MediaTek has unveiled the Dimension 9400+, an SoC that promises to change the game for those looking for screaming performance and artificial intelligence that seems to know what you want before you even say it. Power, efficiency and a touch of the future all inside a smartphone. The brain that the smartphone was missing? Maybe yes.
Mediatek Dimensity 9400+: Features and performance of the AI chip
Il The Dimensity 9400+ doesn't just raise the bar. The new top-of-the-range chip from MediaTek is based on an architecture “All Big Core”, a term that already gives an idea of the mood of the situation. Inside there is an Arm Cortex-X925 core that touches the 3,73 GHz, flanked by 3 Cortex-X4 and 4 Cortex-A720. In other words, it is so powerful that it shoots, loads, calculates and responds before you finish thinking about what you want to do.
Android users will find plenty to enjoy: everything runs smoother, faster and without a hitch, even when running multiple heavy apps at the same time. The focus is not only on speed, but also on intelligence: theNPU 890 integrated has been designed to support Large Language Models (LLM) globally. Here we explain what they are and how they work.
The interesting part: we're talking about generative AI, agentic AI and all those big words that, translated, mean that the smartphone can ranswer complex questions, write texts, summarize content and manage smart interactions, all offline and securely. MoE, MLA, MTP and FP8 inference are just some of the technologies that help this chip run like few others on the market.
Using Speculative Decoding+ (SpD+), the AI performance improves by 20%. If you are wondering what agentic AI is, think of an assistant that not only follows commands, but also takes initiative, knows what to do and when to do it, anticipating needs and actions. The integration of the Dimensity Agentic AI Engine (DAE) also allows developers to transform classic AI applications into something much more autonomous and dynamic.
The graphics department takes a big leap forward with the 925-core Arm Immortalis-G12 GPU. Thanks to the support for technologies such as Opacity Micromap, theThe gaming experience on smartphones is very similar to that on PC: hair, leaves, feathers and environmental details become realistic and three-dimensional, but without slowdowns or frame drops.
The new MFRC 2.0+ (MediaTek Frame Rate Converter), developed together with game developers, doubles the perceived frame rate e Cut energy consumption by up to 40%. Translated: you play better and longer. And no, the phone does not burn your hand.
Those who love taking photos and videos will find a good ally in the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+. The Imagiq 1090 system allows you to Record HDR video across the entire zoom range, so even from a distance the details remain sharp. And the Smooth Zoom function makes everything smooth even when the subject moves, isolating both image and audio at the same time for cleaner, more professional results.
Among the most unexpected gems is the possibility of Connect via Bluetooth up to 10km away.
Additionally, there is also support for BeiDou satellites for faster localization (33% faster even without mobile network), the Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 for stable and fast connections, and MediaTek Xtra RangeTM0 technology that extends the Wi-Fi range by another 30 meters. And for those who live with two SIMs: the Dual SIM Dual Active support with dual data connection is the icing on the cake.
Which smartphones will be powered by Mediatek Dimensity 9400+
At the moment it has not been revealed which smartphones will mount this processor, but without a doubt we have the top of the range from Xiaomi, realme, Oppo and the like in the running. However, we know that the The first devices to use the chip will be released this month, as confirmed by the company itself.
