MediaTek has launched the Dimensity 9400e, a new flagship chipset powering upcoming smartphones like the OnePlus Ace5 Racing Edition and Realme GT 7, set to debut in May 2025. As a refined version of the 9300+, it boasts enhanced Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 6.0, and AI capabilities, targeting gamers and power users.
Announced today (May 14, 2025), the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e joins the flagship Dimensity family, sitting below the 9400 and 9400+ but offering near-identical power with slight tweaks. Built on TSMC’s third-generation 4nm process, it retains the All Big Core CPU setup: one 3.4GHz Cortex-X4, three 2.85GHz Cortex-X4, and four 2.0GHz Cortex-A720 cores, paired with 8MB L3 and 10MB SLC cache. The 12-core Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU supports hardware ray-tracing, ideal for immersive gaming.
While memory support drops to 8533MHz LPDDR5X from 9300+’s 9600MHz, the 9400e shines in connectivity, offering 7.3Gbps Wi-Fi (up from 6.5Gbps) and Bluetooth 6.0 with a 5km range within line of sight. It also supports UFS 4.0 storage and the NeuroPilot SDK, enabling on-device AI for large language and vision models like DeepSeek-R1-Distill.
Gaming gets a boost with MediaTek’s HyperEngine and Adaptive Gaming Technology, plus a new Frame Rate Converter slashing power use by 40%. Scoring over 2.45 million on AnTuTu, the 9400e powers the Realme GT 7 (launching May 27 globally) and OnePlus Ace5 Racing Edition, both touting 120FPS gaming.
Will the 9400e’s AI and gaming features challenge Snapdragon’s dominance, or is it just an incremental step from the 9300+? While the numbers are big and impressive, they sometimes overpromise. We’re looking forward to testing the phone ourselves to see how much of the hype translates into real-world performance. And for those intrigued by the numbers, here’s more information about the OnePlus Ace5 Racing Edition and the Realme GT 7.
