Dimensity 9200 vs Dimensity 9000

While some of the features such as the maximum CPU frequencies for all cores and the 4nm process are the same as the previous generation MediaTek Dimensity 9000, the new Dimensity 9200 upgrade to the latest standards such as UFS 4.0, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, etc… and deliver significantly higher performance and efficiency as can be seen in the comparison above.

The Dimensity 9200 notably offers 10% extra CPU performance switching from a Cortex-X2 to Cortex-X3 core, provides up to 30% power savings with AI-NR and 45% power savings with AI-SR in all visual applications, and the new 6th generation APU 690 delivers up to 35% faster performance in ETHZ5.0 benchmark (aka AI Benchmark) compared to the fifth generation APU found in the Dimensity 9000.

The company says device manufacturers can use MediaTek’s Dimensity Open Resource Architecture (DORA) to customize the Dimensity 9200 features based on their requirements, so the specifications listed above may vary from model to model. The company expected Dimensity 9200 smartphone to become available as soon as the end of 2022. Additional information may be found on the product page and press release.

  1. SME = Shared Memory Engine or Shared Memory Efficiency? Take your pick:

    DMA = Direct Memory Access?

  3. Dimensity series really turned out to be a force reckoned with
    I really wish efficiency had more focus than performance. Most users don’t actually need more than mid-range CPU/GPU and a good camera

    1. The biggest gains they are advertising are in power efficiency, and a faster CPU completes tasks faster and goes back to idling.

      They probably have to launch flagship first to compete with Qualcomm, etc. They are also using standard ARM designs here, so I’m not sure how much innovation they can actually deliver on the CPU/GPU side. Eventually, they will launch a midrange chip on TSMC N4 and that will be more relevant to the masses.

      Smartphone SoCs are getting so powerful that there should be a focus on desktop modes again.

  4. It’s great that Mediatek dimensity 9200 focuses on the performance and efficiency of smartphones. The latest Wi-Fi-7 setup enhances the connectivity.
