India, Feb. 9 -- At the recent MediaTek Tech Day in New Delhi, the conversation shifted from basic 'smartphone specs' to a more transformative shift in the silicon landscape with the institutionalisation of Agentic AI Semantic Engineering at the hardware level.

With Dimensity 9500 and Dimensity 8500, Mediatek is signalling a pivot towards 'All-Big Core' architectures designed to handle the rigorous compute demands of generative reasoning and multi-modal AI models.

The standout feature of the new Dimensity lineup is the integration of agentic AI capabilities. Unlike standard AI, which follows reactive commands, agentic AI is designed for proactive reasoning. The Dimensity 9500 features a specialised NPU optimised for multi-modal models. ...
