MediaTek introduced its latest flagship chipset – Dimensity 9200 and brought several firsts in the smartphone industry. This is the first chipset based on ARM Cortex-X3 Prime core at 3.05 GHz and ARMv9 architecture. The CPU brings 3x Arm Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.85GHz and 4x Arm Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The new chip is manufactured on the 2nd generation TSMC 4nm process (N4P).
The second breakthrough is in the graphics department where we have the ARM Immortalis-G715 GPU with a hardware-based ray tracing engine – another first in the industry. The new flagship graphics unit brings Variable Rate Shading (VRS), dual machine learning performance compared to its predecessor, and ARM Fixed Rate Compression (AFRC) for reduced bandwidth usage.
MediaTek is introducing a sixth-generation AI processing unit – APU 690, which brings a 35% improvement over its predecessor in the ETHZ5.0 benchmark application. The chipset also brings support for fast LPDDR5X RAM with up to 8,533Mbps memory and UFS 4.0 storage for faster data transfer and direct storage to CPU cores.
