Overview

• MediaTek’s third‑generation all‑big‑core CPU pairs a 4.21GHz Arm C1‑Ultra with three C1‑Premium and four C1‑Pro cores, with claimed gains of 32% in single‑core and 17% in multi‑core performance and up to 55% lower peak power on the ultra core.
• An upgraded NPU 990 doubles AI compute, enabling on‑device 4K image generation, faster 3B‑parameter LLM output, and always‑on small models designed for lower power use.
• The Arm G1‑Ultra GPU targets console‑class visuals with up to 33% higher peak performance, improved efficiency, and high‑frame‑rate ray tracing with interpolation up to 120FPS plus Unreal Engine MegaLights and Nanite support.
• A new memory architecture adds four‑lane UFS 4.1 that doubles sequential read/write speeds and is cited to cut large AI model load times by about 40%.
• Fabricated on TSMC’s N3P 3nm process, the chip is slated for Q4 2025 devices, with Oppo confirming Find X9 adoption and Vivo reported as an early partner, though real‑world benchmarks and thermal testing remain to be verified against Qualcomm’s next flagship.
