this has efficiency cores, so no need for any fans, snapdragon 8 elite and 8 elite gen 5 on the other hand, do not have any efficiency cores, only high performance and big cores.

You don't know how it works. It needs to fans. Higher score doesn't mean it runs hotter. Well, it does, if efficiency was same as last time. But if you have a 30% improvement in efficiency, and a 30% improvement in performance, that means it will produce the same amount of heat, and use the same amount of power as last time. Do not use benchmark scores to determine heat output. Use power usage. In watts.

Wish this chipset will be in Android Tablets or even Laptops, cause it's actually more than good enough for it, especially Android Tablets… By the way, Dimensity 9500's cores are part of ARMv9.4-A instruction set. And, NPU is NPU 990, not 9.0 if MediaTek is being consistent with the naming here.

Google has already announced the merger between Android and Chrome OS. The new unified OS could pave the road for Android laptops. The Dimensity 9500 could be a great laptop SOC and could even compete with Apple as they are preparing for a budget oriented laptop with the A18 pro.

fuuk1, They just renamed the Dimensity 9400 to Kompanio Ultra 910 and put it in a Chromebook, so the Kompanio Ultra 920 using the Dimensity 9500 will probably arrive 6-10 months after the launch of it's mobile chip counterpart, so early to mid 2026

Geekachad, Well, you're right. The leaks back then were that D9500 uses cores which were called Cortex-X930 and Cortex-A730 in a 2+6 configuration and they're part of ARMv9.4-A. The leaks were wrong and I was wrong.
