MediaTek has always pushed the boundaries of offering high-end performance at a reasonable price and it looks like that will continue to be the case. The company recently unveiled its Dimensity 8400 processor, which is the successor to the MediaTek Dimensity 8300.benchmark comparisonThis new processor seems like a promising upgrade, with only high-power cores included in the cluster.
The new MediaTek Dimensity 8400 that has just been launched comes with a fully octa-core cluster ARM Cortex-A725 clocked at the core 3.25GHzIf you know your processor, you’ll be surprised that there are no efficiency cores to speak of at the moment. according to this product pageThe Dimensity 8400 is built on TSMC 4nm architecture Instead of the 3nm we were expecting. Still, it succeeds in pushing out 41% more Multicore performance and 24% better peak performance thanks to the Mali-G720 GPU.
These are some amazing figures of generational progress. It seems MediaTek has gone all out on performance this time. However, despite having only one performance core, the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 still remains 44% more energy efficientThese are some of the major level attractions.
This chip will also come with it mediatek npu 880 Which will support all mainstream major language models. This will allow better processing of on-device AI models. It also includes MediaTek’s Dimension Agent AI Engine or DAE. This will allow developers to create AI applications that anticipate your needs and power up accordingly. We first saw this on the high end, MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip.
For images, it includes MediaTek imagic 1080 ispIt uses Remosaic technology to capture more light in the frame and increase focusing speed for more high-resolution results. The ISP also allows HDR in video recording at all zoom ranges. So with the right hardware, the Dimensity 8400 will be able to deliver some high-quality results.
It has an advanced 5G modem up to 3CC-CA, and offers peak download speeds of 5.17 Gbps. It uses Network Observation System (NOS) technology to rapidly move from 5G to Wi-Fi and vice versa. The midrange processor also supports WQHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. So, it could also be suitable for future foldable devices.
Overall, the Dimensity 8400 seems like a force to be reckoned with in the mid-range segment of devices. It includes all the best components of a flagship processor, and we know it won’t cost nearly as much as one. However, considering that 2024 is just days away, we won’t see any devices getting it this year. But we will keep an eye on all new phones with this processor.
