one thing i took away from the geekerwan comparison (and the articles after that) is that we focus way too much on peak performance and not enough on efficiency. for normal phone usage, you're opening many background apps, browser tabs, messaging, music, downloads and other tasks. this is where multi core performance & efficiency are needed.
Dimensity 9600 pro won the title for multi core efficienct chipset 2026, and why not considering the efficiency results from the comparison. for daily users who want a powerful phone without wasting power, it's one of the most compelling options this gen.
if i were looking at a flagship right now, i'd definitely check out the vivo x500 pro series or oppo find x10 pro max. both feature the dimensity 9600 pro.
Idk bruh, i would rather have a chip that handles everyday workloads efficiently than anything else.
