MediaTek has revealed an addition to its line of premium 5G chipsets designed to help the company compete on level footing at the upper end of the 스마트 폰 시장.
The new Dimensity 9000+ SoC slots in at the top of the MediaTek portfolio, bundling eight CPU cores based on Arm’s v9 architecture with an Arm Mali-G710 GPU.
As with the previous model, the chipset also boasts 8MB L3 cache, 6MB system cache, a high-performance modem, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support and an integrated APU for AI acceleration.
Although the specs are largely identical to the base Dimensity 9000, the new SoC is said to offer a material performance boost across graphical and traditional workloads, thanks to the ability to run cores at higher clock speeds.
Historically, MediaTek has played in the somewhat less sexy portions of the mobile chipset market, featuring inside budget and mid-range phones aimed at users for whom performance isn’t necessarily the priority.
작년 9000월 Dimensity XNUMX의 출시는 shift MediaTek은 전통적으로 Qualcomm이 지배했던 분야인 플래시십 모바일 장치에 처음으로 진출하려는 전략을 세울 것입니다.
MWC 2022에서는 테크레이더 프로 MediaTek의 영업 책임자인 Pascal Lemasson과 Rob Moffat와 이야기를 나누며 회사의 새로운 접근 방식과 새로운 Dimensity 칩의 중요성에 대한 추가 정보를 제공했습니다.
“전략은 고객에게 칩셋을 아래에서 위로 제공하는 것입니다. Dimensity 9000 이전에는 상단에 간격이 있었습니다.”라고 Moffat이 말했습니다. "지난 5년 동안 우리의 R&D 투자는 엄청났고 XNUMXG는 우리에게 엄청난 기회이기 때문에 고급 시장을 목표로 하기로 결정했습니다."
"궁극적으로 우리는 기술 리더십에 집중해야 합니다. 그러면 자동으로 최상위 제품으로 전환됩니다."
The arrival of the Dimensity 9000+, meanwhile, adds another string to the MediaTek bow, perhaps giving OEMs a difficult choice to make when selecting a configuration for their upcoming flagships.
“Building on the success of our first flagship 5G chipset, the Dimensity 9000+ ensures that device makers always have access to the most advanced high-performance features and the latest mobile technologies, making it possible for their top-tier smartphones to stand out,” said Dr. Yenchi Lee, Deputy GM of Wireless Communications at MediaTek.
“With a suite of top-tier AI, gaming, multimedia, imaging and connectivity features, the Dimensity 9000+ delivers faster gameplay, seamless streaming and an all-around better user experience.”
Smartphones based on the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ are set to go to market in the third quarter.
