The 9500 is also up to 30% more power efficient while multitasking in games and social audio call apps.

“As AI becomes part of everyday life, consumers want devices that feel smarter, faster, and more personal without sacrificing battery life,” said JC Hsu, corporate senior vice president at MediaTek and general manager of the Wireless Communications Business Unit. “The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 delivers exactly that: Breakthrough on-device AI, top-tier performance and efficiency, and a full suite of premium experiences that our partners can bring to users around the world.”

The platform’s new cache and memory architecture, including the industry’s first support for 4-channel UFS4.1, doubles read/write speeds and accelerates large AI model loading by 40%.

Doubling its integer and floating-point computing capabilities, users benefit from 100% faster 3 billion parameter LLM output, 128K token long text processing, and the industry’s first 4k ultra-high-definition image generation; all while slashing power consumption at peak performance by 56%.

The Dimensity 9500 is the first to support an integrated compute-in-memory architecture for its newly-added Super Efficient NPU, significantly reducing power consumption and enabling AI models to run continuously. This advancement further enhances end-user experiences with more sophisticated proactive AI.

With MediaTek Imagiq 1190, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 supports RAW-domain pre-processing, up to 200MP capture, 30fps continuous focus tracking, and new portrait engine, while enabling cinematic 4K 60FPS portrait video. It offers offers the latest MiraVision Adaptive Display technology, which dynamically adjusts contrast and color saturation based on ambient lighting, panel characteristics, and real-time content analysis. This ensures a clear viewing experience both outdoors in high-brightness scenarios — without overheating during prolonged use — and indoors in extremely dark environments, providing eye protection while maintaining clarity.

Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach Celebrates Peace and Conservation with “Journey to the Sea” Turtle Release Event


PHUKET, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 September 2025 – Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach proudly celebrated a successful “Journey to the Sea” turtle release, marking a powerful connection between nature conservation and the principles of peace. The event, which took place from September 6-8, provided an unforgettable experience for guests and was a testament to the collective effort to protect our planet.

Our guests named the sea turtles: King Julian, Mr. Turtle Junior, Flipper, Timmy, and Chokdee. It was their first time seeing the ocean after being lovingly cared for.
Our guests named the sea turtles: King Julian, Mr. Turtle Junior, Flipper, Timmy, and Chokdee. It was their first time seeing the ocean after being lovingly cared for.

This heartwarming story began months ago in the Similan Islands, where a new generation of green sea turtles was at risk. With over 80% of their nests threatened by rising sea levels, the Royal Thai Navy acted swiftly to rescue the fragile eggs from the beaches of Koh Huyong. They were then carefully transported to the Phuket Marine Biological Center, where specialists meticulously incubated and nurtured the hatchlings.

Their journey continued under the dedicated care of the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation for 10 months. These tiny turtles grew stronger each day, preparing for their return to the wild. This event marked their first sight of the ocean—a truly magical moment of homecoming.

“This successful event shows the positive impact we can have when we come together,” said Mr. Trevor May, Multi-Property General Manager. “Our commitment to marine animal welfare and environmental preservation is a core part of our mission, and we are proud to be a platform for this inspiring story.”

The event began with an Ocean Scavenger Hunt on September 6th, where four lucky winners earned the exclusive privilege of naming a turtle and assisting in its release. Guests also enjoyed a special educational session with WildAid, learning about the global 30×30 conservation initiative to protect 30% of our oceans by 2030.

The event culminated on September 8th with the emotional release of the hatchlings at Merlin Beach. As we approach the International Day of Peace on September 21st, the green sea turtle, a global symbol of serenity, longevity, and peace, perfectly embodies our mission. Their long, peaceful journey through the world’s oceans reminds us of the interconnectedness of all life and our shared responsibility to foster peace with nature.

This event is a powerful example of Marriott’s global “Serve 360” project, where we strive to create positive and sustainable impacts in our communities. Our on-site Merlin House Reef Educational Center is a testament to our commitment to protecting the vibrant reef directly in front of our resort. By joining us for this turtle release, our guests became a part of our ongoing story of conservation and a shared responsibility to protect our oceans.

State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company: Autumn Inspection Safeguards Enterprises, Fortifies Power Supply ‘Safety Net’

JINCHANG, China, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 15th, staff members Wang Pengshan and Li Xingjun from State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company visited Gansu Wengfu Chemical Co., Ltd., providing professional support to safeguard the enterprise’s safe production.

