MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 AP will top Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 “in all aspects” says leaker،
MediaTek rolled the dice on the Dimensity 9300 Application Processor (AP) by not including any low-power Efficiency core clusters on the chip and loading the chipset with four Prime Cortex-A4 CPU cores and four CPU cores Cortex-A720 Performance. Rumors that the SoC was suffering from overheating seemed to come true before the chip's release, although MediaTek issued a strong denial and sent it to us when we published the story.
More recently, a stress test applied to the Dimensity 9300 led to a throttling of the chip by 46% even though once again MediaTek defended its design. This time he called the stress test “flawed.” If you thought MediaTek might return to a more typical cluster setup for next year's Dimensity 9400, you might want to think again.
According to a message posted on Weibo by Digital Chat Station (via Wccftech), the new chip will not have four Cortex-X5 processor cores but will have eight processor cores in total. This suggests a configuration consisting of three Prime Cortex-X5 cores and five Cortex Performance CPU cores. The message written by the leaker states: “The design architecture of Dimensity 9400 ES is not 4 surpass Tongzi (Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) in all areas. aspects…”

A previous rumor indicates that once again, MediaTek will not include any energy-efficient cores in next year's flagship chipset. The Dimensity 9400 and its rival, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, will be manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process node, but the MediaTek chip is expected to have a significant price gap over Qualcomm's AP, as this The latter will launch the chip designer's new custom Oryon cores. replacement of Arm's Cortex cores.
A Qualcomm official previously mentioned that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be more expensive than its predecessor. The wider price gap should help MediaTek generate sales from Chinese phone makers who might normally have equipped their phones with Qualcomm's chipset.
Given that the Dimensity 9300 SoC was officially announced early last month, we have a long way to go before the Dimensity 9400 sees the light of day.
