Tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the upcoming flagship SoC from MediaTek will be fabricated on a 2nm process node, without confirming whether it will be TSMC's N2P or Samsung's SF2.
MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9600 SoC later this year as its next flagship chip, but the company is also working on the Dimensity 8600 upper-midrange SoC as well. This is important because in recent times, MediaTek's Dimensity 8 series chips have dominated AnTuTu benchmark ratings for upper-midrange phones - it kind of seems like Qualcomm has decided to just hand over this market to MediaTek.
MediaTek's share price has risen sharply in a short period of time, partly due to increasing attention to the company's role in Google's AI strategy. In two trading days, the share price rose by approximately 19 percent. This brought the Taiwanese chip designer to a new record high on the Taipei stock exchange. The jump in share price follows a period of sustained optimism among investors.
