MediaTek is coming closer to officially announcing the Dimensity 9500, which is why the top-end chipset was recently spotted in a benchmark test, where multiple specifications of the SoC were laid bare. However, the latest figures are not up to the mark, hinting that the results you are about to see are probably from the initial runs. After a few more tweaks, the Dimensity 9500 is expected to run at full throttle, giving us the complete picture of its capabilities.
The updated core configuration of the Dimensity 9500 is different compared to the one mentioned in a previous rumor
The latest results uploaded to Geekbench 6 do not provide the single-core and multi-core results of the Dimensity 9500, but instead, we get a look at the OpenCL score. The CPU ‘1 + 3 + 4’ CPU cluster is strikingly different from the ‘2 + 6’ configuration, hinting that MediaTek could be testing out two versions of its upcoming silicon. Also, the fastest clock speed recorded during the test was 3.23GHz, whereas a previous rumor claimed that the performance cores ran at 4.00GHz.
The engineering sample outfitted with the Dimensity 9500 featured 16GB RAM, with additional information mentioning that the graphics processor is a 12-core Mali-G1 Ultra. Although we have yet to witness a glimpse of the Dimensity 9500’s single-threaded and multi-threaded results, a tipster previously mentioned that it can outperform Apple’s A19 Pro in the multi-core test by obtaining a score of more than 11,000 points.
The single-core score is estimated to be more than 3,900 points, with MediaTek bringing in various changes to the Dimensity 9500 to ensure that the performance aspect will be one of the SoC’s strengths. Firstly, not only has the chipset’s L3 cache been bumped to 16MB, but its SLC cache has been increased to 10MB, not to mention that its Cortex-X930 is rumored to be faster than the A19 and A19 Pro.
The Dimensity 9500 may also support ARM’s SME, or Scalable Matrix Extension, which helps the silicon establish a new single-core and multi-core performance plateau that might only be matched by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. As for the current results, we recommend that readers patiently wait for some updated figures because these early test results can deliver a skewed impression.
