A Geekbench listing has surfaced for an unreleased Vivo phone, offering the clearest look yet at MediaTek's next flagship chipset.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max, model V2610, appeared on Geekbench Browser with an unreleased MediaTek processor labeled "MT6995(ENG)", widely believed to be the Dimensity 9600 Pro.
The listing reveals an eight-core CPU arranged in three clusters: two prime cores clocked up to 4.55 GHz, three cores at 4.35 GHz, and three at 3.10 GHz.
In this particular test, the prime cores were limited to 2.8 GHz, so the scores don't reflect the chip's full potential.
CPU layout and GPU details
The 2+3+3 arrangement matches earlier information from tipster Digital Chat Station, who described two "Canyon" cores (thought to be Arm's unannounced C2-Ultra), three "Gelas-B" cores, and three "Gelas" cores.
If confirmed, this would be the first time MediaTek uses two ultra-large prime cores in a flagship Dimensity chip.
The listing also names the GPU as "Mali-G2-Ultra-NX MC12", aligning with previous reports.
Other details include 11.05 GB of usable RAM (pointing to 12 GB installed) and a "release-keys" signing status typical of pre-production devices.
MediaTek hasn't confirmed the Dimensity 9600 Pro yet, but earlier leaks suggest it will be built on TSMC's N2P (2 nm) process.
Estimated Geekbench 6 scores for engineering samples are around 4,200–4,300 single-core and 12,000–12,500 multi-core, though final retail chips may differ.
The Vivo X500 Pro Max is expected to be among the first phones to use the chip when the series launches in September.
