On November 19, MediaTek officially released its flagship SoC Tianji 9000 next year (Kirin 9000 said it was very good). The new SoC specification is ferocious, covering more than 10 technology debuts such as "TSMC 4nm process, X2 CPU, G710 GPU, 7500Mbps LPDDR5x memory, 5G R16, Bluetooth 5.3".

In the "greetings" segment, MediaTek said that its share of the SoC market in 2021 had exceeded 40%, its mobile phone business revenue had increased by 113%, its smartphone business had increased by 34%, its IoT/computing and ASIC business had increased by 43%, and its power IC had increased by 39%.

As for the part of Tianji 9000 CPU that we most care about, MediaTek has finally expanded its specifications and taken the route of "high frequency+large cache". It is all the latest architecture of arm: 3.05GHz X2 (1MB L2)+3 x 2.85GHz A710 (512KB L2)+4 x 1.8GHz A510 (256K L2). In addition to the explosion of L2 cache, 8MB L3 and 6MB SLC cache are also integrated. The memory part is 7500Mbps LPDDR5x, and the bandwidth is 36% higher than the current 5500Mbps LPDDR5.

MediaTek claims that the performance of the X2 architecture has increased by 35% and the energy efficiency has increased by 37% compared with the current Android flagship (888 ™). Specint 2K6 is 35% stronger in the test, GeekBench 5.0 is 10% stronger in the single core test, more than 4000 scores in the multi-core test and more than 1 million scores in the rabbit test.

In contrast, Snapdragon 888/888+is around 1130 single cores and 3600 multi-core. The insurmountable peak A15 is the single core 1700+and multi-core 4770 level. The official application opening speed has increased by 10% to 55%. Compared with the current flagship Android, it claims that standby power consumption is reduced by 40%, multimedia power consumption such as video recording and playback is reduced by 65%, and game power consumption is reduced by 25%.

GPU is also the first new architecture, Mali-G710 MC10。 Compared with the current flagship, the performance is improved by 35%, and the energy efficiency is improved by 60%. Ray tracing can be realized under Vulkan. It is also set at 5G+60FPS, and the frame rate performance is more gentle, which can be maintained at more than 35 frames finally. The target of comparison should be Snapdragon 888, and the popular sandbox game on PPT should be the performance killer Primordium.

The Tianji 9000 is equipped with the fifth generation APU of MediaTek, with four performance cores and two "flexible cores" (energy efficiency core?), and its performance and energy efficiency ratio have both increased by 400%, 66% and 31% higher than this year's flagship (888?). Its AI peak performance is even 16% higher than that of the Tensor developed by Google itself (ETHZ v4 test), and various PPTs attach importance to Google Tensor.

The number of ISPs has also soared. Three core ISPs have launched three channels of 18bit HDR video recording and triple exposure, with a processing speed of 9 billion pixels per second. They can support up to 320 million pixel cameras (Samsung just released 200 million pixel CMOS in September), support 8K AV1 video playback, and support up to 144Hz 2K+resolution screens or 180Hz 1080P+screens. On PPT, HDR and capture effect are also the flagship of the comparison, but the comparison model is unknown.

The wireless part supports the latest 5G R16, the peak download speed is 7Gbps, the first DL 3CC is 300MHz, the power consumption in connection mode is reduced by 32%, and the power consumption in high-speed mode is reduced by 27%. Finally, it supports Wi Fi 6E and 160MHz bandwidth, the first Bluetooth 5.3, dual band GPS+3 band Beidou+dual band Galileo, etc.

MediaTek said that the terminal equipment equipped with Tianji 9000 will be launched in the first quarter of next year. As long as the terminal price is not too high, this wave can really call MTK YES.

Redmi Lu Weibing has already started warming up that day, suggesting that the unit price of Tianji 9000 is not low. However, Redmi's routine has always been to raise the price expectation first, and then come to X999. It is still uncertain whether it is still a smoke bomb this time.