This special inspection focused on the core links of the enterprise’s electricity consumption, with key attention on the enterprise’s 6kV power distribution room – the “central nervous system” of power supply. In strict accordance with safety regulations, the staff assisted the electrical supervisor in conducting accurate temperature measurements on equipment joints using an infrared thermometer to identify potential overheating risks. They also verified the setting values of protection devices against standards to ensure precise tripping in case of faults, and tested the performance of insulating tools to guarantee operational safety. Every step was carried out with meticulous care, leaving no potential risk unaddressed.

During on-site communications, the team not only “investigated hidden dangers” but also emphasized “sharing experience and providing services”. Based on the enterprise’s recent production schedule and the operational characteristics of the power grid, they offered professional technical guidance on load distribution, emergency duty scheduling, and improvement of accident response plans, helping the enterprise build a more robust electricity guarantee system for festivals. Both parties also conducted in-depth discussions on key safety issues such as the locking management of 35kV PT cabinets and misoperation prevention. Combined with practical cases, they analyzed risk points and put forward optimization suggestions. Additionally, the team proactively explained the latest electricity tariff policies and time-of-use pricing mechanisms to the enterprise, and guided the enterprise to plan production schedules based on the rules of electricity price fluctuations, helping the enterprise scientifically reduce energy costs and achieve “cost reduction and efficiency improvement”.

From the detailed inspection of the power distribution room, to the demand research in the monitoring room, and the accurate delivery of policies and technologies, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company has not only helped the enterprise improve its safe electricity use level and bridge the “last mile” for the implementation of enterprise-benefiting policies, but also further narrowed the distance between the power supply enterprise and key customers, and deepened mutual trust and cooperation between the two sides.

Eastroc Beverage Ranked Kantar BrandZ Top 100 Chinese Brands for Four Consecutive Years, Brand Value Soars 73% to 44th

SHANGHAI, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 2025 Kantar BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Chinese Brands Report was recently released. Eastroc Beverage ranked 44th on this authoritative global rank with a brand value of $4.218 bn. This represents a significant jump of 25 positions YOY, accompanied by a remarkable 73% surge in brand value — the third-highest growth rate on the entire list.


Food and Beverage is a highly competitive industry, yet Eastroc Beverage has achieved double-digit growth in both revenue and profit for six consecutive years from cutthroat competitions. Its full-year operating revenue for 2024 reached ¥15.839 billion, an increase of 40.63% YOY. Meanwhile, the brand is rapidly expanding its global footprints, introducing its products to 31 countries and regions and actively exploring potentials in Southeast Asia, Northern America, Europe and Middle East etc.

In this new era, brand competitiveness hinges on multi-dimensional, long-term success. Guided by the “long-termism” principle, Eastroc Beverage has built a brand that combines strategic resilience with tactical agility, thus sustaining resilient growth against different business cycles.

To navigate market dynamics, the company employs a multi-category strategy. Its core product, “Eastroc Energy Drink”, continues to act as a steady cornerstone, maintaining its position as China’s best-selling energy drink for four consecutive years. The 500ml bottled Eastroc Energy Drink has secured a steady position among the top three China’s beverages in Nielsen report, making the product a genuine “classic” in the Chinese market. On the other hand, a matrix of newer products, such as “Eastroc Water Boost” (its electrolyte beverage), has become pivotal for growth. This “1+6” product portfolio spans energy drinks, electrolyte water, sugar-free tea, ready-to-drink coffee, pre-mixed cocktails, plant-based protein drinks, and fruit tea. In the first half of 2025, “Water Boost” achieved revenue of ¥1.5 billion, a year-on-year surge of 214%, demonstrating strong growth momentum. The “1+6” strategy derives from keen insights into shifting demands and precise brand asset leveraging.

Eastroc Beverage employs a flexible marketing mix continues to amplify brand visibility. In an age featuring media fragmentation, Eastroc Beverage partners with premium content and major traffic-driving IPs like the FIFA World Cup, Asian Games, and KPL esports, complemented by strategic placements in popular film and TV for efficient exposure. Offline, the brand leverages touchpoints like elevator, subway, and bus advertisements for steady reach, while using scenario-based and emotional marketing to integrate its products into consumers’ daily lives and even make closer friends with them.

The food and beverage industry has fully entered a stage of refined operations and market segmentation. Leveraging a clear product strategy, efficient resource allocation, and continuous accumulation of brand value, Eastroc Beverage is embarking on a phase of high-quality growth. Looking ahead, Chinese domestic brands represented by Eastroc Beverage are poised to showcase “China’s vitality”, expanding their global influence with sustainable growth.
