MediaTek launched its Dimensity 9000 5G smartphone chip for next-generation flagship smartphones and announced device maker adoption and endorsements from some of the world’s biggest smartphone brands, including OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor.
The Dimensity 9000 is the world’s first smartphone built on the ultra-efficient TMSC N4 (4nm-class) production process – leads the industry in computing performance, gaming, imaging, multimedia and connectivity innovations. The first Dimensity 9000 powered flagship smartphones will be in the market in the first quarter of next year.
Dimensity 9000 integrates the cutting-edge Armv9 CPU architecture for a true flagship experience. The octa-core CPU has one ultra Cortex-X2 core operating at up to 3.05GHz, three performance A710 cores operating at up to 2.85GHz and four efficient Cortex-A510 cores. With the integrated LPDDR5X supporting up to 7500Mbps, along with an 8MB L3 cache and 6MB system cache, the Dimensity 9000 is built for the massive bandwidth demands of the mobile market.

“The Dimensity 9000 is a milestone for MediaTek, highlighting our rise to incredible with a true flagship 5G smartphone chip. This chip signals MediaTek and our Dimensity family has entered a new phase of innovation. The Dimensity 9000 is the most powerful and energy-efficient chip to date, delivering several industry firsts and a full suite of features for the most discerning tech enthusiasts,” said Dr Yenchi Lee, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit.
Dimensity 9000 packs the world’s first Arm Mali-G710 MC10 GPU in a smartphone chip. To further boost performance, the chipset integrates MediaTek’s HyperEngine 5.0, the fifth generation of MediaTek’s innovative gaming technology. HyperEngine 5.0 uses AI-acceleration to optimise graphics while reducing the GPU load, resulting in faster gameplay that looks better and is more power-efficient than ever.
HyperEngine also integrates AI-VRS, the first AI-enhanced variable-rate shading technology for smartphones, along with the industry’s first ray tracing software development kit (SDK) using Vulkan for Android.
Additionally, the chipset integrates MediaTek’s fifth-generation Application Processor Unit (APU 5.0), which offers 4X power efficiency gains compared to the previous generation APU, for the ideal balance of performance and power efficiency for a wide range of AI multimedia, gaming, camera and video experiences.
