MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro is first TSMC 2nm phone chip

MediaTek said on September 15 its Dimensity 9600 Pro is its first smartphone processor built on TSMC's 2-nanometer process, with a companion Dimensity 9600M on TSMC's 3-nanometer node for a broader flagship segment. Reuters reported the NPU delivers a 51% improvement versus the prior generation in processing a user's prompt before a model starts generating a response. MediaTek's own release said the first phones using the two chips are expected this quarter.
