Dimensity 9500 Rumored to Mimic Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 Cluster

The upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is rumored to adopt a similar CPU cluster as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, potentially setting the stage for a fierce competition in the mobile chipset market. Unlike its predecessor, the Dimensity 9500 will not utilize custom cores, instead relying on ARM's next-generation designs. "2 + 6" Cluster with ARM Cores The Dimensity 9500 is expected to use a "2 + 6" CPU cluster, mirroring the rumored configuration of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. This configuration is said to include the unannounced ARM Cortex-X930 and Cortex-A730 cores. While the performance cores are rumored to reach 5.00GHz, it's important to note that this information is based on leaks and should be taken with caution. No Custom Cores Despite the adoption of a similar cluster, MediaTek has no plans to incorporate its own custom cores like those found in Qualcomm's Oryon architecture. By using ARM designs and leveraging TSMC's 3nm N3P node, MediaTek hop…
