As we near the end of 2025, the next wave of flagship mobile chipsets is starting to roll out. Today, we’re taking a look at MediaTek’s upcoming powerhouse, the Dimensity 9500.
A rumour suggests its GPU will deliver a massive leap in energy efficiency, reportedly over 40% better than the previous generation.
The GPU might be branded as a Mali-G1-Ultra MC12, running at 1.0GHz. According to the leaker, this could push ray-traced gaming performance past 100fps – a pretty impressive jump, if that’s true.
On the CPU side, we’re expecting an all-big-core setup: one Cortex-X930 Travis core at 3.23GHz, three Alto cores at 3.03GHz, and four Gelas cores at 2.23GHz.
MediaTek is likely to unveil the Dimensity 9500 before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which means we could see it by late September at the latest. Exciting times for mobile hardware!
