MediaTek will unveil the Dimensity 9300 chipset on November 6 at 7pm local time China.
The Dimensity 9300 is the chipmaker’s flagship SoC and will go up against the upcoming Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which will be revealed later today.
What sets Dimensity apart from its peers is the CPU configuration. It has four Cortex-X4 cores instead of one. They will reportedly be arranged in a 1+3 combination: a “prime” core running at 3.25 GHz and a cluster of three running at 2.85 GHz. The other four cores will be Cortex-A720 with a maximum frequency of 3 GHz – no Cortex-A520 in sight. The GPU will be an Arm Immortalis G720.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400 will only have one Cortex-X4 core (yes, three fewer), making it seem like the Dinemsity 9300 should blow away the competition. But it’s not that simple: the Cortex-X4 will be harder to keep cool, so, in theory, the Dimensity 9300 could slow down more easily to keep the temperature in check.
Early tests show Dimensity 9300 outperforming AnTuTu after passing the 2,000,000 mark. That’s a 65% better CPU score and 55% better GPU score than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
But early benchmarks have shown that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 also scores above 2 million AnTuTu, while the Exynos 2400 has a ten-core processor, potentially giving it an advantage in certain tasks.
