by more than 10%.
