The anticipated replacement for MediaTek's Dimensity 8300 series is said to be a cutting-edge 4 nanometer (4nm) chip featuring at least one of ARM's newest mobile processor cores, as suggested in earlier reports. Recently, the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station has come forward, seemingly substantiating these claims and providing additional intriguing insights.
Performance Specs
The Dimensity 8400 is expected to come with a single-core cluster that operates at a remarkable 3.25GHz, along with three additional cores running at 3GHz and four more at 2.15GHz, totaling the usual eight cores. While these specs may seem impressive, it's worth noting that they are actually slower than those found in the 8300-Ultra. This difference is attributed to the fact that the older model utilized Cortex-A715 or A510 cores, whereas the 8400 will be equipped with newly designed A725 cores, according to the latest information from the well-known leaker.
Efficiency Insights
In addition, Digital Chat Station has suggested that none of these cores will focus on efficiency mode. This means the performance is likely aimed at power rather than energy-saving features.
The new System on Chip (SoC) will also feature a variant of the Immortalis-G720 GPU known as the MC7, which could operate at a speed of 1.3GHz. This upgrade is projected to help the 8400 achieve impressive scores of around 1.8 million on the AnTuTu benchmark.
Future Devices
As of now, the first smartphone to utilize the Dimensity 8400 remains unidentified. However, potential candidates include the rumored Oppo Find X8S, which may succeed the Redmi K70E or Realme Neo6 SE. Meanwhile, the expected launch date for this processor is December 23, 2024.
