Overview
- MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro, which it announced Tuesday, September 15, 2026, as its first commercial SoC built on TSMC’s 2nm node and introduced a companion 9600M for wider flagship reach.
- The company says the 9600 Pro uses a 2+3+3 all‑big‑core CPU, a larger 34.5MB cache, LPDDR6 and UFS5 support, and a G2‑Ultra NX GPU that it claims delivers higher peak performance with lower peak power.
- MediaTek describes a dual‑NPU Agentic AI architecture that it says can run on‑device models up to 30 billion parameters, with one high‑performance NPU for heavy inference and a super‑efficient NPU for always‑on tasks.
- OPPO confirmed the Find X10 Pro Max will use the 9600 Pro and start selling internationally, and MediaTek says first phones with the new chips are due to ship this quarter, though published performance numbers come from company lab demos.
- The launch follows MediaTek’s recent outside financing and plans for cloud AI accelerators, a move that could broaden TSMC 2nm adoption and intensify competition with Qualcomm and Apple in premium mobile and AI infrastructure markets.
