Early MediaTek Dimensity 9200 test on AnTuTu shows an impressive generational improvement

Around this time last year, a phone using Dimensity posted the first AnTuTu result to reach 1 million points. That was the brand-new Dimensity 9000 chip at the time, and now the Dimensity 9200, which is rumoured to be its replacement, is approaching.

But also take a strange look at the point breakdown, which reveals that the CPU score is comparable to that of the 9000 chips. Additionally, it appears from the temperature graph that this chipset was not overworked (or this is a dev board with good cooling).

We would have anticipated a better CPU score given that the Dimensity 9200 has a Cortex-X3 CPU core instead of an X2 core, as stated by Digital Chat Station (who contributed this screenshot). Again, it's too soon to draw conclusions because we don't know what kind of gadget performed the benchmark.

                                                 

However, the GPU score meets expectations. With 550K, it performs far better than the 9000+ chip, which only manages roughly 430K in devices like the Asus ROG Phone 6D Ultimate (the best-performing phone in September).

According to DCS, MediaTek is utilising ARM's most recent Immortalis-G715, which is not only its most potent GPU but also the first to perform ray tracing in hardware. In comparison to the G710 utilised in the previous chip, the G715 promises a 15% performance improvement in graphics rendering (and a 300% improvement when ray tracing is applied).

Both the type of device utilised to run the test and the settings employed are unknown. But based on this outcome, it appears that the Dimensity 9200 will be a worthy replacement for the 9000(+), which was a flagship-level chip substitute for the Snapdragon 8(+) Gen 1.

Although we haven't received any firm information, the Dimensity 9200 could be formally introduced within the next weeks; the 9000 was launched in mid-November. Perhaps Qualcomm's announcement will occur before or after the launch on purpose.
