  • MediaTek Dimensity 9400: Benchmark Shows Slower CPU Than 8 Gen 4

    MediaTek Dimensity 9400: Benchmark Shows Slower CPU Than 8 Gen 4

    Rumors about upcoming flagship processors are swirling, with attention turning to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400, which recently appeared on Geekbench. Unlike typical CPU tests, this time it’s an AI benchmark score that has surfaced on the platform.

    AI Benchmark Results

    The Dimensity 9400 achieved scores of 1,501 in Single Precision, 1,906 in Half Precision, and 1,793 in Quantized tasks. Since Geekbench’s AI benchmark is relatively new, these results can’t yet be compared to competitors like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

    Interestingly, the benchmark reveals the octa-core CPU configuration of the Dimensity 9400. The processor is set up in three clusters: a single high-performance Cortex-X5 core at 3.63 GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 2.80 GHz for additional power, and four Cortex-A725 cores at 2.10 GHz for everyday tasks.

    Performance Expectations

    At first glance, the 3.63 GHz peak speed for the Dimensity 9400 might seem modest when compared to its rivals. Rumors suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will reach a top speed of 4.32 GHz, while Apple’s A18 series is expected to hit 4.04 GHz.

    Despite this, past leaks indicate that the Dimensity 9400 could offer a 30% boost in performance, 35% better energy efficiency, and an impressive 40% increase in AI performance. Whether this will be enough to challenge Qualcomm and Apple remains to be seen.

    Upcoming Releases

    We might not have to wait long, as the first phone featuring the Dimensity 9400 is rumored to launch in early October. The Vivo X200 series is expected to debut with this chip, possibly followed by the Oppo Find X8 line, which is also said to include the Dimensity 9400.

An insider known as Digital Chat Station shared key insights about the Find X8 on Weibo today.

    Oppo Find X8 Specifications (Rumored)

    Reports suggest that the Find X8 will have a more compact design compared to the Pro version. The device is likely to include a triple-camera setup, while the Pro model could feature a more advanced quad-camera system with dual periscope telephoto lenses. According to today’s leak, the Find X8 will have a dustproof and water-resistant chassis with an IP68/69 rating.

    Additional features mentioned include support for wireless charging, a step up from the Find X7, which launched in China in January 2024 with an IP65 rating and without wireless charging. The Weibo post comments also hinted at the Find X8 incorporating virtual solid-state buttons and a magnetic accessory ecosystem.

    Display and Camera Details

    Previous leaks from DCS indicate that the Oppo Find X8 will sport a 6.5-inch or 6.6-inch flat OLED display, supporting a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. An optical fingerprint sensor is expected to be integrated into the screen.

    For photography, the Find X8’s rear camera array may feature a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. The device is anticipated to run on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 and could be powered by a 5,600mAh battery supporting either 80W or 100W fast charging. The Find X8 is expected to be available in black, white, and blue color options.

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Rumored to Surpass Peak Clock Speeds

    Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Rumored to Surpass Peak Clock Speeds

    Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor may offer more impressive performance than initially expected. According to a new leak, the processor could achieve clock speeds higher than the previously reported 4.09 GHz, as seen in a Geekbench listing.

    The leak, provided by the consistently reliable source Digital Chat Station, indicates that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s prime core might reach speeds up to 4.37 GHz.

    Competitive Landscape

    Should this updated clock speed prove accurate, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be better positioned to compete with Apple’s A18 Pro, which is said to have a maximum clock speed of 4.45 GHz.

    Conversely, the tipster reports that the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will feature a significantly lower peak clock speed of 3.66 GHz. Nevertheless, while clock speed is a prominent metric, it does not solely determine performance.

    Performance Insights

    Indeed, several sources suggest that the Dimensity 9400 may outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 owing to ARM’s innovative Cortex-X925 core.

    Digital Chat Station further asserts that the 9400 exceeds both Apple and Qualcomm in IPC performance, with the Cortex-X5 core outperforming Qualcomm’s Nuvia CPU cores and Apple’s A17 Pro.

    Unique Features and Future Prospects

    Qualcomm is anticipated to introduce a range of distinctive features with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. It might include a DLSS Frame Gen-like feature for its Adreno 760 GPU, potentially significantly enhancing gaming experiences by smartly upscaling images.

    Ultimately, the effectiveness of these chips will depend on more than clock speed alone. Factors like architecture, power efficiency, and software optimization will all influence their actual capabilities.

    We will need to wait for official benchmarks and device releases to see how the latest SoCs from Qualcomm and MediaTek compare. However, this leak implies that the competition for mobile dominance is still fierce, and Qualcomm might have a few surprises left.
