The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is a flagship processor (SoC) with 8 CPU cores (octa-core) for expensive Android phones and tablets, which was launched in the third quarter of 2025. It uses three CPU clusters based on a fast ARM C1-Ultra core with up to 4.2 GHz, three C1-Premium cores with up to 3.5 GHz and four small C1-Pro cores with up to 2.7 GHz. Together, the cores have access to 16 MB L3 cache and 10 MB SLC.
The chip can control main memory via LPDDR5X-10667. For communication, the SoC supports all modern technologies such as 5G Sub6, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0.
According to our tests, the average performance is on a par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in the top class of SoCs for Android based smartphones. In the Geekbench tests, the Dimensity 9500 can easily set itself apart.
The SoC is manufactured at TSMC using the modern 3nm process (3rd generation, therefore probably N3P).
