With its innovative breakthroughs in high performance, high energy efficiency and low power consumption, Tianji 9200 has gained consistent praise and expectation from the outside world with its omni-directional and powerful functional experience.

Connecting link, the competition for high-end mobile phone chips has entered a new stage. The problem brought about by the dominant situation in the past is the lack of beneficial competition in the market, which makes market leaders easy to slow down or even stagnate in technology and product innovation. Once something goes wrong, or consumers are dissatisfied, are there any other alternatives? For example, the flagship mobile phone that consumers have frequently complained about in the past two years is hot and consumes a lot of power, but they have no choice but to use it.

But this situation is believed to be very different in 2022. Because MediaTek's flagship chip platforms Tianji 9000 and Tianji 9000 + this year can well meet consumers' various needs for flagship mobile phone products, and users also have more choices.

Although figures for 2022 are not yet available, Counterpoint said in a recent report: "the advent of the Tianji 9000 series has enabled MediaTek to achieve a breakthrough in China's high-end mobile phone market, with a significant increase in its share of the Android smartphone market (wholesale prices are more than $500. about 3635 yuan).

We know that high-end mobile phone chips are often the real revenue giants, and MediaTek's strong revenue performance so far this year is obviously related to the excellent market performance of Tianji 9000 series of flagship chips.

In short, the sharp appearance of Tianji 9000 and Tianji 9000 + series chips has injected fresh vitality and changing factors into the entire high-end mobile phone chip market, and laid a solid foundation for Tianji 9200 to enter the battlefield of all-round competition.

On the other hand, at this press conference, Chen Guanzhou, general manager of MediaTek, also announced that MediaTek ranked first in the global smartphone market share with 38% in 2022.

Behind the data is the result of MediaTek's accumulated strength in the field of mobile semiconductors over the years, and the high-end chip market is becoming MediaTek's most critical "strategic city".

So the brand-new Tianji 9200 flagship chip is another fierce general to conquer the city and land.

Attack the city and land, these leading features tell you how fierce Tianji 9200 is, how fierce is Tianji 9200? I believe you have seen the parameter information about this flagship chip many times. Here CTOnews.com summarizes some innovations worth paying attention to.

1. Performance and energy efficiency in the past two years, the performance of flagship mobile phone chips, especially energy efficiency, has become a growing concern for users, and this time MediaTek Tianji 9200 has also focused on these two aspects.

First of all, in terms of performance, its CPU consists of 1 Cortex-X3 @ 3.05GHz super core, 3 Cortex-A715 @ 2.85GHz cores and 4 Cortex-A510 @ 1.8GHz energy efficiency cores. Such a set of CPU core architecture realizes the industry debut of Cortex-X3 super-large core and the industry debut of the core of the second generation Armv9 instruction set.

Among them, the peak performance of Cortex-X3 super-large cores has been improved by 22%, and the IPC (co-frequency efficiency) has been improved by 11%, resulting in considerable performance improvements.

At the same time, Tianji 9200 also has the industry's first pure 64-bit large core CPU. Energy-efficient multithreaded 64-bit architecture has inherent performance advantages over 32-bit. According to LZBench Memcpy tests, 64-bit is 92% more efficient than 32-bit in compression and 80% more efficient in decompression than 32-bit.

With the help of these features, the single-core performance of Tianji 9200 is improved by 12%, and the multi-core performance is improved by 10%, with a considerable upgrade range. If nothing else, just looking at an Rabbit's 126W + running score is enough to be proud of the crowd.

In addition, Tian Ji 9200 is the first chip to support LPDDR5X 8533Mbps memory and multi-loop queuing technology to accelerate UFS 4.0 flash memory. In other words, with these memory and storage products, you can make the phone run faster and read faster.

While improving performance, MediaTek has also adopted a number of measures to improve the energy efficiency of Tianji 9200. First of all, the efficiency improvement of the 64-bit architecture itself is very helpful to energy efficiency, and the second is the process process. Tianji 9200 is the first chip to adopt TSMC's second-generation 4nm process, and more advanced technology is an effective means to improve energy efficiency and reduce power consumption.

At the same time, MediaTek has adopted an exclusive and innovative flagship packaging technology on Tianji 9200, which increases the overall heat dissipation capacity of the chip by 10% and delays the temperature rise time by 4 times, thus making your phone more calm.

Through a multi-pronged approach, Tianji 9200 has achieved a 25 per cent reduction in power consumption with the integration of 17 billion transistors, up to 70 per cent less power consumption in daily use scenarios, and 20 per cent reduction in power consumption in the original God game scene.

In short, strong performance coupled with a more advanced energy efficiency architecture provides adequate protection for the core experience of Tianji 9200.

2. Game experience just now we only talked about CPU when we talked about performance. Here we talk about GPU performance and game experience, which are equally important.

The biggest attraction of Tianji 9200 on GPU is that it is equipped with ARM's latest Immortalis-G715 flagship GPU, which has 11 cores, 2X floating-point operation output capacity, 3X triangle counting ability, 32% improvement in overall performance and 41% reduction in power consumption compared with Tianji 9000, which can be described as horror.

Compared with these, what is more interesting is that the Tianji 9200 is equipped with the first Immortalis-G715 GPU, which supports mobile hardware ray tracing technology. Powerful hardware-level mobile light chase allows Tianji 9200 to render more realistic soft shadows, more realistic specular reflection and richer ray-tracing refraction when running the game, in short, every frame is more realistic.

At the press conference, MediaTek also announced a cooperation with the game "Dark area Breakthrough", which is the first step in the commercial promotion of mobile hardware ray tracing, and it is believed that there will be more games to cooperate with MediaTek to adapt the hardware light pursuit effect for the Tianji 9200. Let our mobile game experience enter the next generation ahead of time.

In addition to mobile hardware ray tracing, Tianji 9200 also supports variable rate rendering (VRS) technology, which can dynamically adjust the rendering rate of different visual areas, thus helping GPU to improve energy efficiency and frame rate of the game. For example, when playing games such as "League of Legends Mobile Games", "QQ Speed" and "Yuan Shen", it can now run at full frames of high definition, while running MOBA games 120fps can save 21% power consumption on average. Electricity can be saved up to 56%, which can be said to be smooth and long-lasting.

At the meeting, Tianji 9200 released brand-new game adaptive regulation and control technology (MediaTek Adaptive Game Technology, MAGT). As the first strategic partner, "Arena of Valor" and the two teams jointly explored and built an advanced cool techs for terminal devices and game adaptation. By using the architecture of MAGT, Arena of Valor can dynamically adjust the rendering logic of the game according to the real-time load of mobile hardware, so that the game can maintain a smooth experience in the extreme scene in most cases. Whether it's heroic skills in a sudden melee, sneak attacks in the grass, or even sparkling water, MAGT's architecture always allows game applications to work with the platform to support stable frame rates behind players and core game experiences such as long-lasting game life.

Using the MAGT architecture, the temperature difference of the full frame running of "Arena of Valor" 5V5 ranked on Tianji 9200 is reduced by up to 4 degrees Celsius, and the power consumption is reduced by 18.8%, significantly improving the excellent low-temperature and long-lasting game experience!
