The Vivo X200 Pro is expected to be announced on October 14th. The device will be equipped with the powerful Dimensity 9400 application processor (AP). The latter will be comprised of one Cortex-X5 prime CPU core running as fast as 3.45GHz, three Cortex-X4 CPU cores, and four Cortex-A720 CPU cores.
While the Dimensity 9400 AP sure looks like the processor to beat this year, its top rival, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (which might be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite) has yet to be run through AnTuTu. It has, however, been scored by Geekbench and a recent test showed a single-core score of 3,236 and a multi-core result of 10,049. That topped a Geekbench run for the Dimensity 9400 SoC that resulted in a single-core score of 2,889 points and a multi-core score of 8,833.

It is still early and adjustments can and will be made. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 won’t be officially announced until Qualcomm holds the annual Snapdragon Summit late next month. MediaTek is expected to welcomes the Dimensity 9400 on November 1st. Both APs will be manufactured by TSMC using its second-generation 3nm process node (N3E).
