We know the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor is on the horizon, expected for an October reveal. Now, thanks to blogger Digital Chat Station, we have a glimpse of its graphics processing power (GPU) through benchmark scores.
The leaked data focuses on the Dimensity 9400’s performance in the GFX Aztec 1440P off-screen Vulkan test, a popular benchmark for mobile GPUs. The tipster shared a screenshot showing the upcoming MediaTek SoC scored 134fps in the benchmark. For comparison, Apple’s A18 Pro reportedly reaches 72fps, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 hits 95fps.
The numbers speak for themselves. The Dimensity 9400 reportedly delivers a staggering 86% performance improvement over Apple’s latest A18 Pro chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro series. It also edges out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 by a respectable 41%.
The Dimensity 9400 utilizes the latest Mali-G925-Immortalis MC12 GPU, paired with a powerful 3.63GHz Arm Cortex-X925 CPU. We also can’t forget rumors suggesting a 30% jump in GPU performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
ARM, the maker of the GPU, claims the Immortalis G925 is their “highest performance and most efficient GPU” to date. Compared to the previous generation G720, it boasts:
- 37% increase in graphics application performance
- 52% improvement in ray tracing for complex objects
- 34% boost in AI and machine learning workload performance
- 30% reduction in power consumption
That’s a significant all-around upgrade. We’ll need independent benchmarks to confirm these figures, but the potential is exciting.
Meanwhile, Apple’s A18 Pro utilizes a 6-core GPU and delivers a 20% performance increase over its predecessor. While respectable, it falls short of the Dimensity 9400’s raw power based on these leaks.
It’s still early days, though. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is also expected to launch in October, and details remain under wraps. The three-way battle for mobile GPU supremacy is definitely heating up, with MediaTek making a bold statement with the Dimensity 9400. We’ll have to wait and see how the final chips stack up.
