MediaTek Dimensity 9500: status and expected specifications

At the time of publication, MediaTek has not announced the Dimensity 9500 or disclosed official specifications; the information below is based on leaks and the typical evolution of the company’s flagships.

At a glance

  • Possible announcement — late September 2025.

  • A spicy insider detail: a presentation one day before a key competitor’s release.

  • Focus areas: a stronger NPU, a noticeable GPU uplift (including hardware ray tracing), fast memory and connectivity.

  • Process node — 3 nm (TSMC N3 family).

  • Among early devices most frequently mentioned is OPPO Find X9.

Confidence levels

High: 3 nm TSMC; LPDDR5X/LPDDR5T (≈10.6 Gbit/s effective); UFS 4.1 with MCQ; Wi-Fi 7; emphasis on a stronger NPU and a GPU step-up with hardware RT.
Medium: announcement window “late September” with “minus one day” vs. a competitor; CPU caches up to ~16 MB L3 and ~10 MB SLC; early devices — OPPO Find X9 series.
Discrepancies:
— CPU layout: early 2× Cortex-X930 up to ~4.0 GHz + 6× Cortex-A730 ~2.2–2.7 GHz versus the more recent 1× X930 ~4.21 GHz + 3× X930 ~3.5 GHz + 4× A730 ~2.7 GHz;
— GPU: either next-gen Immortalis, or a configuration “Mali-G1 Ultra MC12” around 1.0 GHz;
— NPU: “NPU 9.0” with a ~100 TOPS pointer (method not specified).

Positioning and key focuses

Expected segment — ultra-premium and premium. The focus is efficient CPU performance, a powerful GPU with hardware RT, on-device AI driven by a strengthened NPU, and an improved ISP for multi-camera systems, night shooting, and HDR video.

CPU architecture

  • Early version (late-2024 — early-2025): 2 + 62× Cortex-X930 up to ~4.0 GHz and 6× Cortex-A730 ~2.2–2.7 GHz (a rounded 2.4 GHz also appeared).

  • More recent version (early September 2025): 1 + 3 + 41× X930 up to ~4.21 GHz, 3× X930 up to ~3.5 GHz, 4× A730 up to ~2.7 GHz.

  • Additional mentions include caches up to ~16 MB L3 and ~10 MB SLC, as well as support for ARM SME (Scalable Matrix Extension).

Graphics (GPU) and ray tracing

A noticeable increase in performance and FPS stability is expected; support for modern APIs (Vulkan, OpenGL ES); and high-refresh displays up to 144–165 Hz in the QHD class. Reports diverge between a new Immortalis and a “Mali-G1 Ultra MC12” configuration around 1.0 GHz.

NPU and on-device AI

NPU 9.0” appears with a pointer up to ~100 TOPS. Since precision and methodology are not disclosed, the figure is indicative. Expected on-device scenarios: video super-resolution, improved night and photo processing, object matching, and a local assistant.

Memory and storage

LPDDR5X/LPDDR5T with top effective modes up to ~10,667 Mbit/s, and UFS 4.1 with MCQ — to speed heavy-app launches, improve parallel I/O, and provide stable high-bitrate HDR video recording.
Glossary: MCQ — multi-command queue; ARM SME — an ARM extension that accelerates matrix computations on CPU.

Connectivity

Wi-Fi 7, 5G with expanded carrier aggregation (often linked to 3GPP Rel-17/18), current versions of Bluetooth and GNSS.

Multimedia and ISP

An improved night pipeline, broader HDR, faster autofocus and stabilization powered by AI algorithms; hardware AV1 decoding at high resolutions; recording up to 4K 60–120 fps with HDR.

Power efficiency and process

One of TSMC’s 3 nm nodes with an emphasis on reducing leakage and maintaining high clocks in short boost windows within a moderate thermal budget; mentions include expanded DVFS and predictive power management for CPU/GPU/NPU.

Potential launch devices

The OPPO Find X9 series is most frequently mentioned.

Conclusion

The combined expectations portray a flagship with a strengthened NPU, a significant GPU leap (including hardware RT), fast memory and connectivity, and an advanced ISP. Status: not announced; all parameters above reflect current leaks.
