“MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will continue to deliver on our mission to advance AI by supporting powerful applications that anticipate user needs and adapt to their preferences, while advancing generative AI technology with on-device LoRA learning and video creation,” said Joe Chen. , President of MediaTek. “As a fourth-generation flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9400 continues to build on our ongoing market share momentum and legacy MediaTek deliver flagship performance in the most efficient design for the best user experience.”
Integrating MediaTek’s 8th generation NPU, Dimensity 9400 boasts a number of industry firsts with its exceptional generative AI performance; It is the first mobile chipset to offer on-device LoRA training, high-quality on-device video creation, and agent-based AI support for developers. To enable users to take advantage of the latest agent-based and generative AI applications, Dimensity 9400 delivers large language model (LLM) query performance up to 80% faster and 35% faster than Dimensity 9300.
The Dimensity 9400 also integrates MediaTek’s new Dimensity Agentic AI Engine (DAE), which is designed to transform traditional AI applications into sophisticated agent-based AI applications. MediaTek is working with developers to create a unified interface between AI agents, third-party APKs and models that effectively run both AI at the edge and cloud services. This streamlined approach allows models to work with many different third-party APKs, reducing development time and helping to create a new ecosystem of agent-based AI applications.
12-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU delivers immersive gaming experience with performance ray tracing Up to 40% faster than previous generation. Dimensity 9400 also offers PC-grade features on smartphones with support for Opacity Micro Mapping (OMM) to create realistic effects. The chipset’s powerful GPU also delivers a 41% increase in peak performance and up to 44% power savings compared to the Dimensity 9300, allowing users to game for longer. In addition, Dimensity 9400 supports HyperEngine, delivering ultra-high resolution and stunning image quality, jointly developed by MediaTek and Arm Accurate Super Resolution (Arm ASR).
Powered by the MediaTek Imagiq 1090 processor, Dimensity 9400 enables HDR video recording across the entire zoom range so users can capture the perfect moment from a distance; MediaTek’s Smooth Zoom technology also makes it easy to capture moving subjects. Additionally, it is designed to minimize power consumption when shooting photos and videos, offering up to 14% less power consumption when capturing 4K60 video compared to the Dimensity 9300.
Some additional features of the Dimensity 9400 include:
- Updated 5G modem 3GPP Release-17 with 4CC-CA and performance up to 7 Gbps at frequencies below 6 GHz.
- The new 4nm Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chip delivers 7.3Gbps data transfer speeds and up to 50% lower power consumption compared to the previous generation.
- Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 MLO support.
- MediaTek Xtra Range™TM0, which provides up to 30m more Wi-Fi coverage.
- 5G/4G Dual SIM, Dual Active and Dual Data capabilities give users more flexibility.
- Supports tri-fold smartphones, giving smartphone manufacturers the opportunity to develop innovative new form factors.
The first smartphones with MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will appear on the market from the fourth quarter of 2024.
