Dimensity 9300 unlocked: MediaTek's latest boasts Big-Core CPU and Ray-Tracing excellence
Delhi : The new generation of MediaTek flagship chipsets, the Dimensity 9300, is designed to compete with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which powers the upcoming Android flagships from Chinese smartphone manufacturers.
The all-big core CPU architecture of the Dimensity 9300, which is based on TSMC's third generation 4nm+ manufacturing node, is its most notable characteristic. Based on the Armv9 architecture, you get four Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.0GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores clocked at 2.85GHz, and a prime Cotex-X4 core clocked at 3.25GHz. According to MediaTek, the Dimensity 9300 uses 33% less power and provides a 40% increase in peak performance over the Dimensity 9200 from the previous year.
With hardware-based ray tracing, the 12-core Immortalis-G720 MC13 GPU complements the CPU, providing 46% more performance than its predecessor at 40% lower power consumption. The most recent LPDDR5T RAM at 9,600Mbps speeds and UFS 4.0 storage with Multi-Circular Queue (MCQ) capability are also supported by the Dimensity 9300.
The APU 790 handles AI workloads; it can generate stable defusion in less than a second for generative AI and supports LLM with up to 33 billion parameters. The Dimesnity 9300 supports dual-active displays for foldables in addition to panels with up to WQHD resolution and 180Hz refresh rates.
The Imagiq 990 ISP manages picture capture and features a stand-alone image stabilization module in addition to always-on HDR. With real-time bokeh and cinematic mode, the ISP can handle 4K at 30/60 frames per second or up to 8K at 30 frames per second. 8CC-CA mmWave and 4CC-CA Sub-6GHz bands are supported by the R16 5G modem. The MediaTek UltraSave 3.0+ technology in the modem should result in increased power efficiency.
The upcoming introduction of the Vivo X100 series in China is anticipated to introduce the new Dimensity 9300 platform. In the upcoming days, other Android chip manufacturers will probably declare their support for the new chip.
