New flagship chipset from MediaTek, the Dimensity 9200, features ARM Cortex-X3 CPU and Immortalis-G715 GPU cores built on the TSMC N4P node.

 The Dimensity 9200, MediaTek's newest flagship chipset and the company's first to feature ARM's Cortex-X3 GPU, has been introduced. The Dimensity 9200, which is based on the TSMC N4P node, guarantees to give superior performance over the Dimensity 9000 while using much less power.

The newest 5G chipset from MediaTek, the Dimensity 9200, has been made public. The Dimensity 9200, touted as being created to power "the next era of flagship smartphones," is the first smartphone SoC in the world to include an ARM Cortex X3 CPU core. The Immortalis-G715, a GPU from ARM that offers hardware-based ray tracing and Wi-Fi 7 Ready connectivity, is also featured for the first time in the Dimensity 9200.

The Dimensity 9200 is also said to be the first device from MediaTek to feature an RGBW ISP and LPDDR5X RAM operating at 8533 Mbps. The Dimensity 9200 also uses the second-generation Armv9 architecture from ARM and the second-generation 4 nm N4P manufacturing process from TSMC. To serve as a point of comparison, MediaTek equipped the Dimensity 9200 with the following CPU cores:

• 1x Cortex-X3 - 3.05 GHz
• 3x Cortex-A715 - 2.85 GHz
• 4x Cortex-A510 - 1.8 GHz

According to reports, the new MediaTek chipset performs 12% better in the single-core test in Geekbench 5.0 than the Dimensity 9000. In multi-core work, the gap is reduced to 10%, though. In light of this, the Dimensity 9200 utilizes 41% less power than the Dimensity 9000 while also offering 25% lower power consumption while under load, 10% better heat dissipation capabilities, and up to 32% greater GPU performance in Manhattan 3.0.

AnTuTu v9 results for the Dimensity 9200 total 1,260,000, according to MediaTek, which is much more than any scores for a contemporary flagship. As of right now, MediaTek has only said that the Dimensity 9200 will be available "before the end of 2022." Unfortunately, it is still unknown which smartphones will use the Dimensity 9200 or how it will stack up against the impending Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
