A few months after unveiling the Dimensity 9400+, MediaTek's next flagship chipset—the Dimensity 9500—has now made its first appearance on Geekbench, offering a glimpse into the company's continued push in high-performance mobile silicon. The benchmark listing hints at some key architectural choices. You can check out the image below for reference.
From what's visible, the Dimensity 9500 retains an octa-core setup, reportedly structured as 1 x Travis, 3 x Alto, and 4 x Gelas cores, continuing MediaTek's custom naming convention for core clusters.
However, according to prominent leaker Digital Chat Station, the upcoming chip could debut a 3.23 GHz Cortex-X930 prime core for the very first time. It's said to be paired with three cores clocked at 3.03 GHz and four cores at 2.23 GHz. These are early sampling frequencies and may be subject to change ahead of the final release.
In terms of graphics, the SoC is expected to feature the all-new Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 GPU. The Geekbench listing also reveals that the test device used for benchmarking was running Android 16 and came equipped with 16GB of RAM.
Geekbench 6 Scores and Other Details
Whispers from the rumour mill suggest that MediaTek's upcoming flagship chipset will be powered by an Immortalis-Drage GPU, paired with a revamped microarchitecture focused on two things: smoother ray tracing and better power efficiency.
Performance-wise, it's shaping up to be a beast. Geekbench 6 scores are reportedly impressive, with the single-core result topping 3900 and the multi-core score expected to break past 11,000.
Beyond raw performance, the chip is said to feature 10MB of system-level cache (SLC), the upgraded NPU 9.0, and a massive 100 TOPS of AI computing power. It's also tipped to support blazing-fast 10,667 Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and quad-channel UFS 4.1 storage; clearly aimed at flagship-tier devices.
As for when we'll see it in action, early September 2025 seems to be the target window. Keep an eye on MySmartPrice for all the official updates as the launch gets closer.
