A few months in the past, Mediatek launched its present flagship processor for cellular gadgets, the Dimensity 9400. Proper after the launch, the primary leak in regards to the model’s subsequent flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9500, got here in, claiming that it is going to be made utilizing TSMC’s 2nm fabrication course of. Properly, right this moment now we have one other leak that reveals some fascinating details about the upcoming SoC.
Based on a preferred tipster from China, Digital Chat Station, the Mediatek Dimensity 9500 will characteristic two Cortex-X930 prime cores and 6 Cortex-A730 high-performance cores with a clock pace of over 4GHz and Scalable Matrix Extension (SME).
The story continues after the video…
The tipster claims that it is going to be made utilizing TSMC’s N3P know-how relatively than the model’s 2nm fabrication course of because the earlier leak claimed. Whereas N3P may not be as power-efficient because the 2nm, course of, it’s nonetheless higher than 9400’s N3E course of.
In the meanwhile, there isn’t any details about why Mediatek is not utilizing TSMC’s 2nm course of however we suspect that is as a result of Apple might need already booked TSMC’s full 2nm manufacturing capability for the Apple A19 processor for the iPhone 17 sequence.
Exynos 2600’s 2nm course of may give it an edge over Dimensity 2600
Contemplating that Mediatek launched the Dimensity 9400 in October this yr, we count on the corporate to launch the Dimensity 9500 across the similar month subsequent yr (October 2025). That’s across the similar time Samsung may announce the Exynos 2600 SoC.
The Exynos 2600 is predicted to be made on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm fabrication course of. That may give it an edge over the Dimensity 9500 when it comes to efficiency and effectivity, serving to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and the S26 sequence, which may very well be the primary set of telephones to make use of the SoC, beat their rivals. Nevertheless, specs on paper inform solely half the story. So, we’ll have to attend until their benchmarks arrive.
