The Dimensity 9000 gets the ARM Mali-G710 MC10 GPU as well. “The HyperEngine 5.0 uses AI-acceleration to optimize graphics while reducing the GPU load, resulting in faster gameplay that looks better and is more power-efficient than ever. HyperEngine also integrates AI-VRS, the first AI-enhanced variable rate shading technology for smartphones, along with the industry’s first raytracing software development kit (SDK) using Vulkan for Android,” says MediaTek.

The chip can support up to 320MP cameras with its 18-bit HDR ISP. It can support 144Hz QuadHD+ display or 180Hz FullHD+ displays on flagships. For wireless connectivity, the Dimensity 9000 supports Wi-Fi 6E, GNSS with Beidou III-B1C and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.

Most importantly, phone designers will be able to customize the chip based on specific requirements.
