For several years, MediaTek has taken on a whole new dimension in the world of smartphones and if a few years ago, we often associated MediaTek with entry-level smartphones, this is no longer the case. Also, it is today that MediaTek formalizes its brand new high-end SoC, the Dimensity 9400. And proof that we live in a completely different era. Oppo took the opportunity to announce that its next flagship smartphone in the Find range will be equipped with MediaTek SoC. According to them, it is planned for the end of the year.
We are already the fourth generation of this high-end SoC at MediaTek and for those who have not followed everything, the main architectural difference between a MediaTek SoC and a Qualcomm SoC is that MediaTek has chosen to offer a design only with full power cores while the competition has less fast cores for better energy management. Moreover, this is often why MediaTek smartphones often heat up more than Qualcomm smartphones.
On the technical side, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 offers an ARM Cortex-X925 clocked at over 3.62GHz, combined with 3x Cortex-X4 and 4x Cortex-A720. This new architecture allows 35% more performance in “Single-Core” mode and up to 28% in “multi-core” mode compared to the previous generation. The Dimensity 9400 is engraved in 3nm at TSMC and allows for better energy management. According to MediaTek, it’s 40% more optimized on the Dimensity 9400.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 enables MediaTek to pursue its mission to become a leader in the AI space, supporting powerful applications that anticipate user needs and adapt to their preferences, while powering the generative AI technology with on-device LoRA training and video generation,” said Joe Chen, President of MediaTek. “As a fourth-generation flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9400 continues to build on our growth momentum and MediaTek’s legacy of delivering flagship performance in the most efficient design for better user experiences.
And because it’s 2024, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 integrates an 8th generation NPU which is optimized for all generative tasks such as video or AI Agents. According to the founder, the Dimensity 9400 offers up to 80% performance in LLM. Next to it we find a 12-core ARM Immortalis-G925 GPU which allows almost 41% more performance compared to the previous generation. We also find video-related functions such as HDR video recording, 4K60 optimization, WiFi 7, MediaTek Extra Range 3.0 and even support for smartphones that fold in three.
