MediaTek is on the rise and unveiled its third chipset this month. Today it was the turn of the Dimensity 9200+, which was able to put the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in its place in the first Geekbench 6 tests. As the name suggests, it’s an overhauled version of last year’s Dimensity 9200 processor.
The Dimensity 9200+ is still manufactured on TSMC’s N4P node (4Nm, second generation) but is able to run its CPU and GPU at higher clock speeds. This includes all three CPU clusters, promising a 10% performance boost over the original version of the chip.
As for the ARM Immortalis G715 GPU, MediaTek has remained suspiciously quiet. On average, the graphics performance should increase by 17%, more was not revealed. The GPU supports FHD+ resolutions at 240Hz, QHD+ at 144Hz and dual 2.5K displays at 60Hz. Here are all the specs in detail.

However, maximum performance was not the only focus of development. The Dimensity 9200+ also handles the same workload with less power consumption. MediaTek brought the following examples:
- 10-21% savings on popular games
- 35% savings on messaging apps
- 36% savings in WiFi hotspot mode
For now, both MediaTek and the smartphone makers are keeping things under wraps. However, the first Dimensity 9200+ devices should already be about to premiere.
