- MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.
- This brings higher CPU and GPU clock speeds over the vanilla Dimensity 9200.
- Expect the first phones with this chipset later this month.
The Dimensity 9200 is MediaTek‘s top-end smartphone processor in 2023, taking the fight to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Now, the Taiwanese chipmaker has announced a mid-year refresh dubbed the Dimensity 9200 Plus.
True to previous mid-year upgrades, the Dimensity 9200 Plus is the same chipset but with clock speed upgrades to the CPU and GPU. In the case of the former, the Cortex-X3 big core now hits 3.35GHz (from 3.05GHz), while the Cortex-A715 medium cores now hit 3GHz (previously 2.85GHz). Those Cortex-A510 cores are still pegged at 1.8GHz. Either way, that 3.35GHz clock speed is almost identical to the 3.36GHz peak clock speed in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor.
