Abstract
- MediaTek’s new Dimensity 7400 and 7400x processors are a minor improve from final 12 months’s fashions.
- The chips function barely quicker efficiency cores and a touch improved NPU.
- The brand new processors look like a rebranding of current {hardware}, providing no main developments.
Qualcomm and MediaTek are neck and neck as the largest SoC outfitters for the greatest Android telephones in the present day, rivaled generally by Samsung’s Exynos vary. On this battle of one-upmanship, MediaTek simply introduced a brand new pair of processors designed to energy the subsequent crop of mid-range Android units launching later this 12 months. Nonetheless, it does not appear to be rather more than a rebranding of current {hardware}.

MediaTek simply pulled the wraps off this 12 months’s mid-range processors, incrementally numbered as Dimensity 7400 and 7400X since they succeeded the 7300 sequence (through SamMobile). Each chips are constructed on the 4nm course of node perfected by TSMC, in octa-core configurations. The 7400 packs 4 ARM Cortex-A78 efficiency cores at 2.6GHz and 4 Cortex-A55 cores at a slower 2GHz for effectivity. Graphics duties are dealt with by a Mali-G615 MC2 chip on each new releases with assist for LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 reminiscence and UFS3.1 storage. The GPU drives a WFHD+ show at as much as 120Hz or a FHD+ at 144Hz.
Each the chips additionally share assist for as much as 3.27Gbps downlink by 5G, provider aggregation, and Wi-Fi 6E. Bluetooth model 5.4 can be supported together with NPU 655 for onboard AI process dealing with. MediaTek has supplied the Imagiq 950 Picture sign processor (ISP) on the Dimensity 7400 and 7400X, supporting 200MP sensors and as much as 4K recording at 30fps with EIS in HDR. Help for Google’s Extremely HDR recording is offered too.
No main upgrades from final 12 months
That is the Dimensity 7300 with a brand new model quantity
When you really feel you might have seen the identical specs on a boatload of MediaTek-powered units all by 2023, you are not mistaken. It seems the corporate has determined to play it secure and provides the identical chip a brand new badge, so shoppers nonetheless imagine they’re getting the most recent {hardware}.
We nonetheless have not seen a tool hit retailer cabinets with the brand new silicon, so there could possibly be perceptible enhancements, however on paper, the efficiency cores this 12 months are clocked 0.1GHz quicker than final 12 months, and the NPU 655 is supposedly 15% higher than the NPU on the Dimensity 7300 and 7300X.
Telephones powered by the brand new MediaTek Dimensity 7400 and 7400X will hit retailer cabinets within the first quarter of this 12 months, however we would not count on them to shake up the market, packing final 12 months’s processing horsepower.
