For the first time with a MediaTek processor
The previous ROG Phone 6 series used Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which performed well. In the ROG Phone 6D series, ASUS collaborated with MediaTek for the first time, and adopted MediaTek’s latest technology in both mobile phones. Leading processor : Dimension (Dimmensity) 9000+, so the letter D is added to the model as a difference.
Asus pointed out that this MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ uses TSMC’s 4nm process, equipped with 1 Cortex-X2 3.2GHz large core, 3 Cortex-A710 2.85GHz medium cores and 4 Cortex-A510 small cores, and uses Mali-G710 MC10 GPU; Compared to Dimensity 9000, Dimensity 9000+ has 5% higher CPU performance and 10% higher GPU performance. ASUS said that the ROG Phone 6D with Dimensity 9000+ can achieve a high score of 1.14 million in AnTuTu.
In addition, the ROG Phone 6D series has a maximum of 16GB RAM. Although slightly less than the 18GB RAM of the ROG Phone 6 Pro, the ROG Phone 6D series uses LPDDR5X RAM, which increases the bandwidth by 17% compared to the LPDDR5 memory used by the ROG Phone series 6. %, the latency is reduced by 15%, and the performance is better; and it is also the first smartphone in Taiwan to have LPDDR5X RAM.
AeroActive Port aerodynamic radiator: New Cooling Mechanism
With the flagship processor, the ROG Phone 6D series is also more active in heat dissipation. In addition to the sandwich cooling system of the previous ROG Phone 6 series, the design of the central processor, boron nitride thermal paste, and support for an external cooling fan AeroActive Cooler 6 (6D Ultimate as standard), the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate also designed a new “Gateway AeroActive aerodynamic radiator valve” on the fuselage.
The AeroActive Port aerodynamic cooling valve is located on the back of the phone near the left side (the original “Dare to Play” lighting effect position). The whole module consists of more than 50 components, and the surface is made of stainless steel to make it more durable; this module is mainly used for For the role of the cooling vent door, when the user installs the AeroActive Cooler 6 cooling fan on the phone, the AeroActive Port will be electrically opened to reveal the internal cooling fins, and ‘these fins are connected to the processor above the Vapor Chamber processor, which means that the heat energy of the processor can be maintained directly to the fins, and then blown away by the fan, which increases’ the heat dissipation area 9 times and improves the heat dissipation efficiency by 20%; In cool mode, the phone’s temperature can be lowered by up to 10 degrees. However, although the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate has a heat dissipation hole directly on the fuselage, the phone also maintains IPX4 life splash proof performance.
ASUS also pointed out that the rotating shaft of the AeroActive Port is made of liquid metal casting (liquid metal), which can greatly improve the durability of the rotating shaft, reaching at least 40,000 switching cycles. In addition, the AeroActive Port also supports an anti-drop mechanism When the phone is accidentally dropped, the AeroActive Port will automatically close to prevent the metal cover from being damaged by impact.
