MediaTek has introduced its latest 5G flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9000+, which is more powerful than its predecessor, the Dimensity 9000.
The new Dimensity 9000+ system-on-chip (SoC) combines Arm’s v9 CPU architecture with an octa-core 4nm technology. It includes three super Cortex-A710 cores and four efficiency Cortex-A510 cores, in addition to one ultra-Cortex-X2 core functioning at up to 3.2GHz (compared to 3.05GHz with the Dimensity 9000).
The CPU architecture and Arm Mali-G710 MC10 graphics processor incorporated into the new chipset increase CPU performance by more than 5 percent and GPU performance by more than 10 percent. It also includes an integrated LPDDR5X that enables 8MB L3 CPU cache and 6MB system cache, as well as MediaTek’s fifth-generation Application Processor Unit (APU 5.0) enabling AI computing capabilities in a power-efficient design.
Other key features include the following:
- MediaTek Imagiq 790: The flagship 18-bit HDR-ISP supports 320MP, as well as simultaneous triple camera 18-bit HDR video recording. The powerful 9Gpixel/s ISP also supports 4K HDR Video + AI noise reduction that enables the highest quality results even in extreme low-light scenarios.
- Leading 3GPP Release-16 5G Modem: The integrated 5G modem amplifies sub-6GHz performance up to 7Gbps downlink using 3CC Carrier Aggregation (300MHz) and supports R16 UL enhancement. The Dimensity 9000+ also integrates 5G/4G Dual SIM Dual Active support and MediaTek’s 5G UltraSave 2.0 power-saving enhancement suite for improved efficiency.
- MediaTek MiraVision 790: The Dimensity 9000+ supports the latest 144Hz WQHD+ displays or super-fast 180Hz FullHD+ displays, while optimizing power efficiency with MediaTek’s Intelligent Display Sync 2.0 technology. Furthermore, MediaTek’s latest Wi-Fi Display technology can support up to 4K60 HDR10+ video.
- Wi-Fi 6E, New GNSS with Beidou III-B1C and New Bluetooth 5.3: Smartphone users can enjoy seamless connectivity thanks to the chip’s support for the latest Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GNSS standards.
In the third quarter of 2022, MediaTek Dimensity 9000+-powered smartphones are anticipated to be released.
