MediaTek has introduced a new mobile chipset, the Dimensity 9400e, an addition to its flagship Dimensity lineup. The 9400e sits below the 9400 and 9400+ models and is essentially a rebranded version of last year's 9300+ with minor changes.
The Dimensity 9400e is built on an All Big Core architecture with one Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.4 GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores clocked at 2.85 GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz — a configuration identical to the 9300+. The chip is equipped with 8 MB of L3 cache and 10 MB of SLC. It supports LPDDR5X RAM with a frequency of up to 8533 MHz (which is lower than the 9600 MHz in the 9300+) and UFS 4 + MCQ storage. The same 12-core Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU with hardware ray tracing is responsible for graphics processing.
While most of the multimedia and communication capabilities remain the same, the Dimensity 9400e offers higher peak Wi-Fi speeds of up to 7.3Gbps (versus 6.5Gbps on the 9300+), and is also equipped with Bluetooth 6.0. The chip also supports MediaTek’s latest NeuroPilot SDK, which ensures compatibility with modern AI technologies.
As for mobile gaming, the MediaTek 9400e chip, like the 9300+ model, supports HyperEngine and Adaptive Gaming Technology. They help increase performance and reduce power consumption. In addition, the new product received the Frame Rate Converter function from MediaTek, which, according to the manufacturer, allows you to reduce power consumption by 40%, although the exact mechanism of its action is not disclosed.
The MediaTek 9400e will be available in smartphones soon. OnePlus and realme will be the first to use it.
