MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro on September 15, describing it as its first smartphone processor built on TSMC's 2-nanometre process. A companion Dimensity 9600M uses a 3-nanometre process for a broader part of the premium-phone market.

The company says the Pro chip's neural processor improves one stage of prompt processing by 51% over its predecessor, but it did not provide enough detail for independent comparison. MediaTek said phones using both chips would launch soon without naming specific models.
