For a long time, there have been reports that MediaTek is developing an overclocked version of its Dimensity 9200 chipset. However, until now, this had been just a rumor, with no official confirmation. Finally, this query has been resolved, as MediaTek has officially announced its upcoming chipset.
This morning, MediaTek announced that the Dimensity 9200+ chipset will be launched at an upcoming event on May 10. Other than that, the official announcement did not contain any other details.
However, given the chipset’s name, we can conclude that the Dimensity 9200+ will be an overclocked version of the Dimensity 9200. The core architecture and other specifications should be the same, with the only expected difference being the core frequency.
The Dimensity 9200 is built on TSMC’s second-generation 4nm+ process and has one Cortex-X3 core clocked at 3.05 GHz, three Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.85 GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. The chipset also comes with a Mali-G715 MC11 GPU.
It was previously reported that the Dimensity 9200 is expected to be featured in the iQOO Neo8 and ASUS ROG Phone 7D. Several other smartphone manufacturers also plan to use this chipset in their upcoming smartphones.
Currently, the main competitor of this chipset is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, Qualcomm is expected to launch an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the coming months.
