MediaTek, whose smartphone chipsets accounted for about 53% of Q3 2025 revenue, faces a potential hit from a global memory shortage as DRAM and NAND prices surge, threatening SoC shipments even with the Dimensity 9600 on the horizon; competition from Qualcomm and Apple, plus MediaTek’s reliance on ARM-based designs, could pressure pricing and shipments through 2026 if memory constraints persist.
Even with a high price tag, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to appear in flagship Android devices from the world’s top five manufacturers on TSMC’s 2nm process, while a standard Gen 6 may be more widely used and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 could win over non-top brands, signaling a split between premium and budget chip strategies.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 is rumored to use TSMC’s N2P process and could become a popular choice for upcoming Oppo and Vivo flagships as OEMs seek alternatives to Qualcomm’s high-priced chips, with claims of potential performance and memory-bandwidth advantages, though official details are not yet confirmed.
