Oppo Find X8 Series Launching Early with Dimensity 9400
Reliable tech insider Digital Chat Station shared on Weibo that the Vivo X200 and Oppo Find X8 series, equipped with MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 chip, are set to debut before the anticipated release of the Xiaomi 15 series, which features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.
MediaTek’s Surprising Move
Traditionally, Qualcomm launches its flagship SoCs first, with MediaTek following roughly a month later. If the leak proves accurate, MediaTek might surprise the industry by introducing its next-gen flagship SoC earlier this year, alongside the devices utilizing the chip.
Despite these rumors, MediaTek has not yet confirmed the Dimensity 9400 launch. Conversely, Qualcomm has officially scheduled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s debut at the Snapdragon Summit 2024, beginning October 21.
Dimensity 9400’s Promising Features
The Dimensity 9400 is shaping up to be an impressive SoC. It’s expected to be the sole SoC featuring ARM’s latest Cortex cores, including the novel X925 performance core. In contrast, Qualcomm is transitioning from its traditional ARM cores to its proprietary Oryon CPU cores this year.
Recent reports indicate a 30% boost in single-core performance for the Dimensity 9400 compared to its predecessor.
MediaTek Dimensity 9400 IPC Performance Leak
Given the Dimensity 9300’s score of around 2207 points, the Dimensity 9400 might achieve 2870 points in Geekbench single-core tests. Interestingly, leaks suggest the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 exhibits a similar single-core performance of 2884, indicating a tight race in raw processing power.
Moreover, the Dimensity 9400 is rumored to be highly efficient, delivering superior performance while using 30% less power than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for similar tasks. It will also be the first chip to incorporate Samsung’s ultra-fast 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5x memory, the fastest available in the market.
The earlier release of the Vivo X200 and Oppo Find X8 series with the Dimensity 9400 might grant MediaTek a significant first-mover advantage, particularly if the chip meets expectations regarding efficiency and performance.
