Dimensity 9400 Arrives Strong: Performance Upgrades Across the Board, Gaming Experience Takes a Leap

The competition in the smartphone market is heating up in the second half of 2024, with major manufacturers unveiling new devices. The flagship mobile platform chips, which represent the benchmark for the next year's smartphone experience, are attracting much attention. Recently, news about the new generation of flagship mobile platforms from MediaTek, the Dimensity 9400, has been continuously exposed, sparking widespread interest.

Today, well-known digital blogger @DigitalChatStation released news revealing the real-world performance data of the Dimensity 9400 GPU. The information shows that the Dimensity 9400 GPU achieved 134fps in the GFX Aztec 1440P off-screen Vulkan test, surpassing Apple's A18 Pro by 86% and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 by 41%. The blogger also stated that the Dimensity GPU has been quite powerful since the 9300, and this generation is even more impressive.

Regarding the Dimensity 9400's GPU, previous leaks have also revealed information, mainly that its ray tracing performance has improved by nearly 20% compared to the previous generation. MediaTek will also be introducing new ray tracing technology for mobile devices, comparable to the top-tier OMM (Optical Multiplier) for PCs, which can elevate ray tracing quality to a new level. Not long ago, @DigitalChatStation also disclosed that the Dimensity 9400 platform achieved a 30% higher GPU performance in the 3DMark benchmark compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform. At the same score, the power consumption was approximately 40% lower.

If these leaks are true, it suggests that flagship phones powered by the Dimensity 9400 platform will boast ceiling-level graphics rendering performance, particularly in terms of a fluid gaming experience, leading the industry. They will also offer more realistic ray tracing graphics performance, further enhancing the immersive experience of games. This will be a significant benefit for mobile gamers.

It's worth noting that the GPU in MediaTek's flagship mobile platforms has consistently been a leader in the industry. For example, the flagship 12-core GPU Immortalis-G720 used in the previous generation Dimensity 9300 platform saw a 46% peak performance improvement. It also supports MediaTek's second-generation hardware ray tracing engine, enabling high-smoothness ray tracing at 60FPS and bringing console-level global illumination effects, truly ushering in the era of global illumination for mobile devices.

Beyond the powerful GPU performance, the Dimensity 9400 will also see comprehensive upgrades in CPU and memory. Based on currently revealed information, the Dimensity 9400 will officially launch in October, continuing the full-core CPU design. It will adopt the latest ARMv9 IP Blackhawk architecture, utilize TSMC's new generation 3nm process, further optimizing power consumption while ensuring performance improvement. Additionally, the Dimensity 9400 will utilize the industry's fastest 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X memory, marking a significant leap in smartphone memory technology.

In summary, the Dimensity 9400 platform will achieve comprehensive upgrades in CPU, GPU, and memory, with premium materials for its "three major components," making it highly anticipated. We believe that flagship phones powered by the Dimensity 9400 platform will deliver an unparalleled gaming experience and enhance the overall mobile device usage experience.
