The launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 has been teased late last month, and now, the chip has had the veil lifted off of it. Built on the TSMC 3nm process, it’s continuing its predecessor‘s “all big core” design architecture. Which, for context, runs “ultra-large” cores with the ordinary large cores, rather than having large and small cores.
While we’re on the subject, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 has a Cortex-X925 core, three Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores. This makes it about 40% more efficient than the preceding chip model, while also providing 35% faster is single-thread and 28% faster multi-thread performance.
Also included in the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset are the Immortalis-G925 GPU which is claimed to be 40% faster while also having 40% better raytracing performance while also being more efficient. Then there’s the 8th gen NPU, for80% faster LLM prompt performance and 35% better efficiency in mobile generative AI tasks.
For media support, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 can handle 8K 60fps 10-bit video with full-range HDR. Display support goes up to WQHD+ and 180hz refresh rate, with support for tri-folders too. Finally, there’s a 7GB/s 5G modem, as well as a 4nm WiFi and Bluetooth combo chip for wireless connectivity.
For now, OPPO and vivo are already on the list of companies using the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 for their phones. We will more than likely see more as the months go by. Though it will be interesting to see if there are any other tri-folders coming up that would use it over the Qualcomm flagship.
