MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Poised to Challenge Apple A19 with ARM Cortex-X930 Performance
Rumors suggest that MediaTek's Dimensity 9500, potentially featuring the new Cortex-X930 CPU, may outperform Apple's upcoming A19 and A19 Pro chips in multi-core performance, with the Cortex-X930 possibly surpassing Apple’s flagship SoCs, though it's unclear if this is in performance or efficiency. The chips are expected to be built on TSMC’s 3nm process, and the Dimensity 9500 might also exceed Apple’s M4 in single-threaded workloads, marking a significant step in competing with Apple’s silicon. The actual performance will be clearer with the launch of the iPhone 17 and the new chips later this year.
