The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset has an interesting configuration made up of four Cortex-X4 prime CPU cores and four Cortex-A720 performance CPU cores. Low power efficiency cores? Nah, they’re for sissies. The Dimensity 9400 SoC is expected to be equipped with one Cortex-X5 Prime CPU core, four Cortex-X4 Prime CPU cores, and four Cortex-A720 performance CPU cores. Look, Ma. No efficiency cores once again.
The configuration of the Dimensity 9400 AP is not for sissies
The most obvious rival for the Dimensity 9400 AP is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 which will debut Qualcomm’s own Oryon cores and will also lack efficiency cores like the Dimensity 9400. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will also be produced by TSMC using its second-gen 3nm node.
