According to the company, its NPU 1090 supports on-device applications with models of up to 30B parameters. MediaTek reports 51% higher LLM prefill performance, the phase where the model reads the prompt, and 55% higher token generation per watt, measured on demo devices in its own labs.
The chip pairs the NPU 1090 with a second-generation Super Efficient NPU, which MediaTek says cuts power consumption for always-on AI by 40%. The platform supports LPDDR6 memory and UFS 5.0 storage.
In September 2025, MediaTek announced that it had completed the tape-out, the final design handoff to the fab, of a flagship chip on TSMC&amp;amp;rsquo;s N2P 2nm process, with volume production expected in late 2026. The CPU uses a 2+3+3 layout of eight big cores, with two C2-Ultra cores at up to 4.55 GHz. MediaTek states up to 17% higher single-core and up to 15% higher multi-core performance over the previous generation, and up to 61% lower multi-core power consumption.
The first smartphones with the Dimensity 9600 Pro and the related Dimensity 9600M are expected to launch this quarter, according to MediaTek.
