After Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, another chip beats Apple A17 Pro in vital performance metric،
Smartphones, especially high-end ones, have advanced to the point where it doesn’t really matter what processor they have anymore, as they are all very fast for everyday tasks. However, only one chip can be crowned as the best and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 is fighting hard for the top spot.
Announced yesterday, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 features an unusual processor configuration with four large Cortex-X4 cores, four Cortex-A720 performance cores, and no efficiency cores.
Despite this unconventional design, MediaTek claims its latest chip for flagship Android phones uses 33% less power than the Dimensity 9200.
According to the benchmark scores disclosed by the tipster
@Tech_ReveA benchmark device powered by the Dimensity 9300 scored 2,289 points on the single-core test and 7,997 points on the multi-core test.
The iPhone 15
Pro Max, powered by Apple’s A17 Pro chipset, scored 2,958 and 7,288 points.
Looking at these scores, it looks like the Dimensity 9300 will offer the best multi-core performance of any smartphone chipset. While we haven’t seen the chip in action yet and can’t stop thinking about the rumor that fueled fears that the Dimensity 9300 had an overheating issue, even though MediaTek shot it down, the Purported benchmark results are still impressive, especially since this is a 4nm chip and not a 3nm chip like the A17 Pro.
According to the fugitive
Ice universeMediaTek’s new chip is also more energy efficient than the
Snapdragon 8 generation 3.
Since the Snapdragon 8 generation 3 is apparently more expensive than the 8 Gen 2, the Dimensity 9300 is a good option for manufacturers who don’t want to increase the price of their flagship phones.
Generally speaking, better single-core performance will make the phone feel snappy during everyday activities like opening apps and browsing the web, while multi-core performance comes into play when your phone is doing demanding tasks like than running a game or when multitasking. .
Even though the chip does not have a power-efficient core, MediaTek assured that this will not negatively impact battery life, as the A720 will consume less power in its low-power state. consumption than a small core like the A520 running. at close to maximum power or for a longer period.
The chip features a 12-core Arm Immortalis-G720 GPU, which MediaTek says will allow phones powered by it to offer console-level lighting effects. The company claims that the GPU is faster than the Snapdragon 8 generation 3 in some tests such as GFXBench Manhattan 3.1.
