Dimensity 9200+ brings higher CPU and GPU clocks, lower power usage

MediaTek is on a roll and has unveiled its third chipset this month. Today’s item is the Dimensity 9200+, which schooled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in preliminary Geekbench 6 tests. As the name suggests, this is a boosted version of the Dimensity 9200 chipset from last year.

The new Dimensity 9200+ gets higher CPU clocks, 17% boost to the GPU

It’s still fabbed on TSMC’s N4P node (4nm, second gen) but is able to run its CPU and GPU at higher clock speeds. This includes all three CPU clusters, which promises a 10% uplift over the original version of the chip.

As for the ARM Immortalis G715 GPU, MediaTek kept the specifics under wraps, but says that the you can expect 17% higher performance on average. The display adapter supports FHD+ @ 240Hz, QHD+ at 144Hz and dual 2.5K displays at 60Hz. Check out the table below for an overview of the 9200+ compared against the 9200 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

* X1 @ 3.36GHz for Galaxy,
higher GPU clock too

Note that the SD 8 Gen 2 chipset listed above is the one that is widely available. Samsung has an exclusive deal for chips that run their X3 cores at 3.36GHz (instead of 3.2GHz) and the GPU at 719MHz (instead of 680MHz).

Higher performance isn’t the only goal for this chip – it can also do the same amount of work with less power. MediaTek offers the following examples of what you can expect in terms of lower power usage:

  • 10-21% savings in popular games
  • 35% savings in messaging apps
  • 36% savings in Wi-Fi hotspot mode

Right now both MediaTek and phone makers are keeping things under wraps, but the first phones with the Dimensity 9200+ are probably just around the corner.
