MediaTek has announced its latest-gen flagship chip, the Dimensity 9200. The new chip based on the 2nd generation TSMC 4nm process (N4P) arrives with some firsts in the industry. Now, let's continue reading to find out what it serves!

The Dimensity 9200 is the first to launch with the Arm Cortex-X3 prime core clocked at 3.05Ghz and based on the ARMv9 architecture. The CPU also brings 3x Arm Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.85GHz and 4x Arm Cortex-A510 cores at 1.8GHz. Meanwhile, it also features an ARM Immortalis-G715 GPU with a hardware-based ray-tracing engine in the graphics department. Not only support Variable Rate Shading (VRS) but the machine learning performance also gets doubled compared to the predecessor and ARM Fixed Rate Compression (AFRC) for reduced bandwidth usage.

Furthermore, there's a sixth-generation AI Processing Unit as well. The APU 690 brings a 35% improvement over its predecessor in the ETHZ5.0 benchmark app. Support for LPDDR5X RAM is also present, alongside up to 8,533Mbps memory and UFS 4.0 storage for blazing-fast data transmission and direct storage access to the CPU cores.

Other features include up to two 5K resolution displays at 60Hz, WHQD at 144Hz and 1080p at 240Hz refresh rate, Wi-Fi 7 with up to 6.5Gbps data transfers, sub-6Ghz and mmWave 5G connectivity, and Bluetooth 5.3. The Imagiq 890 ISP brings native support for RGBW sensors alongside 34% more power savings. It also offers MediaTek's eXtreme Power Saving Technology as an AI-based feature that claims to use up to 30% less power.

The first smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9200 should arrive by the end of 2022. Therefore, we'll be seeing them very soon! Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech news.
