OPPO has announced that its upcoming Find X10 Pro Max will be among the first smartphones to feature the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro and will launch in international markets. The news, shared via Media OutReach Newswire, signals a significant step in the race for advanced mobile silicon and could reshape the premium smartphone landscape.
The Dimensity 9600 Pro is built on TSMC's advanced 2nm N2P process, which OPPO says delivers a generational leap in performance and power efficiency. Compared with the previous-generation process, the chip provides up to a 61% improvement in CPU multi-core energy efficiency. This is important because it lays a stronger foundation for sustained flagship performance and the increasingly demanding on-device AI workloads that modern smartphones are expected to handle.
For CPU performance, the Dimensity 9600 Pro continues MediaTek's All-Big-Core architecture with a new configuration featuring two 4.55GHz C2-Ultra cores and six performance cores. The new CPU delivers an overall performance improvement of 17%, while independent frequency control for each core enables more precise workload scheduling. This helps the Find X10 Pro Max balance sustained performance with outstanding power efficiency, a critical factor for users who rely on their devices throughout the day.
Graphics performance also takes another step forward with the latest flagship G2-Ultra NX GPU, introducing enhanced ray tracing and new neural graphics capabilities. Under sustained heavy workloads, the Dimensity 9600 Pro delivers approximately 27% higher performance, enabling richer visual detail and more immersive gaming experiences on the Find X10 Pro Max. For the gaming industry, this could raise expectations for mobile titles that leverage advanced ray tracing and neural graphics.
The Dimensity 9600 Pro also brings a major upgrade to on-device AI with its latest-generation dual-NPU design, combining a powerful NPU with a Super Efficient NPU. The new high-performance NPU delivers 51% faster LLM prefill performance, providing powerful support for workloads including large-model inference and computational imaging. Meanwhile, the Super Efficient NPU is 40% more power efficient, enabling persistent AI capabilities to run at ultra-low power for more responsive and always-available AI experiences. This matters because AI features are becoming a key differentiator for flagship phones, and better efficiency means those features can run continuously without draining the battery.
Further enhancing the platform is the OPPO Laminar Flow Engine, jointly developed by OPPO and MediaTek and making its debut on the Find X10 Pro Max. By restructuring the underlying rendering architecture and coordinating it more closely with system scheduling, the technology achieves a better balance between ultra-smooth system responsiveness and low power consumption. It also helps accelerate app launches and maintain smooth and stable content loading during demanding scenarios such as rapid photo browsing.
For consumers, the Find X10 Pro Max promises faster performance, longer battery life, and more advanced AI capabilities. For the industry, OPPO's move to adopt a 2nm chip early could pressure competitors to accelerate their own adoption of cutting-edge silicon, potentially driving innovation across the premium smartphone segment. Further details about the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro, will be revealed at the upcoming global launch event.
