Taiwanese chipmaker’s flagship processor, Dimensity 9500, promises breakthrough mobile ray tracing performance with new Immortalis-Drage GPU architecture

MediaTek is preparing to revolutionize mobile gaming with the Dimensity 9500, featuring a dramatically enhanced GPU that promises over 40% improvements in both efficiency and ray tracing performance. The flagship chipset could finally deliver console-quality ray tracing at over 100 FPS on smartphones, marking a potential turning point for mobile gaming.

Breakthrough Ray Tracing Achievement

The most significant upgrade centers on ray tracing capabilities, with MediaTek claiming the Dimensity 9500 can push ray-traced mobile games beyond 100 FPS. This represents a quantum leap from current mobile ray tracing implementations, which have struggled with performance and battery drain issues.

The new Immortalis-Drage GPU architecture features a redesigned microarchitecture specifically optimized for ray tracing workloads while maintaining lower power consumption—a combination that has historically been challenging to achieve in mobile processors.

Competitive Gaming Landscape

This advancement positions MediaTek to directly challenge Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in the premium gaming segment. Early benchmark leaks suggest the Dimensity 9500 achieves over 3,900 points in single-core and 11,000+ points in multi-core Geekbench 6 tests, representing significant improvements over the Dimensity 9400.

The timing is strategic, as mobile ray tracing adoption has been limited by underwhelming hardware performance. With games like Diablo Immortal, War Thunder, and Honor of Kings beginning to support the technology, improved hardware could accelerate developer adoption.

All-Big-Core CPU Revolution

Beyond GPU improvements, the Dimensity 9500 introduces MediaTek’s first all-big-core CPU design featuring:

  • 1x Travis core (Cortex-X930, 3.23 GHz)
  • 3x Alto cores (Cortex-X9 series, 3.03 GHz)
  • 4x Gelas cores (Cortex-A7 series, 2.23 GHz)

This architecture abandons traditional efficiency cores for larger, more capable cores across all performance tiers.

Launch Timeline & Device Adoption

Expected to debut in September 2025, the Dimensity 9500 will likely first appear in the Vivo X300 series, followed by Oppo Find X9 devices. This aggressive timeline positions MediaTek to compete directly with Qualcomm’s flagship launches.

The combination of enhanced ray tracing, improved efficiency, and competitive pricing could help MediaTek capture greater market share in the premium segment where it has historically trailed Qualcomm.
