After a long wait, MediaTek has finally introduced its new flagship mobile chipset, the Dimensity 9400, introducing a system that makes it easier for phone makers to integrate more advanced artificial intelligence tools.
It is equipped with ultimate performance, immense gaming, and new AI experiences.
The Dimensity 9400 chipset is built on a 3nm process and shows up to 40 percent more power efficiency than its predecessor, the 9300. It features one Arm Cortex-X925 core running at 3.62GHz, along with three Arm Cortex-X4 and four Cortex-A720 cores, announced last year.
The company claims that this combination can enable 35 percent faster single-core performance and 28 percent faster multi-core performance compared to its previous chipset model.
The chipset also comes with Arm’s new 12-core Immortalis-G925 GPU that allows 40 percent faster ray tracing.
Moving toward the future-looking features, the company has its own eighth-generation NPU that can train specific lightweight AI models on-device, promising “80 percent faster large language model prompt performance.”
The recent flagship also supports AI video generation and provides a developer framework, allowing the tool to create agentic applications, which is often considered the next big thing in AI.
Additionally, for the upcoming tri-folding phones, the chipset will support scaling content for the extended screens.
It is expected that the Dimensity 9400 will be ready even before the devices it supports grace the market. The company says the chipset will be available in the market in Q4 of this year, the year’s end.
However, as the company has always been releasing high-end chips in flagship phones from Chinese OEMs like Vivo and Oppo, the 9400 may not be available in the US market dominated by Qualcomm chipsets.
