    Early MediaTek Dimensity 7500 benchmark shows big CPU upgrade

    Key Takeaway

    – Dimensity 7500 delivers ~20% CPU performance boost over Dimensity 7400.
    – Geekbench 6 scores: 1,243 single-core and 3,569 multi-core.
    – First device to feature the chipset is the Vivo S60 Vitality Edition.


    MediaTek’s New Dimensity 7500 Brings Real Changes

    MediaTek recently introduced its latest chipset, the Dimensity 7500. The new chipset is a direct successor to last year’s Dimensity 7400 and features ARM’s new C1 cores, but how does it perform. As seen on Geekbench aboard Vivo’s newly announced S60 Vitality Edition, the Dimensity 7500 does outperform the chipset it replaces.

    Comparing benchmark scores directly

    So, like, the SoC delivers a single-core score of 1,243 and a multi-core score of 3,569 on Geekbench 6. Comparatively, the Dimensity 7400, aboard the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G, scored 1,050 and 2,939 in our tests. That’s a big jump if you ask me. Those numbers represent about a 20% CPU performance boost over the last-gen chipset.

    Efficiency gains from the new core design

    Most would consider that a solid generational leap in performance, and about on par with MediaTek’s stated numbers. More interesting, however, will be seeing how the Dimensity 7500 performs efficiency-wise, with the move from the Dimensity 7400’s Cortex A78 and Cortex A55 cores to the new C1 cores representing a multi-generational advancement in core technology. This kinda stuff always matters more in real life.

    First device and its pricing details

    The Vivo S60 Vitality Edition tested will, of course, be the first device to be powered by this new chipset. The sub-premium phone was announced days ago in China alongside the Vivo T5, with pricing starting at CNY 2,899 (~$430). That is a very interesting price point for what your getting. Expect more devices to follow soon with all these new features.

    • Single-core score: 1,243
    • Multi-core score: 3,569
    • Pricing: CNY 2,899 (~$430)
    • Phone: Vivo S60 Vitality Edition

    MediaTek’s New Chipset

    MediaTek has a new processor, and it is a special one as it is the first mobile chipset to feature Arm’s latest C1 CPU cores. The new chipset is officially called the Dimensity 7500, and it should power Android smartphones and tablets in the mid-range category. This is a big step forward for the company, and they are expecting it to make a splash in the market.

    Performance Boosts

    According to MediaTek, the Dimensity 7500 brings significant performance and power efficiency improvements compared to the previous generation Dimensity chipset. For starters, the new chipset is said to be up to 68% faster at video transcoding, up to 40% faster at file transfers, up to 30% faster at app switching, up to 11% faster at app installs, and up to 19% faster at game level load times. MediaTek also says there’s a 5-9% improvement in power efficiency in popular apps used daily and 4-7% power efficiency gains in popular games.

    Core Specs Details

    The Dimensity 7500 is a 4nm chip with eight CPU cores in a 4+4 cluster. There are 4x Arm C1 Pro high-performance cores clocked at 2.6GHz and 4x Arm C1 Nano efficiency-focused cores clocked at 2.0GHz. It also has a MediaTek NPU 850 which is reported to have best-in-class generative AI capabilities. For its GPU, it has a Mali-G625 MC2. This combination should give users a smooth experience.

    • 4x Arm C1 Pro cores at 2.6GHz
    • 4x Arm C1 Nano cores at 2.0GHz
    • MediaTek NPU 850 for AI
    • Mali-G625 MC2 GPU

    Display and Connectivity

    The processor has support for displays with a resolution of up to 1344 × 2800 and a 144Hz refresh rate. It also has support for LPDDR5 memory at up to 6400Mbps, UFS 3.1 2-lane storage; up to a 200MP main camera sensor, and 4K HDR video recording. The Dimensity 7500 also has Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6E. These are all high-end features for a mid-range chipset, wich should please many users looking for a good phone.

    Availibility

    There’s no info yet on which brands have signed up to use the Dimensity 7500, but it most likely won’t be long before the announcement of the first smartphone powered by the chipset. Many manufactures are probably already testing it, so we should see some anouncements soon. It will be interesting to see wich brand gets the first launch.
