MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro: 2nm chip doubles AI compute, cuts power
jiqizhixin · x · 2026-09-15
MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro, a flagship smartphone chip clearly built for the on-device AI era:
- Built on TSMC's latest 2nm process with 33B+ transistors and a new "Fusion Computing Architecture"
- vs. Dimensity 9500: prime-core power down 37%, multi-core power down 61%, top core at 4.55GHz
- Multi-core Geekbench up 15%, AI compute doubled with a redesigned dual-NPU setup, GPU performance up 18% at same power, 120fps full-scene ray tracing
The takeaway: the flagship phone race is shifting from raw speed to better agents and smarter on-device experiences.
