MediaTek has just dropped its latest powerhouse, the Dimensity 9400e, a flagship-tier chipset poised to redefine mobile experiences. This new silicon joins MediaTek’s premium lineup, promising device manufacturers a broader palette of features and functionalities, ultimately translating to exceptional performance and efficiency for users across AI, connectivity, imaging, and gaming.

Dr. Yenchi Lee, General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit, emphasised the company’s strategy: “With the launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e, we are expanding our family of leading mobile platforms to ensure both device makers and users can select from a larger range of flagship experiences than ever before. We remain committed to exceeding expectations in top-tier performance, energy efficiency, and AI capabilities by combining powerful hardware with advanced MediaTek-driven technologies.”

Built on TSMC’s cutting-edge third-generation 4nm process, the Dimensity 9400e boasts an all “Big Core” CPU architecture. This formidable setup includes four Cortex-X4 super cores clocked at up to 3.4GHz and four Cortex-A720 big cores running at 2.0GHz. This robust design ensures effortless handling of demanding multitasking scenarios and complex applications while maintaining impressive power efficiency.

For graphics-intensive tasks and mobile gaming, the chipset integrates a flagship 12-core Immortalis-G720 GPU. This powerhouse delivers exceptional graphics rendering capabilities, catering to the needs of smartphone enthusiasts and hardcore gamers alike. Furthermore, the inclusion of hardware-level mobile ray tracing technology promises stunning visuals and console-level global illumination effects, significantly elevating gaming immersion on mobile.

Gamers, take note! The Dimensity 9400e incorporates MediaTek HyperEngine technology to deliver smooth, long-lasting, and highly responsive gaming experiences. This includes support for MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology (MAGT 2.0), which intelligently manages performance between the chipset and games in real-time, resulting in excellent high-frame-rate stability and reduced power consumption. Adding to this, MediaTek Frame Rate Converter (MFRC 2.0+) can further slash power consumption by up to a remarkable 40% when enabled.

The Dimensity 9400e also doubles down on Artificial Intelligence with the latest MediaTek NeuroPilot SDK. This empowers generative AI applications and services to deliver fast, personalised, and secure user experiences. The chipset features enhanced inference decoding technology (SpD+), significantly accelerating the computational efficiency of large language models. Notably, it supports a wide range of leading large and small language models, enabling on-device operation of models like DeepSeek-R1-Distill (Qwen1.5B/Llama7B/Llama8B), as well as Gemini Nano with Multimodality, LLaVA-1.5 7B, and more.

Photography and videography enthusiasts will appreciate the Dimensity 9400e’s flagship 18-bit RAW ISP. This powerful image signal processor supports AI semantic segmentation video engines capable of processing up to 16 layers of image semantic segmentation. It also features high-dynamic noise reduction for recordings utilising three microphones. By leveraging these advanced image and audio capture technologies, the chipset aims to deliver professional-grade video recording effects directly on smartphones.

Key features packed into the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e:

• Extended Bluetooth range: Up to 5km between phones within line of sight.
• Blazing-fast 5G connectivity: Sub-6GHz four-carrier aggregation (4CC-CA) with theoretical peak download speeds reaching up to 7 Gbps.
• Next-gen Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 7 tri-band concurrency (5 data streams) with theoretical peak transmission speeds of up to 7.3 Gbps.
• Optimised power efficiency: MediaTek 5G UltraSave 3.0 power-saving technology.
• Enhanced flexibility: Multi-mode dual-SIM dual-active functionality.

Get ready to witness the power of the Dimensity 9400e in action soon! The first smartphones powered by this mobile chipset are expected to hit the market this very month.
