MediaTek’s upcoming flagship SoC, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300, has been notably left off of benchmarking websites like Geekbench. Its all-P-core configuration was said to have poor thermal performance up until this point. The chipset is currently available on Geekbench and AnTuTu.
MediaTek Dimensity 9300 details
The Dimensity 9300 receives a 2,055,084 point score on AnTuTu (CPU: 485,064, GPU: 899,463, MEM: 357,691, UI/UX: 312,866). Over the Dimensity 9200+ (1,368,597) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, this offers a staggering 50% performance improvement.
The Dimensity 9300 score, however, has reportedly been higher, according to Digital Chat Station on Weibo. An previous report claimed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 also achieves a score of 2 million on AnTuTu, suggesting that the two CPUs might compete for real-world performance.
It would seem that the Dinemsity 9300 should dominate its rivals given that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Exynos 2400 will only have one Cortex-X4 core each (that’s right, three less). The Cortex-X4 will be more difficult to keep cool, therefore the Dimensity 9300 could theoretically throttle more easily to control its thermals. However, things are not that straightforward.
The clocks on the Dimensity 9300 appear to have been lowered by MediaTek. The 3x Cortex-X4 cluster runs at 2.85 GHz (as opposed to the 3 GHz predicted earlier), while the primary Cortex-X4 core runs at 3.25 GHz. The Cortex-A720 cluster is clocked at 3.0 GHz, as a last point. The clocks of the Arm Immortalis G720 GPU are likewise unknown.
