MediaTek Dimensity 9600M
The MediaTek Dimensity 9600M reuses the Dimensity 9500's Armv9.3 C1-Ultra CPU cores, Mali-G1 Ultra GPU and NPU 990 on the same 3nm process, extending last year's flagship-tier performance and generative-AI features to more affordable phones such as the vivo X500.
Pros
- Reuses the flagship Dimensity 9500's Arm C1-Ultra CPU cores and Mali-G1 Ultra GPU
- NPU 990 supports on-device generative and agentic AI
- Wi-Fi 7 (tri-band) and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity
- Supports WQHD+ displays at up to 180Hz, including tri-fold panels
- Brings flagship-tier silicon to more affordable phones like the vivo X500
Cons
- Essentially a rebadged Dimensity 9500 with no CPU or GPU architecture upgrade
- Sub-6GHz-only 5G modem; no mmWave support
- Lacks the newer NPU 1090 and Mali-G2 Ultra NX GPU found in the Dimensity 9600 Pro
Very good
