Nice!!! Always been a fan of MediaTek. From P series to G series (not really a demanding user here), and now Dimensity 9000! Can't wait!

    Can anyone explain whats the benefit of improving AI perf compared to CPU and GpU perf?

        About the custom roms, why do you need them when the phone have a high end soc?
        Want pure android experience? Just get the Pixel.

        Part of the faster NPU / AI is to make sure the phones running smooth in long term.. Not just for some fancy camera processing.

          They should beat latest upcoming Snapdragon and not older one. Of course they can't do it.

            Mobile games are crap.

            Funny part is the high number of people that cheat on these games. Look all over internet for tutorials to get free coins or upgrades.
            If person is so into games, should play honestly.

              We are still years away from having graphics that look like The Matrix Awakens demo on PlayStation 5. And perhaps another 20-25 years from having PS5 emulation on our phones.

              It's been 20 years and we still don't have great emulation for the original Xbox and just barely getting it for PS2 with AetherSX2. Most of our phones can only produce graphics from the 6th gen. Forget PS4 graphics or you'll get 30 minutes battery life.

                  And so is your argument.

                    The people who love to complain about these chips are people who had garbage phones or are marketing suckers, for the most part. Gamers are another thing. For the average user, there is no difference in performance between flagship chips, only a difference in software optimization of phones. I currently have both SD & MT and they both are very fast, with no lag.

                      It wasn't a real flagship :
                      - older 20nm process
                      - medium GPU
                      Nevertheless, heating problems aren't the one you read everywhere...for exemple, CPU was more stable than SD652.
                      (If it really had heating problem, how Mediatek pushed frequencies from 2.1ghz on X20 to 2.6ghz on X27?)

                      There were 2 real flagships in my opinion :
                      - mt6595 (SD805's era). It had powerfull cortex A17 (better than Kraith 450) and h265 hardware encoding SD805 hadn't
                      - Helio X30 (SD835's era). It was a 10cores chip like X20 but it used the latest 10nm process and carry a bigger GPU

                              AI is not that useful but still looks promising for Mediatek.

                                  If the old 865 was $160 last year, imagine the new chips for 2022 phones.
                                  D9000 is tipped to cost 2x compared to D1200.

                                  People want mobile chips with same power of i9 gen 11 or even Apple M1 inside small/sealed device.
                                  Then complain they get hot after playing 30 min of game at max setting while phone is plugged to outlet, with wifi and bluetooth on.

                                      it's have been so long mediatek was behind snapdragon, it is time to overtake snapdragon. just wait and see it , mediatek will better from snapdragon on performance or not

                                        Strange how gsm is the only article I see that says the snap 8 gen 1 isn't tested yet...


                                        When it already was and is beaten by the 9000
