Dimensity 9600 Pro

As smartphones evolve into agentic phones, they need to run traditional mobile workloads while supporting a personal AI assistant that stays active in the background 24/7 — observing, reasoning, and assisting in real time. Where conventional architectures have struggled to balance power consumption with responsiveness, the Dimensity 9600 Pro eliminates that trade-off, delivering industry-leading peak performance alongside exceptional sustained efficiency.

Dual NPU Architecture

At its core is a dual NPU architecture, combining the ultra-performance MediaTek NPU 1090, built for the most intense on-device generative and agentic workloads, and the Super Efficient NPU 2.0, purpose-built for invisible, always-on scheduling. Paired with the new Dimensity Agentic AI Engine, this duo transforms AI from a passive responder into a proactive digital companion — one that understands context, anticipates needs, and coordinates intelligently across apps and services.

The Most Powerful On-Device AI Performance

Enabling real, personal, and proactive mobile AI, the NPU 1090 pushes on-device AI performance into the stratosphere, delivering the double INT4 computing than the previous-generation, 55% greater Token generation per watt, and 51% faster LLM Prefill performance . A new hardware compression engine upgrade KV-cache compression technology to reduce the LLM footprint size, alongside edge-training LLM technologies and support for Mixture of Experts (MoE) LLM on-device inference — together enabling the best generative AI smartphone experience.

Always-on Intelligence

Delivering faster performance and more low power saving than its predecessor, the Super Efficient NPU 2.0 gives background AI activity a dedicated always-on domain, so agents keep working continuously without draining the battery.

Leading 2nm Chip Design

Leading where others follow, the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 is a first-wave 2nm smartphone chip design that’s built to simultaneously raise the bar on performance, capability, and power-efficiency.

4th Generation All Big Core CPU

The AI Compute Fusion architecture is represented by the combination of efficient CPU scheduling and NPU performance, backed by an end-to-end high-bandwidth hierarchy spanning CPU and SLC caches through the latest LPDDR6 memory and UFS 5.0 storage — keeping data crunching at peak speed at every level.

At its heart is MediaTek's 4th-generation All Big Core CPU: a revolutionary 2+3+3 design pairing two Arm C2-Ultra processors, three Arm C2-Pro processors with 1MB L2 cache and three Arm C2-Pro with 512KB L2 cache, which altogether contribute to a 21% larger L2 cache system.

• Industry-leading Up to 4K240 slow-mo video capture

New H.266 Hardware Video Decoder

Building on MediaTek's three decades of multimedia leadership and legacy, the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro is the world's first smartphone processor to include H.266 hardware decode support for streaming video.

In addition, it includes MV-HEVC support for spatial video, and improved power efficiency for video encoding.

Rec. 2020 Color Quality for Displays

The MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro supports an end-to-end BT.2020 (Rec. 2020) colour pipeline, enabling an ultra-wide colour gamut from source to display and ensuring studio-grade true-to-life colour accuracy suitable for professional use.

Sharp, Accurate Displays that Endure

Smartphone displays benefit from multi-frame overdrive, which works to eliminate motion blur, keeping fast-moving content sharp and fluid on screen. Alongside this, MediaTek’s PPST (Panel Power Saving Technology) and VHM (Video Hybrid Mode) together deliver further power-efficiency gains, ensuring vivid, lifelike visuals never come at the cost of battery life.

The fully integrated 5G Advanced modem supports 5CC carrier aggregation up to 350MHz (>7.4Gbps), with in-modem AI (MMAI) enabling real-time network optimizations that reduce gaming latency.
