MediaTek knocks the thermal stress test that throttled the Dimensity 9300 SoC by 46%،
The Dimensity 9300 Application Processor (AP) has a unique configuration consisting of four Cortex-X4 Prime CPU cores and four Cortex-A720 Performance CPU cores. This means that there are no low-power cores like the Cortex-A520. As a result, some were concerned about the Dimensity 9300 overheating, especially when leaker Evan Blass reported that the chip was overheating when running at its expected clock speeds. Chip designer MediaTek has denied this is true, although Blass has stuck to his source.
Just a few days ago we told you that the Dimensity 9300 had been put through a CPU throttling test that loaded all eight cores with up to 100 threads (each thread is a series of instructions given to the processor) on the Vivo X100 Pro and the chip limited its performance by 46% because of this. One of the chip’s cores dropped to a clock speed of 0.60 GHz, with the other cores dropping to speeds between 1.20 GHz and 1.50 GHz.
The Dimensity 9300 has four Prime CPU cores, four performance CPU cores, and no low-power CPU cores.
MediaTek has already been very defensive about the Dimensity 9300 AP and calls the processor stress test “faulty”. By Phandroidin a statement, the company said: “It is well known that all modern smartphones include thermal throttling to ensure that the device temperature remains within an acceptable/safe range. A better way to use CPU throttling test to compare devices. Next, the test would be carried out with the same temperature of the device case. “The statement adds: “With MediaTek’s big-core CPU architecture, the Dimensity 9300 will achieve a much higher maximum and average score than competitors if tested correctly. In summary, the Dimensity 9300 will be able to deliver more computing performance throughout the test. »
More important than a stress test is how the Dimensity 9300 processor holds up in real life and it will be interesting to see how the SoC and the phones packing it, like the Vivo X100 Pro, perform during a stress test. actual use.
