If you have to choose a word that defines the work that MediaTek has done with the integrated Dimensity 9000+, it’s the word beast. The integrated was introduced at the end of June and as we told you then, arrived with the firm intention of fighting for the gold medal with Qualcomm and Samsung, with their Snapdragon and Exynos families. Something that seemed quite feasible given its specs, and that would finally be confirmed this September.

Recall that we are talking about a SoC based on the V9 ARM CPU architecture in a 4-nanometer manufacturing process with an Octa-Core configuration that includes 3.2 GHz Cortex X2 corethree Cortex-A710 cores at 2.85 GHz and four Cortex-A510 cores focused on efficiency, which are accompanied by a powerful GPU Mali-G710 MC10. In terms of memory support, this Dimensity 9000+ offers compatibility with LPDDR5x RAM up to 7500 Mb/s (20% more efficient than LPDDR5), with eight megabytes of L3 cache and six megabytes of system cache. This means that the SoC called to preside at the top of the table.

And as we can read in Mydrivers (in Chinese), technology has since achieved this The MediaTek 9000+ is positioned as the highest performing smartphone SoC of all rated with AnTuTu. And of course, the final performance of the device does not depend only on the SoC, I know, but when we talk about the top of the line that competes in this segment, we find quite similar conditions between them, which suggests that the SoC is, at least, an essential part of the equation.

And which smartphone is the one that has been crowned the best in AnTuTu so far? You must have already imagined that this is a gaming smartphone, right? Well you are not wrong and the fact is that the main hero is none other than the beast that was released just a few weeks ago, the ASUS ROG 6D family. And it’s just that according to this popular benchmark, it would get an incredible prize 1,123,036 pointscompared to 1,111,200 for the model marked in the table as OnePlus Ace Pro, which in the Chinese market is the name of the OnePlus 10T 5G, presented at the beginning of August, and which integrates the Snapdragon 8+ Gen. 1.

However, this does not mean that Qualcomm has lost its magic. On the contrary, if we look at the classification, we can see it positions 2 to 10 are occupied by devices with Snapdragon 8+ Gen. 1, which confirms that the performance of the latest high-end SoC of this technology remains a benchmark for many. Of course, after years at the top of the charts, seeing this Dimensity 9000+ manage to climb to the top of the charts should no doubt be an incentive for Qualcomm to hit the gas again… something that will be worth seeing.
