TL;DR
- MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.
- This brings larger CPU and GPU clock speeds over the vanilla Dimensity 9200.
- Anticipate the primary telephones with this chipset later this month.
The Dimensity 9200 is MediaTek‘s top-end smartphone processor in 2023, taking the battle to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Now, the Taiwanese chipmaker has introduced a mid-year refresh dubbed the Dimensity 9200 Plus.
True to earlier mid-year upgrades, the Dimensity 9200 Plus is identical chipset however with clock velocity upgrades to the CPU and GPU. Within the case of the previous, the Cortex-X3 huge core now hits 3.35GHz (from 3.05GHz), whereas the Cortex-A715 medium cores now hit 3GHz (beforehand 2.85GHz). These Cortex-A510 cores are nonetheless pegged at 1.8GHz. Both method, that 3.35GHz clock velocity is sort of an identical to the three.36GHz peak clock velocity within the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor.
MediaTek didn’t dish out a GPU clock velocity on the time of the Dimensity 9200’s launch, however it says that the Plus chipset’s GPU has obtained a 17% increase to clock velocity. In any other case, that is nonetheless the identical Mali-G715 Immortalis MC11 GPU as earlier than, full with hardware-based ray tracing.
Dimensity 9200 Plus: What else does it provide?
The remainder of the chipset remains to be the identical as the usual Dimensity 9200. So which means you’re getting an M80-based modem with mmWave 5G assist (7.9Gbps downlink), a sixth-generation APU, assist for as much as 240Hz refresh price at FHD+ resolutions, 8K recording capabilities, Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 7.
We thought the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 was a reasonably highly effective processor in our vivo X90 Professional evaluate. The telephone delivered aggressive single-core CPU efficiency whereas duking it out with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 telephones by way of GPU efficiency. Nevertheless, the vivo telephone lagged behind when it got here to multi-core CPU scores and GPU stress testing. We’re undecided if clock velocity boosts can be sufficient to deal with these weaknesses, however it definitely appears like a major improve for peak efficiency.
MediaTek says the primary telephones powered by the Dimensity 9200 Plus will arrive later this month. There’s no phrase on the supply of those units, although. For what it’s price, the vivo X90 Professional is the one Dimensity 9200 telephone in international markets.
