Leading chipsets maker, MediaTek today announced the launch of its most advanced mobile platform – MediaTek Dimensity 9500. This chipset will set new standards in on-device AI, console-class gaming, and power efficiency in the next wave of flagship 5G smartphones.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 adopts a third-generation All Big Core CPU design, combining a 4.21GHz ultra core, three premium cores, and four performance cores, with four-lane UFS 4.1 storage. This design delivers up to 29% higher single-core and 16% higher multi-core performance compared to the previous generation, while the ultra-core achieves up to 55% lower power consumption at peak performance, giving users longer battery life and greater productivity.
The platform’s new cache and memory architecture, including the industry’s first support for 4-channel UFS4.1, doubles read/write speeds and accelerates large AI model loading by 40%. The second-generation Dimensity scheduler translates this raw power into smoother responsiveness and sustained efficiency, even under heavy workloads.
Integrating the Arm G1-Ultra GPU, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 provides up to 33% higher peak performance and 42% improved power efficiency, and introduces double frame rate interpolation up to 120FPS, so gamers can enjoy console-level raytracing. MediaTek’s collaboration with leading studios, along with support for MegaLights in Unreal Engine 5.6 and Nanite in Unreal Engine 5.5, enable AAA-level real-time rendering and immersive lighting effects.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 platform delivers a truly agentic AI UX, with proactive, personalized, collaborative, evolving, and secure AI features. Integrating the ninth-generation MediaTek NPU 990 with Generative AI Engine 2.0 doubles compute power and introduces BitNet 1-bit large model processing, reducing power consumption by up to 25%. The ultra-efficient NPU enables always-on small models, slashing power consumption by more than 40%. Users benefit from 100% faster 3 billion parameter LLM output, 128K token long text processing, and the industry’s first 4k ultra-high-resolution image generation.
With MediaTek Imagiq 1190, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 supports RAW-domain pre-processing, up to 200MP capture, and NPU-assisted focusing, while enabling cinematic 4K 60FPS portrait video. The platform’s connectivity suite includes MiraVision adaptive display, AI-driven Bluetooth call enhancement, Wi-Fi fast transfer, and multi-network intelligence for seamless calls and data. AI-powered communication technologies deliver up to 10% lower power in 5G and 20% lower power in Wi-Fi scenarios, while 5CC carrier aggregation boosts bandwidth by 15%. AI positioning and network selection technologies offer 20% higher accuracy and 50% lower network latency lag compared to competitors.
Flagship smartphones powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 are expected to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2025.
