MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chip takes on Samsung, beats Qualcomm to the 2nm finish line
MediaTek has unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro, a flagship processor built on a 2nm architecture that positions it as a direct competitor to Samsung's Exynos 2600. The chip introduces a Fusion Architecture designed to optimize agentic AI by splitting tasks between the CPU and NPU for parallel processing. This new system also features a dual NPU setup and an integrated GPU NPU, delivering significant improvements in AI performance and power efficiency.
- ▪The Dimensity 9600 Pro is based on a 2nm architecture and utilizes a 2+3+3 core configuration with support for LPDDR6 and UFS 5 memory.
- ▪The chip's Fusion Architecture allows the CPU and NPU to process AI tasks simultaneously, reducing latency for agentic AI applications.
- ▪The dual NPU system provides a 51% performance increase and a 40% power efficiency improvement compared to the previous generation NPU 1090.
- ▪The processor features an all big-core design that offers a 17% single-core and 15% multi-core performance boost over its predecessor.
- ▪The integrated GPU includes a third-generation ray-tracing engine that improves ray-traced game performance by 18% and supports up to 185fps.
