- An early Geekbench listing from an unreleased Vivo phone has given the most detailed look yet at MediaTek’s upcoming flagship chipset, with a test unit (model V2610) running an unreleased MediaTek processor labeled 'MT6995(ENG).'
- The Geekbench data points to an eight-core design split into three clusters: two prime cores up to 4.55 GHz, three cores peaking at 4.35 GHz, and three cores at 3.10 GHz.
- The 2+3+3 arrangement matches earlier information from tipster Digital Chat Station, who described two 'Canyon' cores, three 'Gelas-B' cores, and three 'Gelas' cores.
- The listing also names the GPU as 'Mali-G2-Ultra-NX MC12', which lines up with previous reports.
- Other details from the entry include 11.05 GB of usable RAM (pointing to 12 GB installed) and a 'release-keys' signing status typical of pre-production devices.
- Earlier leaks suggest it will be built on TSMC's N2P (2 nm) process, with estimated Geekbench 6 scores for engineering samples sitting in the 4,200–4,300 single-core and 12,000–12,500 multi-core range.
A Geekbench listing for the unreleased Vivo X500 Pro Max has unveiled MediaTek's upcoming flagship chipset, designated as MT6995(ENG). This chipset features an eight-core design with a unique 2+3+3 core arrangement, including two prime cores capable of reaching 4.55 GHz.3
The test unit, identified as model V2610, showed the prime cores limited to 2.8 GHz during testing, indicating that the reported scores do not reflect the chipset's full potential. The architecture includes three cores peaking at 4.35 GHz and three additional cores running at a base frequency of 3.10 GHz.
This configuration aligns with earlier insights from tipster Digital Chat Station, who noted the presence of two “Canyon” cores, three “Gelas-B” cores, and three “Gelas” cores, the latter being associated with the Dimensity 9500.
If confirmed, this would mark the first instance of MediaTek employing two ultra-large prime cores in a flagship Dimensity chip. The listing also identifies the GPU as Mali-G2-Ultra-NX MC12, consistent with prior reports. Additional specifications include 11.05 GB of usable RAM, suggesting a total of 12 GB installed, and a release-keys signing status typical of pre-production devices. Earlier leaks indicate that the chipset will be manufactured using TSMC’s N2P (2 nm) process, with estimated Geekbench 6 scores for engineering samples ranging from 4,200–4,300 in single-core and 12,000–12,500 in multi-core performance, although MediaTek's pre-launch projections have historically been optimistic.6
“The listing also names the GPU as 'Mali-G2-Ultra-NX MC12' and shows 12 GB RAM, with the 2+3+3 core arrangement matching tipster Digital Chat Station's earlier description. If confirmed, this would mark the first time MediaTek uses two ultra-large prime cores in a flagship Dimensity chip.”
