MediaTek is gearing up to launch a new mid-range chipset, the Dimensity 8400. Recent leaks suggest that this chip will adopt an aggressive all-big-core design, similar to the more powerful Dimensity 9400.
Dimensity 8400: A Powerful Core Configuration
The Dimensity 8400 is expected to feature an octa-core CPU built on TSMC’s 4nm process. This configuration includes:
- 1x Cortex-A725 Prime Core: Clocking at over 3GHz for demanding tasks.
- 3x Cortex-A725 Performance Cores: Operating at slightly lower frequencies to handle heavy workloads.
- 4x Cortex-A720 Efficiency Cores: Optimized for everyday tasks and power efficiency.
This core configuration positions the Dimensity 8400 as a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Dimensity 8300, which utilized less powerful Cortex-A510 cores.
Dimensity 8400 GPU: Immortalis-G925
The Dimensity 8400 will likely leverage the same powerful Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU as the Dimensity 9400, ensuring smooth gaming and multimedia experiences. However, the exact number of GPU cores remains unknown.
Performance and Availability
While the Dimensity 8400 is still under optimization, it’s expected to deliver impressive performance. Potential devices that may feature this chipset include the upcoming Redmi K80 series and OPPO Reno 13 lineup.
As we approach the official launch, more details about the Dimensity 8400 and its potential devices will emerge. Stay tuned for further updates.
