Dimensity 9200, MediaTek’s previous flagship chipset, was underwhelming compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in terms of adoption rates and performance. With the Dimensity 9300, MediaTek is attempting to rectify that this time. The business asserts that MediaTek Dimensity 9300 will outperform Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Apple’s 17 Bionic.
Leaker claims that the Dimensity 9300 is currently constructed with a 4 + 4 core configuration. Next-generation Cortex-X4 cores from ARM make up the first four cores. The remaining four cores are Cortex-A720s. This implies that there won’t be any A520 cores this time.
According to rumors, one Cortex-X4 core will act as the primary core and operate at a faster clock speed than the other three. Unknown, but according to the leaker, the Cortex-X4 clock speed must be at least 3.0 GHz. Currently, the Cortex-A720 cores will have a minimum clock speed of 2.0 GHz. Depending on Qualcomm’s configuration for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, all core frequencies might change.
The Dimensity 9300’s core configuration ensures high CPU performance. Additionally, it appears that the upcoming flagship chipset will bring about notable GPU advancements. On GFXBench’s Aztec 1440p test, the Dimensity 9300 reportedly achieves a framerate of about 90 FPS.
In a quick comparison, the framerates of the Apple A16 Bionic and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 are around 68 FPS and 53 FPS, respectively. If this is any indication, the Dimensity 9300 could ship with a GPU that is roughly 30% more powerful than the Adreno 740 found in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Upon the debut of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, we will learn more precise details.
