➀ MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9400 processor at an event on October 9, 2024, marking a significant breakthrough in 5G and AI processing. The Dimensity 9400 is the company's second-generation all-large core design, featuring an Arm v9.2 CPU architecture, advanced GPU and NPU, and is manufactured using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process. It boasts 29.1 billion transistors, a 28% increase from the previous Dimensity 9300, making it the first 3nm chip for the Android system. The Dimensity 9400 features a second-generation all-large core CPU with 8 cores, including a high-frequency Arm Cortex-X925 ultra-large core and several other large and efficiency cores. It is the first to support global high-speed 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5X memory, significantly improving performance and efficiency.
➁ In tests, the Dimensity 9400 showed strong performance, with single-core Geekbench scores of 3040 and multi-core scores of 9600, a 35% and 28% increase respectively. Antutu scores reached nearly 2.85 million, and even exceeded 3 million in laboratory conditions. Compared to the previous Dimensity 9300, the Dimensity 9400 reduces power consumption by 40% and can save up to 32% in daily scenarios, offering better performance and battery life for smartphones.
➂ The first smartphones to use the Dimensity 9400 chip are expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2024. Vivo and OPPO have announced that they will launch smartphones with the Dimensity 9400 chip. The first to be released is the Vivo X200 series on October 14th.
