MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC May Launch on November 8, Said to Perform Better than Apple A16 Bionic SoC

MediaTek supposedly is soon coming up with a new flagship MediaTek Dimensity chipset that multiple internet reports suggest that the company will be pairing with an Immortalis-G715 GPU. The MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC GFXBench graphics benchmark test results are reportedly making rounds all over the internet signalling a sooner launch. As per a popular social media tipster, “the Dimensity 9200 SoC’s GPU performance outshines the Apple A16 Bionic chip featured in the latest iPhone 14 series.” Amongst various other media reports, one suggests MediaTek’s upcoming chipset surely surpasses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in the AnTuTu benchmark test.

MediaTek too has confirmed the reports of the launch of its next flagship chipset. The company confirmed the chipset name to be the Dimensity 9200 SoC. As per company close sources, the new chipset will be revealed on November 8 at 2:30pm CST or 12pm IST. However, The company is yet to make public any other details about the event for the launch of the chipset.

While revealing the details of the chipset tests, a popular tech blogger wrote, “In related news, tipster Ice Universe (Twitter: @UniverseIce) has shared the alleged GFXBench test results of the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC. Supposedly being paired with an Immortalis-G715 GPU, this upcoming flagship chipset is said to have achieved 228fps in the ES 3.1 test. Meanwhile, it purportedly reached 328fps in the ES 3.0 test.”

As per the online claims by this popular tipster, Dimensity 9200 SoC’s GFXBench test performance is at par with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, it is the GPU department where the chipset outperforms the Apple A16 Bionic chip.

The same blogger also mentioned a recent report that reveals other details about the Dimensity 9200 SoC. It says, “the Dimensity 9200 SoC could feature a combination of Cortex-X3 and Cortex-A715 cores, paired with an Immortalis-G715 GPU. This MediaTek chipset reportedly offers better imaging performance. Moreover, it is also claimed that the chipset outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in the AnTuTu benchmark test.”

If multiple rumours can be paid any heed then it is widely speculated that the Vivo X90 series can become one of the first few smartphones to be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC, this next-generation chipset from MediaTek.

However, despite the AnTuTu test showing certain results, industry experts have its apprehensions when it comes to MediaTek chipsets outperforming Qualcomm. This is primarily because of how things have been in the past when test results show one thing on paper but in practical use, the results differ.

Previously a couple of years ago, the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor could not top the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor. Based on this past experience, many tech bloggers have expressed their scepticism regarding the practical usage of MediaTek’s chipset over Snapdragon. More details on this, however, can only be expected once the product is launched. Most tech experts have not really written off either of the chipsets yet and users can anticipate more updates as soon as the chipsets reach the consumer’s hands.
