Motorola's 2026 Moto G series offers minor upgrades over the 2025 models, with the main changes being a larger battery and a new selfie camera, but overall it remains a very similar and modest update for budget phones, starting at under $200.
Qualcomm and MediaTek are considering shifting their 2nm chipset production to Samsung due to TSMC's significant price hikes, with Samsung's progress in 2nm GAA process making it a plausible alternative. Qualcomm has reportedly evaluated a 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and MediaTek has completed its first 2nm SoC tape-out, both seeking to reduce costs amid rising chip prices. Samsung, with its current 50% yield rate, stands to benefit by securing future orders, though it faces challenges in rebuilding trust with these companies.
MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chipset boasts a remarkable 4.5 Teraflops of FP32 compute power, surpassing the Xbox Series S, thanks to its advanced ARM Mali-G1 Ultra GPU, though real-world performance is limited by memory bandwidth and heat dissipation issues. It is optimized for demanding gaming engines like Unreal Engine 5.5 and can deliver up to 119% faster ray tracing, potentially enabling 120FPS gameplay, but lacks AAA game testing at this stage.
MediaTek has launched the Dimensity 9500, its most advanced mobile platform, featuring industry-leading AI, gaming, and power efficiency capabilities, designed to enhance next-generation flagship 5G smartphones with significant performance improvements and innovative AI features.
MediaTek's Dimensity 9500, a third-generation all big-core SoC built on a 3nm process, offers significant improvements in efficiency, multi-core performance, AI processing, and gaming capabilities, with flagship devices from Vivo and Oppo expected to launch by the end of 2023.
MediaTek has launched the Dimensity 9500, a new AI-capable mobile processor made with advanced 3nm technology, aiming to compete with Qualcomm and enhance AI features in smartphones, with devices expected in Q4; the global smartphone market growth remains modest, and the company is also exploring automotive chip production in the US.
Acer's new Chromebook Plus Spin 514, powered by MediaTek's efficient Arm chip, offers promising battery life and a versatile touchscreen design, making it a competitive alternative in the Chromebook market, especially for those who value convertible features and decent port options.
MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9500 chipset is set to significantly outperform its predecessors with higher clock speeds, increased cache, a new GPU microarchitecture, and advanced AI capabilities, promising top-tier performance upon its launch.
Samsung is set to release the Galaxy Tab S11, an 11-inch flagship tablet featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, a 2560×1600 OLED display, up to 12GB RAM, and multiple storage options, returning after a hiatus with a design similar to previous models and expected to launch soon.
MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9500 chipset is expected to boost flagship chipset shipments by 33% in 2024, reaching 24 million units, primarily driven by Chinese OEM partnerships and competitive pricing, with the company maintaining a strong presence in China and growing in other Asian markets.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is rumored to be announced on September 22, just a day before Qualcomm unveils its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 at the Snapdragon Summit, giving MediaTek a potential early advantage in the flagship chipset race. The new chip is expected to leverage TSMC's 3nm process, feature a '2 + 6' CPU configuration, and support ARM’s SME, promising up to 20% performance improvements.
A leak reveals that the Pixel 10 Pro will continue to use the Exynos 5400 modem despite switching to a TSMC-produced Tensor G5 chipset, contradicting earlier reports of a MediaTek modem. The device will feature 16GB RAM, 256GB storage, and is expected to launch on August 13.
Nvidia is developing an Arm-based APU in collaboration with MediaTek, which could debut in Alienware gaming laptops later this year or early 2026, potentially improving Windows on Arm gaming performance and challenging Qualcomm's dominance in the Arm CPU market.
NVIDIA and MediaTek are reportedly developing a dedicated APU for gaming laptops, expected to launch by early 2024, initially exclusive to Dell's Alienware lineup, aiming to compete in the mobile processor market dominated by AMD and Intel.
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.
