Although there are other options, AnTuTu is the quintessential benchmark for measuring the power of Android mobiles . Its top 10 is updated monthly with the highest performing mobiles in the high and medium ranges, a list that we all look forward to.
With this ranking you can know which processor is the most powerful today and from now on there is a new king. The MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ smashed AnTuTu in its first leaked benchmark alongside the Asus ROG Phone 6D, beating the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 that held the title so far. How much has been the difference?
The Dimensity 9000+ is between 2 and 3% more powerful than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, but its CPU exceeds it by almost 15%
Since its launch in May, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 held the position of the most powerful mobile processor . With an average record of more than 1,110,000 points, this chip took 9 of the 10 places of honor in the Chinese top of AnTuTu for August. However, Qualcomm’s SoC has just lost its crown.
Thanks to its new Dimensity 9000+ , MediaTek now holds the title of manufacturer with the most powerful mobile chip on the planet. Aboard the Asus ROG Phone 6D, this chip achieved a record of 1,146,594 points in AnTuTu , a new record from any point of view. The result was leaked by Digital Chat Station, one of the world’s most famous leakers, via Weibo .
With this result, the ROG Phone 6D (MediaTek) is between 2 and 3% above the general performance of the ROG Phone 6 (Qualcomm). However, the difference becomes even more noticeable in the CPU score: the Dimensity 9000+ scored 291,317 points, about 15% more than the average result obtained by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Until now, the Dimensity 9000+ has only been seen in the Chinese Xiaomi 12S Pro, but it seems that its performance has not been unleashed. What was missing for it? Apparently, putting it in a mobile gamer like the ROG Phone, whose cooling system is much better than that of any standard mobile. Being cooler, the SoC can run at full power for a longer amount of time, achieving better results.
The ROG Phone 6D will be Asus’ first gaming mobile with a MediaTek chip
The new ROG Phone 6D has not yet been launched on the market, but Asus is already preparing for it. Besides, the very launch of this mobile is quite curious: Asus has never launched a gamer mobile with a MediaTek chip, the ROG Phone 6D will be the first. What does this mean? Just one thing: the Dimensity 9000+ is a brown beast to be feared and ready to take on whatever comes its way.
What other things do we know about him? Apparently, there will be no other change beyond the processor, as it will come with the same specifications as the model with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
