Dimensity 9000 is a 4nm process chipset, with octa-core processor, LPDDR5X RAM support, and many more features. Here’s the summary:
Why you can trust Pocket-lint LAGUNA BEACH, USA (Pocket-lint) — MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9000, which is set to take on Qualcomm’s yet-to-be-revealed Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platform in the race for the best top-end chipset for 2022. With the top-end Dimensity 1200 already in the market, you might be wondering why Dimensity 9000 is important. Well, it uses the latest 4nm production process, bringing additional advantages across a variety of key areas. So should it be the chipset that you want in your next flagship device? Here’s a summary of what Dimensity 9000 can support and why that matters. How powerful is Dimensity 9000? 4nm system-on-chip (SoC) with octa-core CPU: 1x ‘Ultra core’: Arm Cortex-X2 to 3.05GHz 3x ‘Super cores’: Arm Cortex-A710 to 2.85GHz 4x ‘Efficiency cores’: Arm Cortex-A510 LPDDR5X memory support (7500Mbps) 5th gen AI processing unit (APU) Interestingly, MediaTek has ‘skipped’ a generation: the Dimensity 1200 is a 6nm process, while the Dimensity 9000 jumps straight to 4nm, effectively bypassing 5nm. Ultimately that smaller figure means shorter travel for current within the CPU and therefore greater efficiency and power savings. That goes hand-in-hand with support for LPDDR5X RAM, which is approaching 25 per cent faster than the previous generation, and again is designed for lower power consumption when delivering 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and edge applications. What features does Dimensity 9000 support? But it’s really the support for key areas of flagship phones where Dimensity 9000 shows-off just what it can do. Cameras 320-megapixel camera resolution support The Dimensity 9000 supports a whopping 320-megapixels — the maximum previously was 200MP — which makes it the first flagship mobile processor to provide such support. The image signal processor (ISP) is a massive 9 Gigapixels per second.
