Mediatek’s range of new 5G processors are all very exciting and the new flagship 4nm Dimensity 9000 is at the very top of the awesome new 5G chipsets from the brand. In true flagship fashion, the chipset is the first mobile chipset to be built on TSMC’s 4nm process and uses Arm’s new version 9 architecture and the chipset also offers support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth v5.3.Let us take a look at some of the processor’s specs.

GPU- The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC integrates a 10-core Arm Mali-G710 GPU and has a total of six fifth-generation APU cores for AI processing. MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC includes the latest ARM Mali-G710 graphics processor. The chipset claims to bring industry first raytracing SDK using Vulkan for Android.

CPU- The chipset uses the new Armv9 architecture CPUs that includes one Arm Cortex-X2 at 3.05GHz frequency, three Arm Cortex-A710 with up to 2.85GHz frequency, and four Arm Cortex-A510 CPUs. The chipset also comes with LPDDR5x 7500Mbps support. The new six-core fifth-generation AI processing unit is said to bring up to 4x power efficiency upgrade when compared to the last generation. I think it’s pretty impressive.

Optics- Mediatek’s new flagship chipset also integrates a new 18-bit Imagiq Gen 7 ISP that claims to be the world’s first to capture a 320-megapixel image. As mentioned, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC has a flagship 18-bit HDR-ISP design that allows for HDR video capture on three cameras simultaneously. The 5G chipset also brings 320-megapixel camera support for smartphones.

Display- It will also bring support for full-HD+ display with 180Hz refresh rate. The Dimensity 9000 integrates the only 5G smartphone modem with 3GPP Release-16 standard technology into the chip. It features an integrated 5G modem that offers up to 7Gbps in the downlink, 3CC Carriers Aggregation (300MHz), and up to 300 percent faster uplink performance.

Connectivity- The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset also supports all the connectivity options that include Bluetooth 5.3 standard, Wi-Fi 6E 2×2, Wireless Stereo Audio, and Beidou III-B1 C GNSS support. The Dimensity 9000 SoC is for sure a true flagship.
