Igeekphone News, August 4th: The first half of 2025 has passed. Looking ahead to the smartphone market in the second half of the year, the first thing that cannot be ignored is the related news of the two major smartphone chip platforms. And today, blogger @i Ice Universe has leaked information related to Mediatek’s next-generation flagship mobile chip platform, Dimensity 9500.
According to the blogger’s revelation, the GPU capability of the Dimensity 9500 will be significantly enhanced, with energy efficiency increasing by more than 40% compared to the previous generation. Its peak performance is also top-notch, with ray tracing performance surging by over 40%.
At the same time, he also stated that the ray tracing frame rate of mobile phones is expected to exceed 100 frames this year. “The experience of 100 frames in ray tracing for mobile games will be extremely explosive. Mediatek has fully unleashed the performance potential of Arm’s latest GPU Drage.”
The GPU mentioned here refers to Arm’s new generation Drage Immortalis GPU, which will adopt a brand-new microarchitecture and significantly enhance its capabilities. Previously, Chris Bergey, Arm’s senior vice president and general manager of the End Products Division, disclosed that This GPU will incorporate support for Arm ASR super-resolution technology.
With the support of the latest generation of Gpus, flagship phones equipped with the Dimensity 9500 are expected to achieve an experience of over 100 frames per second in mobile game ray tracing. This will undoubtedly be an important milestone for the development and popularization of mobile ray tracing.
Mediatek is one of the earliest explorers of mobile ray tracing technology. On the Dimensity 9200, Mediatek adopted the first-generation ray tracing technology, which can achieve a reflection shadow effect of 30fps. With the Dimensity 9300, Mediatek has achieved a 60fps ray tracing global illumination effect. The Dimensity 9400 features a 90fps OMM mobile ray tracing effect, significantly enhancing ray tracing rendering efficiency, reducing power consumption and resource usage. Theoretically, the Dimensity 9500 will be Mediatek’s fourth-generation ray tracing technology. The experience of over 100 frames per second is highly anticipated, and it also allows us to witness the evolution of each generation of Mediatek’s ray tracing technology.
Igeekphone has summarized previous leaks. The Dimensity 9500 processor will adopt a more aggressive all-large-core architecture, featuring the X930 super-large core all-large-core CPU architecture for the first time. It will be equipped with 16MB L3 cache and 10MB SLC cache, and all CPU/GPU/NPU ips will be updated.
Previously, the blogger @Digital Chat Station also claimed that the theoretical Geekbench 6 single-core score of the Dimensity 9500 exceeded 3900 points, and the multi-core score exceeded 11,000 points. Compared with the Dimensity 9400, the single-core score has improved by 34.5%, and the multi-core score has improved by 19.6%.
