With the blessing of Dimensity 9300, the strength of vivo's flagship breaks through, who can shake it?
In April, the performance ranking of Android flagship mobile phones was newly released, and vivo made the list strongly with the flagship X100 series, especially the X100 Pro equipped with the Dimensity 9300 chip, which performed well and was eye-catching. This top-of-the-line chip independently developed by MediaTek has a new architecture design that greatly improves performance and makes breakthroughs in power consumption control, helping vivo's flagship products achieve a breakthrough in performance.
Industry insiders said that the Dimensity 9300 can be described as a major innovation in MediaTek chips. It adopts a 4+4 all-large core architecture design, abandoning the traditional three-level core layout, and the CPU multi-core performance has been greatly improved. According to the test data, the Dimensity 9300 scored a whopping 7368 points in the GeekBench 5 multi-core test, even surpassing the Apple A17 Bionic processor.
In addition to the CPU, the Dimensity 9300's GPU performance is also outstanding. It uses the ARM public GPU, which has increased the number of cores to 10 cores compared to the previous generation, and the main frequency has also been increased to 1.3GHz. In the 3DMark wildlife test, the Dimensity 9300 scored 5760 points, which is not only significantly ahead of the previous generation, but also surpasses Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen3.
The Dimensity 9300 is still excellent in power consumption control for such excellent performance. In CPU stress tests, its overall power consumption level is lower than that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3; In the GPU test, despite the leading performance, the power consumption at low loads is almost the same as that of the opponent's hand, and the power advantage is even more pronounced in high load scenarios.
The ability of mobile phone manufacturers to adjust the software and hardware of the chip also directly affects the final user experience. It is understood that vivo has done a lot of in-depth optimization work for the X100 series and fully explored the performance potential of the Dimensity 9300. Actual tests show that the X100 Pro can stably run at a high level of image quality close to 60 frames per second in the popular game "Genshin Impact", while the heating is well controlled, and the temperature is always maintained within 36°C.
In addition to the gaming experience, the performance in terms of graphics is also worth paying attention to. The X100 Pro is equipped with a ZEISS APO super telephoto lens and a built-in V2 image chip developed by vivo, which is expected to bring users excellent photo results. The X100 series will also be pre-installed with vivo's own office suite, which combined with AI capabilities, will greatly improve office efficiency.
The emergence of Dimensity 9300 has undoubtedly injected a boost into vivo's flagship products, greatly improving its strength in the Android camp. In the future, it is worth continuing to pay attention to whether vivo can shake the status of old rivals such as Xiaomi and OPPO with this new momentum. In order to cope with the challenges of vivo, other mobile phone manufacturers are also looking forward to the next step.
The strong performance of the Dimensity 9300 chip is naturally inseparable from MediaTek's innovative breakthroughs in chip design. As the world's largest mobile chip supplier, MediaTek has been trying to catch up with Qualcomm for many years, and the Dimensity 9300 may be a key step for them to finally take.
It is not difficult to find that the Dimensity 9300 has completely abandoned the traditional "large and small core" layout in terms of architectural design, and instead adopted a 4+4 all-large core design. This layout not only improves the multi-core performance, but also makes a significant improvement in the single-core performance of the chip.
The Dimensity 9300 also uses the ARMv9 instruction set for the first time, which improves performance by 30% compared to the ARMv8 instruction set. MediaTek has also made special optimizations for AI computing, and the theoretical computing power of the new six-core NPU is as high as 35TOPS, which is significantly ahead of the previous generation.
Another big challenge in chip design is power control. It is understood that the Dimensity 9300 uses TSMC's 4nm process process, and the transistor density is further improved, which is conducive to reducing power consumption. MediaTek has also carried out in-depth optimization at multiple levels such as architecture, process, and algorithms, so as to achieve excellent power consumption performance while improving performance.
Although the Dimensity 9300 has made great strides, the gap with Qualcomm still exists. As the industry leader, Qualcomm is far ahead in terms of R&D investment and technical reserves. Its latest generation flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, still leads the Dimensity 9300 in single-core performance and GPU performance.
For vivo, choosing the Dimensity 9300 is undoubtedly a strategic layout. On the one hand, this is conducive to vivo getting rid of its dependence on Qualcomm chips and reducing costs; On the other hand, the strong strength of the Dimensity 9300 has also allowed vivo's flagship model to achieve a new breakthrough in performance, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the product.
With vivo's flagship products achieving a performance breakthrough with the Dimensity 9300 chip, the pattern of the Android camp will also face certain adjustments.
In the past few years, the Android flagship market has been dominated by three manufacturers: Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo. Xiaomi has long occupied the sales championship with its cost-effective advantage; OPPO has made great achievements in imaging and design; Vivo's products have always been considered mediocre and mediocre, lacking outstanding highlights.
