Early MediaTek Dimensity 7500 benchmarks reveal notable CPU performance upgrade

MediaTek recently introduced its latest chipset, the Dimensity 7500. The new chipset is a direct successor to last year's Dimensity 7400 and features ARM's new C1 cores, but how does it perform?
As seen on Geekbench aboard Vivo's newly announced S60 Vitality Edition, the Dimensity 7500 does outperform the chipset it replaces. The SoC delivers a single-core score of 1,243 and a multi-core score of 3,569 on Geekbench 6. Comparatively, the Dimensity 7400, aboard the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G, scored 1,050 and 2,939 in our tests.
Those numbers represent about a 20% CPU performance boost over the last-gen chipset. Most would consider that a solid generational leap in performance, and about on par with MediaTek's stated numbers. More interesting, however, will be seeing how the Dimensity 7500 performs efficiency-wise, with the move from the Dimensity 7400's Cortex A78 and Cortex A55 cores to the new C1 cores representing a multi-generational advancement in core technology.
The Vivo S60 Vitality Edition tested will, of course, be the first device to be powered by this new chipset. The sub-premium phone was announced days ago in China alongside the Vivo T5, with pricing starting at CNY 2,899 (~$430).
