A leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station reveals that MediaTek’s upcoming flagship processor, the Dimensity 9500, has already scored over 4 million points on the yet-to-be-released AnTuTu v11 benchmark test. This milestone signals a new peak in smartphone performance, even before the official launch of the chip or benchmarking app.
Why Does the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Score So High?
The leak suggests the Dimensity 9500’s score is boosted significantly by advances in storage technology. Manufacturer test units running the chip with 1TB 4-lane UFS 4.1 storage could see adds of 80,000 to 100,000 points on top of raw CPU and GPU results, highlighting the importance of storage speed in contemporary benchmarks.
Dimensity 9500 Technical Highlights
- The chip sticks closely to ARM’s reference CPU designs, with four Cortex-X930 cores (three slightly clocked down) and four Cortex-A730 efficiency cores.
- It sports a 12-core Mali-G715 Ultra GPU for strong graphics performance.
- The fastest CPU core reportedly reaches up to 4.00GHz—competitive though behind Qualcomm’s rumored Snapdragon 8 Elite 2’s 4.74GHz.
- Built using TSMC’s 3nm process technology, the chip supports advanced features like ARM’s Scalable Matrix Extension (SME), enhancing AI and machine learning capabilities.
Geekbench 6 scores already show strong performance with a single-core score above 3,900 and multi-core exceeding 11,000.
Upcoming Launch and Competition
MediaTek is expected to officially unveil the Dimensity 9500 on September 22, 2025, just a day before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 launch. Several smartphone makers will likely release devices powered by this chip shortly afterward, marking an exciting phase in flagship mobile performance wars.
The Dimensity 9500’s breakthrough AnTuTu v11 benchmark score promises powerful real-world usage, especially when paired with modern storage solutions, and sets high expectations for the next generation of premium Android smartphones.
