People are waiting for MediaTek's new top phone brain, the Dimensity 9500. It just got tested, showing parts of what it can do. Still, the test might be early, hinting it can do much more.
A new Geekbench 6 test for the Dimensity 9500 didn't tell us about its main brain power but shared an OpenCL score. A '1 + 3 + 4' setup was noted, unlike the '2 + 6' setup thought before. This may mean MediaTek is trying new ideas. The fastest speed seen was 3.23GHz, though earlier talk was about speeds up to 4.00GHz.
The test gadget had 16GB of RAM. The test also showed the graphics are a 12-core Mali-G1 Ultra.
This test didn't give main brain power details, but people think well of the Dimensity 9500. Some say it might beat Apple's A19 Pro in tests with scores over 11,000 points. The single-unit score is said to be over 3,900 points.
To meet these hopes, room has been made for big updates. This means more memory and better cores. Also, MediaTek might add ARM's new tech (SME), making it strongly match others like Qualcomm.
Keep in mind these early test numbers might change. Brain parts are tweaked and refined before they come out. So, it's smart to wait for more tests to really know what the Dimensity 9500 can do when it's fully ready.
