MediaTek unveils Dimensity 9600 Pro, a 2 nm chip for premium Android phones
Aimed at the next generation of ultra-premium Android handsets, the processor promises more power, more AI and a clear drop in power use.
MediaTek has unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro, a processor the company aims at the next generation of ultra-premium Android smartphones. The chip is built on a 2 nm process, a point the Taiwanese manufacturer highlights for this class of product.
MediaTek promises three main gains over earlier generations: more computing power, more artificial intelligence features and a clear drop in power consumption. The company gives no figures for any of them in the announcement.
For buyers, the stakes are concrete. This is the kind of component that shapes how smooth a phone feels, how quickly its AI features respond and how long the battery lasts. MediaTek is aiming at the most expensive part of the Android market, where competition is toughest.
No phone names, no release date and no partners have been announced. The first devices using the chip are still to be confirmed.
