The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagship phone processors will be launched in 2024, and are rumored to be the world's first processors with a 3nm process to support Android flagships. According to market sources, MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 will have an advantage over Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in all aspects. Among them, the Dimensity 9400 will continue the design of the Dimensity 9300 and adopt the full Cortex-X5 ultra-large core architecture to provide blessings for its performance.
According to a report by WCCFTECH, the lack of a performance-core design means that the Dimensity 9400 may compromise on energy consumption like the Dimensity 9300. However, due to the large core architecture of the processor using 3nm process technology, the energy consumption will be higher than that of the Dimensity 9300 under the condition of improved process technology.
According to the report, there is no news about the upcoming two mobile phone processor GPUs at this stage. Therefore, the relevant messages only discuss CPU performance comparisons. In addition to the Dimensity 9400, Qualcomm will switch to its self-developed Oryon CPU core for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The market also expects that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may also abandon the architecture of using performance cores, and only use the big core design codenamed "Phoenix", and adopt a 2+6 two-cluster architecture.
With two 3nm phone processors set to ditch low-performance cores in 2024, the performance of both in terms of raw multi-core performance will be exciting. Although the current market expects the Dimensity 9400 processor to have the upper hand in the competition, it is reported that some Chinese brand phones will use MediaTek's Dimensity series processors in their devices, and in addition to its performance advantages, the more important key will be in the cost performance. Since Qualcomm will use its self-developed Oryon core in 2024, this will make ** more expensive than the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which will erode the profits of many Chinese brands that must continue to ship millions of smartphones.
In the past, MediaTek continued to focus on the low-end market, so these Chinese brand mobile phone manufacturers had no choice but to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon series processors. However, the current times are different, and MediaTek's current products already have the potential to compete with Qualcomm and Apple. However, even the market news. However, with a long time before the official launch, this may still change.
