An industry insider has reportedly gained early access to a prototype device powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500 chipset, unveiling exciting new details particularly about its prime core’s clock speed.
According to the leak, the engineering sample of the Dimensity 9500 currently runs at over 4GHz, a significant leap from the 3.73GHz seen in the Dimensity 9400+. This milestone marks the first time MediaTek has pushed a mobile processor past the 4GHz barrier. However, the final clock speed is still undergoing testing and hasn’t been officially confirmed.

Built on TSMC’s cutting-edge N3P+ process, the Dimensity 9500 adopts an entirely new all-big-core architecture aimed at maximizing performance. Early benchmarks suggest a strong showing. The CPU is rumored to feature a 1+3+4 configuration comprising one Travis core, three Alto cores, and four Gelas cores all optimized for high-efficiency computing.
On the graphics front, the chipset integrates the next-gen Immortalis-Drage GPU, which brings a revamped microarchitecture. This upgrade significantly enhances ray tracing performance while also improving power efficiency, making it well-suited for next-generation gaming and multimedia tasks.
The insider also revealed that the OPPO Find X9 Pro is expected to debut with the Dimensity 9500. The prototype showcased a 200MP periscope telephoto lens in a surprisingly compact module. Additionally, the device boasts a flat 1.5K display with large R-angle corners and symmetrical bezels, contributing to a sleek and modern design. Among the various test units, the white variant featuring either a fiberglass or glass back stood out and was specifically recommended for its aesthetics and build quality.
