Esports PH | [Manila, Philippines] — MediaTek, the world’s leading innovator of smartphone SoCs, has announced its most advanced mobile platform to date: the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. Designed to redefine what flagship 5G smartphones can deliver, the new chip raises the bar for on-device AI, console-class gaming, and power efficiency.
Powerhouse Performance with All Big Core Design
At the heart of the Dimensity 9500 is MediaTek’s third-generation All Big Core CPU design, which combines:
- A 4.21GHz ultra core
- Three premium cores
- Four performance cores
- Four-lane UFS 4.1 storage
This architecture enables up to 29% higher single-core and 16% higher multi-core performance versus the previous generation. Even more impressive, the ultra core achieves 55% lower power consumption at peak performance — extending battery life while boosting productivity.
“As AI becomes part of everyday life, consumers want devices that feel smarter, faster, and more personal without sacrificing battery life,” said JC Hsu, corporate senior vice president at MediaTek and general manager of the Wireless Communications Business Unit. “The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 delivers exactly that: breakthrough on-device AI, top-tier performance and efficiency, and a full suite of premium experiences that our partners can bring to users around the world.”
Smarter AI, Faster Responsiveness
The Dimensity 9500 introduces a new cache and memory architecture, including the industry’s first 4-channel UFS 4.1 support, doubling read/write speeds and accelerating large AI model loading by 40%. Its second-generation Dimensity scheduler translates raw power into smoother responsiveness and sustained efficiency, even during heavy workloads.
AI performance is powered by the ninth-generation MediaTek NPU 990 with Generative AI Engine 2.0, which doubles compute power and debuts BitNet 1-bit large model processing. This innovation reduces power usage by up to 25%, while enabling always-on small models with 40% lower energy consumption. Users can now enjoy:
- 100% faster output for 3B-parameter LLMs
- 128K token long text processing
- The industry’s first 4K ultra-high-resolution image generation
Console-Class Gaming on Mobile
The platform’s Arm G1-Ultra GPU boosts gaming with 33% higher peak performance and 42% better power efficiency. Gamers can experience:
- Double frame rate interpolation up to 120FPS
- Real-time ray tracing with console-level visuals
- Support for MegaLights in Unreal Engine 5.6 and Nanite in Unreal Engine 5.5, delivering AAA-quality rendering and immersive lighting effects
By working closely with leading studios, MediaTek ensures that flagship smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9500 will deliver next-gen gaming on the go.
Imaging and Connectivity Built for the Future
On the camera front, MediaTek Imagiq 1190 brings RAW-domain pre-processing, 200MP capture, NPU-assisted focusing, and cinematic 4K 60FPS portrait video.
Connectivity is equally advanced, with features such as:
- MiraVision adaptive display
- AI-driven Bluetooth call enhancement
- Multi-network intelligence for seamless transitions between calls and data
- Up to 10% lower power use in 5G and 20% lower in Wi-Fi scenarios
- 5CC carrier aggregation for 15% higher bandwidth
- AI-powered positioning with 20% higher accuracy and 50% lower latency
Driving the Next Wave of Smartphones
As the world’s largest supplier of smartphone SoCs, MediaTek continues to lead through innovation and collaboration. The Dimensity 9500 is the culmination of years of investment in advanced R&D, ecosystem partnerships, and co-development with device makers, software partners, and gaming studios.
Flagship smartphones powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 are expected to launch globally in Q4 2025.
