MediaTek is the world’s most popular smartphone chipmaker, largely due to its presence in the mid-range and low-end segments. However, the firm’s Dimensity 9000 chips have consistently delivered high-end horsepower and features to match and sometimes beat Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 series chips. Now, MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9600 Pro, which is expected to take on Qualcomm’s upcoming chipset.
The Dimensity 9600 Pro is the firm’s first 2nm smartphone chip, manufactured in partnership with TSMC. This is the third major 2nm mobile chipset, following the Samsung Exynos 2600 early this year and the recently announced Apple A20 Pro.
