MediaTek is officially unveiling its next flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9400, on October 9. Ahead of that, the chip has already overtaken Apple’s A18 chip in a GPU benchmark, and topped the AnTuTu scales.
Today courtesy of prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station we get purported details about its CPU cores. According to DCS, the Dimensity 9400 will have one Cortex-X925 super-large core clocked at up to 3.626 GHz, three Cortex-X4 large cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores, though the latter could be a typo since Cortex-A725 are the latest designs from Arm.
Anyway, DCS says the X4 and A720/A725 cores will be clocked exactly as they were in the Dimensity 9300 launched last year, so up to 2.85 GHz for the former and 2 GHz for the latter. The Dimensity 9400 will have an Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU clocked at 1,612 MHz.
The Dimensity 9400 will go head-to-head against Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC (perhaps being renamed as Snapdragon 8 Elite), which is also launching this month, but a little bit after MediaTek’s new chip. Both of them seem to offer good improvements over the past generation, while the Dimensity 9400 is also rumored to be significantly cheaper.
