According to MediaTek, the Dimensity 8400 has a 41% improvement in multi-core performance and a 44% reduction in power consumption compared to the previous generation. The chipset's power curve has also been adjusted to maintain peak performance over long periods of use.

The Dimensity 8400 comes with a Mali-G720 GPU, which is 24% faster and 42% more power efficient than the previous generation. It supports MediaTek Frame Rate Converter (MFRC) and MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology (MAGT) 3.0, which optimizes games for higher frame rates in real time.

The Dimensity 8400 is equipped with the NPU 880 which supports all major mainstream SLM and LMM language models. This NPU supports on-device AI features like translation, rewriting, contextual responses, AI voice recording, AI-powered media creation, etc. It also comes with MediaTek DAE support which helps DAE to help developers use the chipset for AI tasks and this feature has been borrowed from the high-end Dimesity 9400.

The Dimensity 8400 also has a MediaTek Imagiq 1080 ISP for image processing. It captures more light and can process high-resolution images faster with HDR support. The chipset also supports 5G connectivity, offering download speeds of up to 5.17 Gbps. It can seamlessly switch between Wifi and 5G networks for internet connectivity.

Phones powered by the Dimensity 8400 chip will appear soon and they will be in the mid-range as well as high-end segments.
