With its Dimensity 9000 already a powerhouse flagship processor, MediaTek has announced its new premium SoC which will power high-end smartphones in 2023. Called the Dimensity 9200, the new chipset includes support for both mmWave 5G and sub-6GHz connectivity which means we should see the chip used in phones targeted at the US market. With up to 45% power savings and a 35% performance boost, MediaTek's new flagship processor could be the chip to beat in 2023.
Besides the added support for sub-6GHz 5G networks, the Dimensity 9200 also packs in support for WiFi 7 and improved gaming performance.
Other key features of the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 include:
- 2nd Generation TSMC 4nm process: 1x Arm Cortex-X3 at 3.05GHz, 3x Arm Cortex-A715 at 2.85GHz, and 4x Arm Cortex-A510 at 1.8GHz, optimized to improve power efficiency in combination with MediaTek’s innovative thermal package design that keeps smartphones cool.
- Cutting-edge display technology: Supports Full HD+ up to 240Hz, WHQD up to 144Hz, and 5K (2.5Kx2) up to 60Hz, with adaptive refresh rate technology for a smooth user experience.
- AI visual semantic display: Optimizes picture quality with multi-person segmentation and multi-layer color management per scene.
- MediaTek AI-SR/MEMC: Provides best-in-class video streaming.
- MediaTek Smart Blulight Defender: Ensures a more comfortable viewing experience.
- Bluetooth LE Audio-ready technology: Brings best-in-class audio latency with Dual-Link True Wireless Stereo Audio for incredible sound quality.
- LPDDR5X with support for up to 8533Mbps memory: Delivers the fastest smartphone memory.
- UFS 4.0 with Multi-Circular Queue (MCQ): Provides each Cortex-A510 CPU core with direct access to storage, significantly boosting data transmission in multi-thread applications.
“MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200 combines ultimate performance with significant power savings, extending battery life and keeping smartphones cool,” said JC Hsu, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of MediaTek’s wireless communications business unit at MediaTek. “With notably brighter image capturing and improved gaming speeds, along with the latest display enhancements, the Dimensity 9200 will bring new possibilities for next-gen smartphones that come in a variety of stylish and foldable form factors.”
We should see the first Dimensity 9200-powered smartphones announced before the end of 2022 so we don't have long to wait to see how well this new chip performs.
