The mobile phone chip market is fiercely competitive, and in addition to Qualcomm's Snapdragon series, MediaTek's Tengyue series has gradually occupied a place. In recent years, MediaTek has continued to target the high-end market and launched a series of flagship chips. Among them, the Tenguet 9300 stands out in terms of performance and energy efficiency, and is on par with the Snapdragon 8Gen3. But in order to gain a foothold in the high-end market, MediaTek also needs to prove its worth with generations of flagship chips.
As a result, MediaTek's flagship chip, Tenguet 9400, which is scheduled to be launched in the second half of 2024, is in the spotlight. According to the latest news, the Tenguet 9400 will use TSMC's 3nm process, which improves transistor density and energy efficiency, directly improving the performance of the chip. In addition, the Tenguet 9400 will feature an all-large-core design, with one X5 core, three x4 cores, and four A720 cores in CPU cores. To further improve performance, the Tenguet 9400 will also add L2 and ** cache to better compete with competitors.
Improved performance of the Tenguz 9400.
As a flagship chip, the performance of the Tenguet 9400 is destined to improve. According to relevant information, the Tenguet 9400 performed well in a series of tests. In the Geekbench6 test, the Tenguet 9400 scored 2776 points in single-core and 11739 points in multi-core. Antutu has a total score of about 3.45 million points, of which the CPU sub-project is about 770,000 points and the GPU sub-project is about 1.42 million points. In comparison, the Tenguet 9300 has a single-core score of 2279 points, a multi-core score of 7973 points, and an Antutu total score of about 2.19 million points, of which the CPU sub-project is about 520,000 points and the GPU sub-project is about 900,000 points. It can be seen that the Tengux 9400 has a more than 20% improvement in single-core performance, multi-core performance and GPU performance, showing strong computing power.
Compared to the rival Snapdragon 8Gen4, the performance of the Tenguet 9400 is not bad at all. Antutu's overall score is about 10% higher than that of the Snapdragon 8Gen4, which is even bigger than the gap between the Tenguet 9300 and the Snapdragon 8Gen3. As a result, the overall performance of the Tenguet 9400 is much better and can bring a better experience to users.
Competitors to the Breguet 9400.
In addition to Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips, Huawei's Kirin chips are also one of the competitors to the Tenguet 9400. However, the powerful performance of the Tenguet 9400 leaves the Kirin chip in the dust. The performance advantage of the Tenguet 9400 is that it has a higher improvement over the Snapdragon 8Gen4 and also has the advantages of TSMC's 3nm process in terms of energy efficiency. In contrast, Kirin chips are at a disadvantage in terms of performance and energy efficiency. As a result, Kirin chips need to work harder to catch up and close the gap with the Tengux 9400.
MediaTek's development prospects.
As a domestic mobile phone chip manufacturer, MediaTek's rise in the high-end market is expected. Its flagship chip, the Tenguix 9400, has seen significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency, and is backed by domestic mobile phone brands. In addition, MediaTek has also hit Qualcomm's market share by devolving the previous generation of flagship chips or manufacturing high-performance Snapdragon 7 series chips.
However, Qualcomm still maintains a solid position as a leader in the mobile phone chip market. Despite the competition, Qualcomm has maintained a competitive edge in the mid-to-high-end market through continuous innovation and the introduction of high-performance chips. Currently, Qualcomm is impacting MediaTek's market share, resulting in a 21% decrease in MediaTek's revenue in 2023 compared to 2022.
Summary: As MediaTek's flagship chip, the Tengiux 9400 not only delivers powerful performance and energy efficiency, but also keeps pace with its competitors. Considering MediaTek's deep collaboration with ARM and TSMC's 3nm process, the prospect of the Tianyu 9400 is exciting. However, in the competition with Qualcomm and Huawei Kirin chips, MediaTek needs to further improve its own strength in order to achieve greater success in the mobile chip market.
