Fast Technology reported on May 17 that according to overseas media reports, Qualcomm rebuilt the finalized Snapdragon 8 Gen4 in order to fight against Apple's A18 Pro, increasing the maximum frequency to 4.26GHz.
It should be noted that Qualcomm does not use the latest generation of ARM v9 architecture, but continues to use the old v8 architecture.
This will limit the performance output and energy efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, and the heat generation will also increase significantly, affecting the overall experience, which is quite a shadow of the Snapdragon 888.
According to the revelations, MediaTek is making steady progress this year, and the Dimensity 9400 will use the Blackhawk Black Hawk architecture built by Arm v9 new-generation IP, which greatly increases the performance of the Cortex-X5 super core, and the energy efficiency performance is also very outstanding.
"Digital Chatting Station" broke the news that the Dimensity 9400 aims to win the performance and energy efficiency of competing products, will use the new generation of TSMC 3nm, and continue to optimize power consumption on the basis of the previous generation.
The CPU part is still an all-large core design scheme, including one X5 super large core, three X4 large cores, and four A720 small cores.
According to previous news, MediaTek has verified internally that the IPC of Dimensity 9400 has been positively recognized, among which the Black Eagle super-large core Cortex-X5 has surpassed A17 Pro in IPC performance, setting a new industry record.
A high IPC value means that the chip has better performance at the same frequency, similar to the large bottom sensor in a mobile phone camera, the larger the bottom, the better the image quality.
With the addition of the BlackHawk architecture, X5 ultra-large core and all-large core architecture, the Dimensity 9400 may become the strongest Android mobile phone chip this year, which is very worth looking forward to.
