Specifications of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 CPU have leaked online. This flagship chipset will compete with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC.
Dimensity 9400 CPU specs leak before the October 9 launch
MediaTek recently confirmed it will officially announce its flagship SoC (System on a Chip) on October 9. The capabilities of this chipset have been known due to multiple leaks and benchmark results.
Synthetic benchmarks have suggested the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC outperforms Apple’s A18 Pro in a GPU benchmark. However, the multi-core chipset’s CPU cluster and GPU specifications weren’t known.
Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has posted the specifications of the Dimensity 9400 SoC on Chinese social media platform Weibo. DCS has mentioned the Dimensity 9400 will have one Cortex-X925 super-large core clocked at up to 3.626 GHz, three Cortex-X4 large cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores.
According to GSMArena, MediaTek would have opted for Cortex-A725 CPU cores. ARM recently announced its newest Cortex-A725 design. Hence, it is highly likely that MediaTek would embed a newer and more advanced CPU core.
It is a little concerning to note that MediaTek has reportedly clocked the X4 and A720/A725 CPU cores exactly as they were in the Dimensity 9300 launched last year. Specifically speaking, the Cortex X4 CPU cores are clocked at 2.85 GHz, while the A720/A725 CPU cores are clocked at 2.0 GHz.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC is packing an Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU clocked at 1,612 MHz. Needless to say, this GPU puts the flagship Dimensity chipset on par with some desktop-grade CPUs. This was evident from the chipset recently scoring 3 million points in AnTuTu benchmarks, making it the first mobile chipset to do so.
Will the latest flagship MediaTek chipset beat Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4?
For several years, MediaTek has been trailing Qualcomm. The Chinese company has been improving its products. However, so far the company hasn’t been able to beat Qualcomm’s flagship chipsets.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will challenge the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. But Qualcomm’s upcoming SoC has reportedly been tested at a frequency of 4.47GHz in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. If raw numbers are the deciding criteria, this year’s Qualcomm’s flagship chipset would still reign supreme, especially if MediaTek is using last year’s tech.
