MediaTek Dimensity 9400 is Coming: Performance Upgrade Across the Board, Game Experience Evolves

MediaTek CEO Cai Lixing, speaking at the imec Technology Forum at SEMICON Taiwan 2024 in September, announced that the company's flagship smartphone chip, Dimensity 9400, is expected to launch in October. The highly anticipated Dimensity 9400 chip will bring comprehensive spec upgrades, achieving significant breakthroughs in high performance and high energy efficiency.

GPU Performance Leaps Forward, Leading the Android Lineup to Surpass Competitors

The Dimensity 9400's GPU performance is particularly eye-catching. According to digital blogger @DigitalChatStation, Dimensity 9400 GPU's real-world testing shows a GFX Aztec 1440P off-screen Vulkan frame rate of 134fps, surpassing competitor products by 86% and 41%, respectively, demonstrating its powerful performance advantage. Since the Dimensity 9300 chip, Dimensity GPUs have displayed their strong performance, and this generation has achieved groundbreaking advancements in gaming experience.

Previous leaks have also confirmed the Dimensity 9400 GPU's outstanding performance. In real-world 3DMark tests, GPU performance surpasses competitors by 30%, and at the same score, the power consumption is about 40% lower. Additionally, the Dimensity 9400's ray tracing performance will improve by nearly 20%, and it will be the first mobile launch of the new ray tracing technology, comparable to the OMM (Optical Motion Multiplier) technology in top-tier PC ray tracing, allowing for a significant improvement in ray tracing quality.

CPU Performance Steps Up, Empowering Mobile Devices

In addition to the significant GPU performance upgrade, the Dimensity 9400 chip also features "material-intensive" upgrades in CPU and memory. The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip's CPU single-core performance has improved by over 30% compared to its predecessor, requiring only 30% of competitors' power consumption in the same scenario. Furthermore, featuring the "world's fastest" 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X memory, it is poised to lead the mobile SoC CPU performance leaderboard again, fully empowering mobile devices with full performance.

Powered by TSMC's Second-Generation 3nm Process and Armv9 "Hawk" Architecture

Reports suggest that the Dimensity 9400 chip will utilize TSMC's second-generation 3nm process and Armv9 "Hawk" architecture, coupled with MediaTek's unique all-large-core architecture, resulting in significant performance and energy efficiency improvements. The advanced process technology and architectural design provide a strong foundation for the Dimensity 9400's performance enhancements.

Generative AI Functionality Optimized, Leading the Way for Intelligent Terminal Experience Upgrades

In addition to advancements in imaging, gaming, and energy efficiency, the Dimensity 9400 further optimizes generative AI functionality, offering consumers a more intelligent terminal experience.

Positive Customer Feedback, Expected Flagship Product Revenue Growth Exceeds 50% Annually

MediaTek emphasizes that customer feedback on the Dimensity 9400 chip has been very positive. The number of devices using the Dimensity 9400 for the first time is higher than that of Dimensity 9300, and annual revenue growth for flagship products in 2024 is expected to exceed 50%.

Conclusion

The imminent arrival of the Dimensity 9400 chip signals a new wave of breakthroughs in mobile chip performance. With a giant leap in GPU performance, a comprehensive CPU performance upgrade, and optimized generative AI functionality, the Dimensity 9400 will deliver a brand-new intelligent terminal experience for consumers and will stir up a new wave of competition in the market.
