MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Benchmark Surfaces on Geekbench AI

A new generation of flagship chips is starting to surface. After Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 CPU performance results were leaked, it is now time for MediaTek Dimensity 9400 to also appear on Geekbench but this time in an AI benchmark rather than the usual tradition of a CPU test.

The Dimensity 9400 posted scores of 1,501 in Single Precision, 1,906 in Half Precision, and 1,793 in Quantized tasks on the AI benchmark. But in the case of the Geekbench AI benchmark, there is not enough comparative data to see how it compares with its rivals like Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Leaks About the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Benchmark

One key takeaway from this benchmark is that it confirms the MediaTek Dimensity 9400’s octa-core CPU configuration. One of the peculiar new features was a three-cluster design, a Cortex-X5 core was clocked at max 3.63 GHz and handled high-performance tasks, three Cortex-X4 cores were set at 2.80 GHz to allocate additional power, and four Cortex-A725 cores were set on 2.10 GHz destined for everyday processes.

At first, it might seem that Dimensity 9400’s peak of 3.63 GHz constitutes a less promising figure compared to the rumored 4.32 GHz of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Apple’s A18 series, which is said to elevate its performance to 4.04 GHz. However, previous leaks have suggested that the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 could offer a 30% improvement in overall performance, a 35% boost in energy efficiency, and up to 40% enhanced AI performance.

Despite the lower clock speed, the Dimensity 9400’s performance gains could still make it a strong competitor to Qualcomm and Apple’s latest chips. The first device expected to feature the Dimensity 9400 is the Vivo X200 series, with a launch rumored for early October. Following that, the Oppo Find X8 series is also expected to adopt the same chipset, further pushing the competition in the flagship smartphone space.
