Like that chip, this is high-end hardware intended for premium phones only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t a true successor \u2013 expect that to arrive some time towards the end of the year \u2013 but a half-step upgrade, with enhancements made to the same base 4nm hardware.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key change is an upgrade to the CPU\u2019s Cortex-X2 prime core, which runs at 3.2GHz in the 9000 Pro \u2013 up from 3.05GHz in the regular 9000 \u2013 though the remaining seven CPU cores are unchanged from the previous iteration, resulting in an overall performance improvement of around 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GPU has had an upgrade too. The 9000+ still uses a Mali-G710 chip, but MediaTek says it\u2019s made tweaks to deliver a 10% boost in graphics performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those might not sound like dramatic gains, but they\u2019re enough to bring the 9000+ right in line with rival Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, itself announced almost exactly a month ago. That chip also upgraded to a 3.2GHz clock speed on its prime CPU core, and boasts 10% GPU gains along with some power efficiency improvements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, the big question is which phones will be powered by the Dimensity 9000+. While Qualcomm has already announced the 8+ Gen 1 will appear in phones from Asus, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and more, MediaTek usually waits a few weeks to announce OEM partners, so there are no phones or manufacturers confirmed so far \u2013 though the company has confirmed the first handsets should arrive in Q3 2022, aka July-September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Laptop Battery<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/hotproduct.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Products<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chipset company MediaTek has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone silicon: the Dimensity 9000+.
