- MediaTek Dimensity 9600 SoC is in the works, expected to be fabbed on 2nm chipset.
- This gives Dimensity 9600 SoC a much-needed boost in terms of performance with an all-big core setup.
- The chipset is likely to rival Apple A19 Pro/A20 Pro's single-core performance, and will release around the same time.
Just a day after we uncovered information on the Dimensity 8600, it’s time for the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 SoC, the flagship chipset, to shine, as it is being developed as a first-generation 2nm chipset. Tipster Digital Chat Station took it to Weibo to discuss the upcoming chipset, as it is expected to make a significant performance upgrade.
MediaTek Dimensity 9600 SoC to bring major upgrades
Digital Chat Station (DCS) shared a few details about the upcoming Dimensity 9600 SoC. The flagship chipset is likely to bring a 2+3+3 core all-big CPU architecture, which is something many flagship chipsets are going forward with. What makes this special is that Dimensity 9600 will be based on the first-generation 2nm process, a huge upgrade over the 3nm Dimensity 9500 SoC. This should translate into better performance, lower power consumption, and, of course, much-needed competition with the likes of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and A19 Pro or A20 Pro.
The tipster further mentions how the Dimensity 9600 will see a next-gen Magin GPU, an upgrade over the predecessor, and larger graphics units than ever before. This should allow the chipset to support native-level frame interpolation, improved ray tracing capabilities, super-resolution technologies, and, thus, improved overall rendering efficiency.

Just as the Dimensity 8600 SoC will triumph over the Dimensity 8500 in the upper-midrange segment, the Dimensity 9600 SoC will bring a much bigger difference in performance compared to the predecessor, although take it with a pinch of salt.
As for the Dimensity 9600 SoC launch, we have to wait until September 2026 to see it make its debut. The Vivo X500 Pro, Oppo Find X10 Pro, and Pro Max are among the first takers of the chipset, blowing cover in the same month. Note that we could see a bit of delay in launches until September as nothing has been confirmed just yet.

Qualcomm is working aggressively to ensure its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon Gen 6 Pro arrive in September as well. Here, the Xiaomi 18 series will be the first picker, although other smartphone makers have already signed up to roll out their flagship phones within weeks after the chipset actually arrives.
