Overview

• The 8‑core ‘All Big Core’ CPU uses Arm’s new C1 lineup (1x C1‑Ultra at 4.21GHz + 3 premium + 4 performance) with claimed gains up to ~29–32% in single‑core and ~16–17% in multi‑core versus Dimensity 9400, plus up to 55% lower peak‑power on the ultra core.
• An Arm G1‑Ultra GPU brings up to 33% higher peak graphics performance, 42% better efficiency, double the ray‑tracing units, and frame‑rate interpolation targeting 120FPS in supported titles.
• The ninth‑gen NPU 990 with Generative AI Engine 2.0 doubles AI compute, adds low‑bit large‑model support, enables on‑device 4K image generation, and claims 100% faster 3B‑parameter LLM output with new compute‑in‑memory design for sustained efficiency.
• Four‑lane UFS 4.1 and a revised cache/memory architecture aim to double sequential read/write speeds and cut large AI model load times by about 40%, with MediaTek citing smoother responsiveness under heavy multitasking.
• OPPO has confirmed the Find X9 series among the first devices, Vivo is widely reported as an early adopter, and initial phones are expected in Q4 2025, with independent benchmarks still pending against Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and other rivals.
