It has been a few months since the release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 and Dimensity 9300, and according to Qualcomm and MediaTek's flagship chip iteration plan, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 and Dimensity 9400 will not be released until the second half of the year, but at present, part of the information about these two flagship U has been exposed.
According to the blogger "Digital Chat Station", MediaTek will launch a new generation of flagship mobile platform Dimensity 9400 later this year, which will use Arm's latest research and development CPU architecture, codenamed "BlackHawk" (Black Hawk), which is already in internal testing, and the progress is very good.
Judging from the blogger's exposure,"BlackHawk" architecture belongs to the flagship level,It is expected to be named Cortex-X5 when it is commercialized in the second half of the year,With Dimensity 9400's all-large core CPU base,Internally verified IPC performance Arm X5 surpasses AppleA17 Pro,It is ahead of Qualcomm's self-developed Nuvia。 If nothing else, the vivo X200 series is expected to debut the Dimensity 9400, which is expected to be released in October.
IPC performance refers to the intuitive data of performance improvement for every 1GHz increase, which can be understood as the higher the IPC and the stronger the performance at the same CPU frequency. For example, the Kirin 9010 on the Huawei Pura70 series, the IPC performance has skyrocketed by about 21.88% compared with the Kirin 9000S, and it is said that it will continue to beat Apple, Qualcomm MediaTek!
It is worth mentioning that last year's Dimensity 9300 created the era of flagship chips with all large cores, and this year's Dimensity 9400 will continue this line of thinking, but with the blessing of the second-generation 3nm process and the new X5 super-core double buff, the performance will presumably have a more explosive performance.
However, before that, MediaTek will also have a half-generation updated Dimensity 9300+, with an Antutu running score of 2.3 million+, which will be released by vivo X100S next month.
