MediaTek has confirmed the launch date and the name of its next flagship chipset. The Taiwanese-based chip maker will unveil the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset on May 10 in China. It appears that the iQOO Neo 8 Pro will be the first device to feature the D9200+.
MediaTek is yet to reveal the details of the Dimensity 9200 Plus. As the moniker suggests, it will be an enhanced version of the existing Dimensity 9200, which powers the OPPO Find X6, Vivo X90, and Vivo X90 Pro flagship phones.
Recently, the iQOO Neo 8 Pro featuring the upcoming D9200+ chip was spotted on benchmarking platforms, such as AnTuTu and Geekbench. These listings confirmed the key specifications of the chip. It will arrive with 1 × Cortex-X3 core operating at 3.35GHz, 3 x Cortex-A715 cores working at 3.00GHz, four Cortex-A510 cores clocking at 2.00GHz, and Immortalis-G715 MC11 graphics.
Rumours are rife that the D9200+, which achieved the highest score of 1,368,597 on AnTuTu, will offer better performance than Qualcomm’s most powerful chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Reports have indicated that the D9200+ will power upcoming smartphones, such as the iQOO Neo 8 Pro, iQOO 11S, and Vivo X90 Plus. The iQOO 11S and Vivo X90 Plus are expected to launch in the second half of the year, whereas the Neo 8 Pro is expected to go official in May. According to a Weibo post by AnTuTu, Redmi and ROG will also release D9200+ powered smartphones.
