MediaTek has constantly been on the headlines recently, mainly due to benchmark news about its upcoming Dimensity 9400 processor. It recently set a new record for the highest score on an Android phone in AnTuTu. Now, its GPU has made a run on another benchmarking platform, Geekbench.
MediaTek Dimensity 9400 GPU Geekbench
The Dimensity 9400 features the Arm Immortalis-G925 MP12 GPU, which scored 16,257 points in Geekbench’s OpenCL benchmark.
While the score is higher than the Dimensity 9300, the new SoC is just 10% ahead of its predecessor. ARM, the GPU maker, has been touting the Immortalis-G925 as “the highest performing, most efficient GPU” to date. This Geekbench performance suggests otherwise, though.
However, before we write off the Dimensity 9400’s graphics prowess, important to consider the limitations of benchmarks. Geekbench offers a good starting point for gauging overall performance. However, it doesn’t always tell the whole story.
In this case, a previous leak suggests the Immortalis-G925 might perform better in real-world scenarios. According to the leak, the Dimensity 9400 might even outperform the Apple A18 Pro in the GFXBench Aztec 1440p off-screen Vulkan benchmark.
So, there’s still a chance the Dimensity 9400 could perform significantly better in real-world games and other intensive tasks.
Even if you walk through the raw specs, the Immortalis-G925 has some impressive specs. It has 12 compute units and a peak clock speed of 1.62 GHz, making it one of the fastest smartphone GPUs.
The benchmark was also conducted on an unreleased Vivo X200 series phone, so the test environment might not have been optimized for the Dimensity 9400.
The official launch of the Dimensity 9400 is scheduled for October 9th. This will hopefully provide a clearer picture of the Immortalis-G925’s true capabilities. Until then, it’s best to hold off on any definitive judgments based solely on Geekbench scores.
