Improving the reliability and lessening the lag, MediaTek has announced its next flagship SoC – Dimensity 9200, which is WiFi 7 ready.
Well, the company mentioned that users need to have a compatible network chipset and a supported WiFi router to see the mind-boggling speeds, which could be up to 6.5Gbps, theoretically. Aside from this, it’s also the first mobile chip to use an ARMv9 Gen 2 architecture and ARM’s new Immortalis-G715 GPU.
Dimensity 9200 GPU Specifications
With the introduction of the Dimensity series , MediaTek is slowly moving from being a simple budget phone chip maker to power flagships and standing head-to-head against Qualcomm. The latest offering from MediaTek will take the company even further which is Dimensity 9200 .
As per its announcement , the new Dimensity 9200 is ready for leveraging WiFi 7 capabilities, where it theoretically hits up to 6.5Gbps if hooked with a compatible network chipset and a WiFi router. Aside from this, it’s the first MediaTek chip to support both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G bands.
Further, it’s the first mobile chip to use an ARMv9 Gen 2 architecture, with a single yet huge Cortex-X3 core for handling the most demanding tasks, along with three other Cortex-A715 performance cores. There’s another set of four Cortex-A510 low-power cores for saving battery life .
MediaTek says this new setup has a 10-12% boost over its predecessor, Dimensity 9000, in synthetic tests while also reducing consumption by a grand 25%. Further, the Dimensity 9200 has the ARM’s new Immortalis-G715 GPU – which supports hardware ray tracing and is upto 32% faster than the GPU in the Dimensity 9000.
Lastly, the new chip has an Imagiq 890 image signal processor that supports RGBW camera sensors – which promises more brightness and detail in photos than a plain RGB. All this setup combined supports the UFS 4.0 storage, the latest LPDDR5X memory (8.5Gbps), and 24-bit/192KHz audio.
Flagship phones equipped with Dimensity 9200 will come late next month and may stand straight up against phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
