GPU is genuinely impressive.
Someone said Geekerwan will release the video of Dimensity 9400 today, so we could see a comparison. Till then, these are the numbers for Apple E-cores;View attachment 108999
Spec2006 int for new 3nm A720, @FlameTail how does it compare to Apple E core?
It is interesting to see how much space the GPU takes up on the chip and how many ALUs it has.GPU is genuinely impressive.
35% faster at the same peak power.
I thought power consumption will increase because it has the same core count as D9300, but the frequency was increased from 1300 MHz to 1600 MHz.

They added way more L2 and L3 cache, this is interesting.Interestingly, Mediatek has only upgraded the prime core in Dimensity 9400. The other cores are same as Dimensity 9300.

This is a rare situation. No SoC vendor is quick to using ARM's new Cortex A725 core.
Mediatek held off from upgrading to A725 in the Dimensity 9400.
Tensor G4 uses last year's cores anyway (X4/A720/A520). Tensor G5 might use A725, but that's not releasing until August/September of 2025.
Qualcomm has opted to use their Oryon cores in the soon to be revealed 8 Gen 4, so they are not implementing any of ARM'S new cores, including A725.
Samsung's Exynos 2500 might be using A725, but the rumour is that it's delayed. It won't be featured in the Galaxy S25 series which comes in early 2025, but only in the next Galaxy Z Flip/Z Fold, which is 2025H2.
Hauwei's recent Kirin SoCs have been using their custom Taishan cores, in place of Cortex X/Cortex A7xx. They only use Cortex A5xx as their little core.
I am taking this. Comparing to D8300, it goes 1400 / 4293.Mediatek Chromebook chip appears in Geekbench6;
MediaTek’s new MT8196 Chromebook SOC gets benchmarked, and it’s fast
While we're right on the cusp of finding out just how good MediaTek's new Kompanio 838 (internally known as the MT8188) will be in the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet we expect at Google's Chromebook Showcase next week, there are other MediaTek chips in development as well. One of these is the...chromeunboxed.com
1800 Single Core/4800 Multi Core
I am not really familiar with the world of Chromebooks, but this seems like pretty weak performance for what ChromeUnboxed calls the "Most powerful Mediatek Chromebook chip ever".
1x 3.35 GHz – Cortex-A715
3x 3.2 GHz – Cortex-A715
4x 2.2 GHz – Cortex-A510
Reason: the single core is too high for any A7XX cores.1x 2.7 Ghz - Cortex X4
7x 2.1 Ghz - Cortex A720
All with double cache in each core. And no A5xx core and might go on tier of SD 8 Gen 2 and even reach CPU wise on tier of SD8 Gen 3.1x 3.0 Ghz - Cortex X4
3x 2.5 Ghz - Cortex A720
4x 2.0 Ghz - Cortex A720
No CPU released by Arm has SME, so I wonder how Mediatek could have added SME.Mediatek again ignores key ARMv9.X features like SME.
Oh yes. It's strange.No CPU released by Arm has SME, so I wonder how Mediatek could have added SME.
Stock ARM cores have had better IPC than x86 peers for many recent years. The only thing holding back the performance is the lower clock speed.I am just stunned that the arm generic cores have way higher IPC than Zen 5 or Arrow Lake/Lunar Lake.
Two cores.By the time we have Zen 6 or Nova Lake in 2026 time frame, ARM will have another core out as well.
Truly bizarre decision.Also Samsung was stupid to refresh their tablets with D9300+ when D9400 was just around the corner. Just like most of their recent decisions, they have cut corners.
Tell me how it is bizarre. Save money buying now discounted year old SoCs and charge the same rate to customers. It's business. The SoC only needs to be good enough and D9300 is.Truly bizarre decision
Which makes it even more confusing as to why the A725 wasn’t used. They could’ve benefited from the additional performance or power reduction at iso perf.View attachment 108996
A18 barely better, A720 is carrying X925 so hard.
There is a rumor that the Samsung Tab seems to be delayed, making the launch frame time logic with the D9300.I am just stunned that the arm generic cores have way higher IPC than Zen 5 or Arrow Lake/Lunar Lake. By the time we have Zen 6 or Nova Lake in 2026 time frame, ARM will have another core out as well. We will see more of Arm based SOC beyond just mobile phone/tablets.
Also Samsung was stupid to refresh their tablets with D9300+ when D9400 was just around the corner. Just like most of their recent decisions, they have cut corners.
What if A725 don't scale well under 1W?Which makes it even more confusing as to why the A725 wasn’t used. They could’ve benefited from the additional performance or power reduction at iso perf.
