Performance Enhancements
The Dimensity 9400+ maintains the same primary architecture as its predecessor, the 9400, but with a higher clock speed. Notably, the Cortex-X925 core is expected to increase to 3.7GHz from the previous 3.62GHz of the standard 9400. Additionally, there are three Cortex-X4 cores operating at 3.30GHz and four Cortex-A720 cores now running at 2.4GHz, up from 2.0GHz. The GPU remains the ARM Immortalis G925 MP12.
Benchmarking Results
According to reports from Geekbench, the chip has been benchmarked, showing a score of 2,770 for single-core performance and 8,500 for multi-core tests. This indicates a 6% increase in single-core performance and a 5% enhancement in multi-core performance compared to the standard Dimensity 9400, which had averages of 2,605 and 8,078, respectively, as noted by NotebookCheck.
Upcoming Devices
In light of the announcement, multiple smartphone manufacturers are gearing up to release devices featuring the Dimensity 9400+. A leaked list names several models expected to use the new chip:
– Oppo Find X8S, Find X8S+
– Vivo X200S
– iQOO Neo series flagship, likely the iQOO Neo 10S Pro
– Realme GT series flagship, possibly the Realme Neo 7 Pro
– OnePlus Ace 5S
– Redmi K80 Ultra
The Oppo Find X8S, Find X8S+, and Vivo X200S are anticipated to hit the market in China as early as April. The iQOO Neo 10S may follow in May, while releases from Realme, OnePlus, and Redmi are also expected during the first half of the year.
Future Releases
Additionally, Xiaomi is reportedly working on the Xiaomi 15T Pro, which is expected to launch a few months later in global markets. If Xiaomi sticks to last year’s pattern—where the Xiaomi 14T Pro was equipped with the Dimensity 9300+—the 15T Pro is likely to feature the Dimensity 9400+ as well.
