Breaking News: Leaked Info Reveals MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 AP Set to Outperform Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in Every Aspect
The new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 application processor (AP) is making waves in the tech world with its unique design. Unlike its predecessor, the Dimensity 9400 will not include any low-powered efficiency cores, a bold move by MediaTek as it diverges from the typical configuration of clusters for a chipset.
The chipset is expected to have eight CPU cores in total, consisting of three Prime Cortex-X5 cores and five Cortex Performance CPU cores. This design architecture is anticipated to surpass its rival, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, in all aspects, according to a Weibo post by Digital Chat Station.
The Dimensity 9400 will be manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process node, putting it on par with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in terms of manufacturing technology. However, the MediaTek chip is expected to have a big price gap compared with Qualcomm’s AP, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will debut the chip designer’s new custom Oryon cores, replacing Arm’s Cortex cores.
This pricing strategy by MediaTek could attract Chinese phone manufacturers who are looking for alternatives to Qualcomm’s chipset, especially with the announcement by a Qualcomm executive that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be more expensive than its predecessor.
Despite the buzz surrounding the Dimensity 9400, it is still in the early stages of development, and the official release is not expected for quite some time. With its bold design and price strategy, MediaTek is aiming to capture the attention of the tech industry and potentially disrupt the dominance of Qualcomm in the chipset market. It remains to be seen how this new approach by MediaTek will be received by manufacturers and consumers alike as the Dimensity 9400 makes its way into future devices.
