The all-big nuclear storm is coming, Dimensity 9300 breaks the limit, and MediaTek shipments dominate the world again!

MediaTek once again dominates the global smartphone chip market! Counterpoint Research's latest report shows that they once again took the lead with 32% market share. MediaTek's gain on the global stage is due to the significant growth in their 5G SoC shipments. At the same time, they also brought the explosive news that exploded the market - the Dimensity 9300 is about to come out! This "magic" chip designed with a full-core CPU architecture has a performance comparable to A17, but the power consumption is greatly reduced by more than 50%, which is really shocking!

For the mainstream architecture of flagship mobile phones on the market today, the idea of full core is indeed different. The traditional architecture is generally composed of super large cores, large cores, and small cores, but this time MediaTek directly designs the flagship chip architecture with a super large core + large core solution, and discerning people know that this time it is going to the performance ceiling. Some insiders said that this "big core start" design idea, or will be the future flagship mobile phone chip trend, in other words, 2024 flagship mobile phone processor is a full core, this year is really rolled up to a new height...

With the iteration of Android applications in recent years, the functions of daily APP have been continuously added, so that the actual load of the past "low-load" applications is not low. Xu Jingquan, Senior Deputy General Manager of MediaTek and General Manager of Wireless Communication Business Unit, said in a public speech: "Arm's 2023 IP will lay a good foundation for the next generation of Dimensity's flagship mobile chips, and we will deliver amazing performance and energy efficiency through breakthrough architecture design and technological innovation." Obviously, MediaTek has also seen this trend early, so it decided to replace the previous small core work with a low load state with a large core to achieve higher energy efficiency, that is, the full large core works efficiently, this breakthrough architecture design is very imaginative.

In this regard, the well-known technology media Geek Bay believes that the all-large-core CPU architecture used by Dimensity 9300, in fact, this crazy heap scale approach to energy efficiency, large-scale low frequency does help to achieve stronger energy efficiency under medium and high loads. If you can optimize low loads, you will not be uncompetitive. As for cutting small cores, I am not surprised, Apple has long been used as small cores, and Android will go in this direction sooner or later. It's just that the 4 X4s really blew me away. If the extreme performance is so aggressive, the power consumption can be controlled on a daily basis, which is indeed worth looking forward to.

In MediaTek's public speech, it can also be found that the Dimensity 9300, the next generation of Dimensity's flagship core, will use Arm's new IP in 2023, which means that the CPU of Dimensity flagship will be the latest X4 and A720 at this year's meeting. According to the information released by Arm, the Cortex-X4 ultra-large core based on Armv9 has once again broken through the performance limits of smartphones, increasing performance by 15% compared to X3, and a new energy-efficient microarchitecture based on the same process can reduce power consumption by 40%. The Cortex-A720 will become the mainstream big core next year, which can improve the sustained performance of mobile chips and is the main core of the new CPU cluster.

Combined with the energy efficiency gain brought by Arm's new IP, coupled with MediaTek's own new technologies in core, scheduling and other aspects, its original 4 X4 and 4 A720 all-core CPU architecture can achieve a power consumption reduction of more than 50% These rumors do not seem to be groundless, but due to the lack of information currently available, the specific implementation method is unknown.

It is undeniable that MediaTek has firmly held the top position in the global mobile phone chip market, ranking first in 12 quarters. In the past two years, Dimensity's flagship chips have shown amazing strength in the high-end market, making other competitors daunting. Now, the high-profile Dimensity 9300 is about to debut with a new all-large core architecture design, and the news has spread quickly on the Internet, igniting people's expectations for the flagship war at the end of the year. Major manufacturers have also felt the pressure and are ready to come up with "tricks" to inject new vitality into the market. Let's look forward to this wonderful competition and look forward to the infinite possibilities of the future!
