On January 15, MediaTek made a splash in the tech world by introducing two cutting-edge mobile chips: the Dimensity 9500s and the Dimensity 8500. The Dimensity 9500s is a powerhouse, leveraging a 3nm manufacturing process and an all-big-core architecture. Its octa-core CPU is a marvel of engineering, featuring 1 Cortex-X925 super-big core that can reach a blistering clock speed of up to 3.73GHz, alongside 3 Cortex-X4 super-big cores and 4 Cortex-A720 cores. This setup ensures seamless multitasking and lightning-fast performance.

Meanwhile, the Dimensity 8500 doesn't fall short in the specs department. It comes packed with a robust octa-core Mali-G720 GPU, which marks a significant leap forward. Compared to its predecessor, this GPU boasts a 25% surge in peak performance, making graphics-intensive tasks a breeze. Moreover, it achieves this while cutting power consumption at peak performance by 20%, striking an impressive balance between power and efficiency.
