The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset is attracting a lot of attention due to its unusual configuration. Tipster Digital Chat Station recently posted the rumored specs on Chinese social media site Weibo and the silicon has the potential to become a powerhouse. According to the post, the chip will include 1 Cortex-X4 Prime CPU core, 3 Cortex-X4 Prime CPU cores, and 4 Cortex-A720 Performance CPU cores. There are no proficiency cores. The GPU is Arm’s Immortalis G720 MC12.
While specific benchmark scores for the chip have not yet been made public, Digital Chat Station says that on AnTuTu version 10, the Dimensity 9300 beat the CPU and GPU scores of the soon-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The Dimensity 9300 is built on TSMC’s N4P process node which is actually an optimized 5nm process. TSMC says the N4P offers an 11% performance boost compared to the original N5 5nm process.

The Dimensity 9300 SoC will have no efficiency CPU cores
The N4p node on which the Dimensity 9300 is built brings a 22% increase in power efficiency, a 6% increase in transistor density and a 6.6% performance increase compared to N4, which is the first 4nm process used by the foundry. The Dimensity 9300 chipset is expected to deliver a 15% performance boost compared to its predecessor, the Dimensity 9200, as well as a 40% reduction in power consumption.
The Dimensity 9300 is expected to debut in the Vivo X100 series, which is expected to be released next month. Consider how competitive the application processor market will be by the first quarter of 2024. We’ve already seen the only 3nm smartphone chipset ever produced, the A17 Pro, released as the chip powers the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Dimensity 9300 SoC should power the Vivo X100 series before the completion of 2023.
And till the first quarter of next year Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 As for the Galaxy and the Exynos 2400 (yes, that chip is in the conversation) will power some units belonging to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 flagship line. Talking about Exynos 2400 SoC, it is unique in itself with its deca-core configuration.
As long as there are no overheating issues on any of these chipsets, phone enthusiasts will be happy. The first fear of overheating turned out to be a false alarm. iPhone 15 Pro The line turned out to be a software issue unrelated to the A17 Bionic. MediaTek told us last month that reports of the Dimensity 9300 overheating are not true, and that there are fears about the Exynos 2400 due to Samsung’s past history.
