In light of recent rumours that Samsung is having trouble producing its new flagship Exynos 2500 chip, and that the price of Qualcomm's next flagship chipset may increase, it is reported that Samsung may make a surprise decision on the processor choice for its upcoming Galaxy S25 flagship.
The new series includes two chips: Dimensity 7300 and Dimensity 7300X. The processors have almost identical characteristics. The only difference is that Dimensity 7300X supports two displays. This chip will be used only for folding devices.
MediaTek has been working on a new top-of-the-line Dimensity 9400 chip for some time now. Now thanks to Digital Chat Station insider it has become known when the SoC will be released.
The novelty is built on the 4-nanometre process and boasts eight cores. The chip operates at a maximum clock frequency of 3.1 GHz. The novelty also integrated Mali-G610 MC6 GPU for smooth visualisation and APU 580 for improved processing of artificial intelligence functions.
As expected, the new product is an improved version of the Dimensity 9300 chip. The SoC is built on the same 4-nanometre TSMC process, but Dimensity 9300 Plus was equipped with a Cortex-X4 core, which now operates at a clock frequency of 3.4 GHz (against 3.25 GHz of Dimensity 9300). As for the three Cortex-X4 cores, on the contrary, their frequency was reduced to 2.85 GHz. The frequency of four Cortex-A720 cores is the same - 2.0 GHz.
For the first time in history, a smartphone running on a MediaTek chipset will appear on the US market. This became known during the Analyst Day event held by MediaTek. The new smartphone will not just be an entry-level or mid-range device, but a full-fledged flagship.
The presentation will showcase MediaTek's new flagship Dimensity 9300+ processor. The SoC will be an improved version of the regular Dimensity 9300 chip. Most likely, the processor will get overclocked frequency of cores and possibly improved graphics.
MediaTek has teamed up with ARM to create a new chip. Thanks to this partnership, the new product may get a new BlackHawk architecture. In theory, such a solution will greatly increase the performance of the new processor. According to the insider, Dimensity 9400 will compete with Apple A17 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chips, and in some moments even surpass them. For example, in terms of power.
Dimensity 9300 Plus will be an improved version of the regular Dimensity 9300 chip. The new product is likely to get overclocked frequency of cores and, possibly, improved graphics.
The chip is designed for budget smartphones. It is built on the 6-nanometre TSMC process and has 1 core Cortex A76 at 2.4 GHz and six cores Cortex A55 at 2.0 GHz. For graphics processing in the novelty is responsible GPU Mali G57 MC2. Dimensity 6300 got support for LPDDR4x RAM, as well as UFS 2.2 storage.
According to recent rumours, MediaTek is preparing to release its new flagship Dimensity 9400 SoC processor, which could contain more than 30 billion transistors. This number is impressive considering that Apple's A13 Bionic processor used in the iPhone 11 contains 8.5 billion transistors and the A17 Pro processor used in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max contains 19 billion transistors.
According to the latest rumours, Vivo has already signed a contract with MediaTek for its new Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is said to be 20% faster than its predecessor, the Dimensity 9300. It would launch in October 2023 and bring in around a billion dollars in revenue for the company. MediaTek hopes to continue this success with the Dimensity 9400, which is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2024.
The chip received the same specifications as the Helio G88 and Helio G85, but with an improved IPS module. That is, the novelty comes with two Crotex A75 cores (maximum frequency of 2.0 GHz) and six Cortex-A55 cores (maximum frequency of 1.8 GHz), as well as Mali-G52 MC2 graphics (maximum frequency of 1.0 GHz). The SoC is built on the same 12nm TSMC process.
MediaTek, two weeks after the release of its flagship Dimensity 9300 chip, has announced its simplified version.
Dimensity 8300 will be a simplified version of the flagship Dimensity 9300 chip. If rumours are to be believed, the SoC will get a 1+3+4 core layout: one Cortex X3 core clocked at 2.8GHz, three Cortex A714 cores at 2.4GHz and four Cortex A510 cores at 1.6GHz. It is also known that the Dimensity 8300 will come with 850MHz ARM Mali G52 MC6 graphics.
