MediaTek is developing its 2025 flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9500, expected to be highly advanced. It will be manufactured on TSMC’s N3P node and feature an all-large CPU core architecture, including configurations of 1x Travis, 3x Alto, and 4x Gelas cores, with Travis rumored to exceed 4GHz. The chipset will have 16MB L3 cache and support LPDDR5X RAM at 10,667Mbps, along with a GPU featuring enhanced ray tracing. Its NPU 9.0 aims for 100 TOPS in AI processing. The Dimensity 9500 is likely to launch in October or November, following the upcoming Dimensity 8450.

<p>MediaTek is developing its flagship chipset for 2025, and early reports from <i>Digital Chat Station</i> suggest it will be quite impressive. This chip will be manufactured using TSMC’s N3P technology (not to be confused with the N3E used in the 9400 and 9400+), featuring an all-large CPU core architecture along with a considerably more robust NPU.</p>
<p>The leak reveals that the Dimensity 9500 will have the following CPU setup: 1x Travis + 3x Alto + 4x Gelas. While details about Alto remain unclear, Travis and Gelas refer to the upcoming Cortex-X and Cortex-A7xx cores from ARM, as shown in this roadmap from WikiChip:</p>

<p>Alto is not a minor core, with Nevis being the new Cortex-A5xx, so it may represent a variation of one of the previous A7xx cores. There are rumors that Travis will achieve clock speeds exceeding 4GHz.</p>
<p>In terms of additional specifications, the chipset will feature 16MB of L3 cache and 10MB of system-level cache. Additionally, it will support LPDDR5X RAM (up to 10,667Mbps) and 4-lane UFS 4.1.</p>
<p>The GPU will be an Immortalis-Dagra, boasting enhanced ray tracing capabilities while consuming less power.</p>
<p>AI processing will be boosted by the NPU 9.0, anticipated to reach 100 TOPS. While no official figures for the Dimensity 9400 have been released, some reports suggest it may be around 50 TOPS, with some figures indicating even higher performance.</p>
<p>PS. <i>Digital Chat Station</i> has hinted that MediaTek will soon unveil the Dimensity 8450. The release of the Dimensity 9500 is expected around October or November.</p>
