Leaked benchmarks for MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 10000 flagship chipset show it matching and in some cases exceeding the Snapdragon 8 Elite in multi-core CPU performance, signaling a serious challenge to Qualcomm's dominance.

Benchmark Scores

The Dimensity 10000 scored approximately 2,850 in single-core and 10,200 in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6. While the single-core score trails the Snapdragon 8 Elite by about 5%, the multi-core performance is roughly 8% higher.

GPU benchmarks in 3DMark Wildlife Extreme show the Dimensity 10000 achieving scores within 3% of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a remarkable achievement for MediaTek which has traditionally lagged behind Qualcomm in GPU performance.

AI Performance

MediaTek has focused heavily on NPU performance, with the Dimensity 10000 featuring a new APU 900 that delivers 80 TOPS of AI processing power. This enables advanced on-device AI features including real-time language translation and advanced computational photography.
