MediaTek has just unveiled its latest powerhouse, the Dimensity 9400, a flagship chipset designed to take smartphone performance to new heights.

Built using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm technology (N3E), this chipset promises to raise the bar for speed, efficiency, and AI-powered features.

It’s all about delivering a superior smartphone experience, and MediaTek seems to have pulled out all the stops with this one.

MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC: Specs and features
At the heart of the Dimensity 9400 is a reimagined CPU architecture. It’s equipped with a 1+3+4 setup, led by a Cortex-X925 core running at an impressive 3.63 GHz. This is paired with three Cortex-X4 cores clocked at 3.3 GHz, while four Cortex-A720 cores operate at 2.4 GHz to ensure efficiency.

MediaTek claims these enhancements will significantly boost both single-core and multi-core performance, thanks to faster clock speeds and a 15 per cent increase in IPC (Instructions per Cycle). In simpler terms, everything’s going to feel snappier, whether you’re gaming or just juggling multiple apps.

The graphics side is equally impressive, with the Immortalis-G925 GPU at the helm, boasting a performance upgrade of 41 per cent over previous versions. Ray tracing is 40 per cent faster, and overall power efficiency has improved by 44 per cent. So, whether you’re a mobile gamer or a casual user, graphics will be smoother, sharper, and easier on your battery.

Smarter photography, smarter AI
The Dimensity 9400 isn’t just about speed — it’s also designed to enhance photography and videography. Its new Imagiq 1090 Image Signal Processor (ISP) promises to elevate your camera’s game, allowing HDR video capture even when zooming in and out. The chipset is also the first to support 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5X RAM, ensuring smoother performance when dealing with more demanding tasks, whether you’re shooting 4K videos or editing photos on the fly.

As for the AI capabilities, the Dimensity 9400 packs a punch with its NPU 890, which consumes 35 per cent less power than its predecessor. This AI unit is set to make tasks like photo enhancement, 100x zoom, and 4K video capture at 60 fps more efficient. MediaTek’s AI tech also introduces on-device LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) training, allowing your phone to become smarter without constantly depending on cloud services. This means faster and more secure AI operations, all running directly on your device.

Designed for tri-fold designs
One of the most intriguing features of the Dimensity 9400 is its support for tri-fold smartphones — a futuristic take on foldable devices. MediaTek’s latest chipset is geared up to support these designs, offering manufacturers plenty of flexibility to get creative with new smartphone concepts.

This new chip is already making its way to manufacturers, with the Oppo Find X8 and vivo X200 series set to be among the first to showcase its capabilities. Expect these devices to hit the market towards the end of 2024, ushering in a new wave of smartphones that are not only faster and smarter but also more versatile in design.
