Vivo X90 series ready to include next-gen MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC variants

The Vivo X90 series is rumored to be in development and may arrive by the end of this year. Unlike the company’s current Vivo X80 lineup, this upcoming series is likely to come with three models – the vanilla Vivo X90, Vivo X90 Pro and Vivo X90 Pro+. Previous reports have suggested that the Vivo X90 handset could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. A notable tipster has now claimed that the Chinese tech giant may also introduce MediaTek Dimensity chipset-powered variants of these models.

according to a Post By tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Vivo may launch the next generation MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC iterations of the Vivo X90 series. The tipster also claims that the next-gen Dimensity 9000 chipset has a higher AnTuTu benchmark score than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

The tipster had earlier speculated that Qualcomm had achieved peak clock speeds of up to 3.5GHz with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. This next generation chipset is expected to launch sometime in November. It will be interesting to see how far MediaTek can push its next-generation chipsets to beat Qualcomm’s upcoming SoCs.
