MediaTek Android

Today on X, MediaTek has revealed when it plans to unveil its next flagship Dimensity SoC: on September 15 at 2:30 PM in China. That's 2:30 AM in New York, 7:30 AM in London, 8:30 AM in Central Europe, 9:30 AM in Eastern Europe, and 12 PM in India.

According to the post on X, the new product is a "pro chip", enabling a "pro experience", but it also comes with "pro efficiency" and "pro imaging", supporting 4k240fps slow-motion. "Pro gaming" hasn't been forgotten either, with the company promising "AI-enhanced graphics", an upgraded HyperEngine, and "immersive ray tracing".

So it seems like the rumors were right and this will be the Dimensity 9600 Pro SoC. Now it remains to be seen whether there will also be a Pro Max variant, and/or a 'vanilla' non-Pro Dimensity 9600. Thankfully, we don't have much to wait to get the official answer.

9600s is more or less a 9500 with 1 less GPU core... It's cheap because it's recycled soc with failure (like soc in iphone 17e or macbook neo) But it's powerfull enough

Why did you conclude that it wouldn't be better in terms of efficiency? Isn't the new 2nm manufacturing process for the 9600 series going to be better and more efficient than the 3nm manufacturing process for the 9500 series?
