According to an Ice Universe insider, the Dimensity 9400's ray tracing performance is improved by 20 per cent over the previous generation, thanks to new technology similar to NVIDIA's Opacity Micro-Maps (OMM) used in PCs.

In addition, another insider, Digital Chat Station, claims that the Dimensity 9400 GPU performs 30 per cent better in 3D Mark benchmarks while reducing power consumption by 40 per cent compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The chip will be based on TSMC's 3nm process and will include eight cores: one 3.4GHz Cortex-X5, three Cortex-X4 and four Cortex-A720.
