Following many months of rumors, leaks, and hypothesis, earlier at this time MediaTek made the Dimensity 9400 official. The corporate’s new high of the road chipset guarantees to be a mighty competitor to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and this has already been confirmed by its consequence within the AI Benchmark.
The Dimensity 9400’s NPU 890 comfortably leads in that benchmark, with 6,773 factors. It towers above its predecessor, the NPU 790 within the Dimensity 9300, which solely managed 4,911 factors, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with its measly 3,633 factors, and the Apple A17 Professional’s Neural Engine which obtained 3,428 factors.
After all, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 hasn’t been examined by this benchmark, so it stays to be seen how a lot it may enhance upon its predecessor’s rating. Apple A18 Professional outcomes aren’t out but both, and naturally the standard caveat applies for such a case – benchmarks typically do not essentially translate into actual life efficiency, and this is only one benchmark. It is also a really particular benchmark testing solely on-device AI processing prowess.
The Dimensity 9400’s NPU is alleged to devour 35% much less vitality than its predecessor, which is spectacular contemplating the way it does that whereas additionally being significantly better at its job.
