Overview

• Built on an all‑big‑core Arm C1 CPU design (1x C1‑Ultra at 4.21GHz, 3x C1‑Premium, 4x C1‑Pro), MediaTek claims up to 32% single‑core and 17% multi‑core gains over Dimensity 9400 with up to 55% lower peak power on the ultra core.
• The ninth‑generation NPU 990 with Generative AI Engine 2.0 is said to double AI compute, add low‑bit BitNet support, handle 128K‑token contexts, and enable on‑device 4K image generation with lower power for always‑on small models.
• The Arm G1‑Ultra GPU is quoted at up to 33% higher peak performance and 42% better efficiency, with hardware‑accelerated ray tracing that MediaTek says can reach 120fps and support for Unreal Engine features like MegaLights and Nanite.
• System I/O updates include four‑lane UFS 4.1 and a new cache/memory architecture that MediaTek says doubles sequential read/write speeds and cuts large AI model load times by about 40%.
• Reports cite TSMC’s 3nm family for manufacturing and point to Q4 2025 devices from Oppo and Vivo, while a single outlet’s claimed Geekbench figures and specific N3P details have not been broadly corroborated.
