Qualcomm recently introduced the highly anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform with over 30% performance improvements. Now, MediaTek is all set to launch its direct rival at an event scheduled for November. Here are the details.
MediaTek Dimensity 9300 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3| Performance benchmarking comparison
MediaTek has announced via a recent Weibo post that it will introduce its next-generation flagship chipset on November 6 in China. This will happen at 19:00 Chinese time (16:30 IST) and will most likely be live streamed as well. The post doesn't mention the chipset's name but it's pretty obvious that it's the Dimensity 9300.
The chipset will succeed the Dimensity 9200 SoC from last year and is expected to introduce a number of upgrades. A previous leak suggested that the chipset will have a maximum clock speed of 3.5GHz, which is higher than the 3.3GHz clock speed of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. MediaTek's offering is expected to include a '1+3+4' CPU structure with an ARM Cortex X4 Prime core. The composition is said to have three ARM Cortex X4 cores and four ARM Cortex A720 cores.
To recall, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 comes with a '1+(3+2)+2' structure with one Cortex-X4 prime core, three Cortex-A720 cores, two Cortex-A720 cores and finally two Cortex- A520 cores. Compared to Snapdragon Gen 3, the Dimensity 9300 can get more X4 cores, but this can also result in easy throttling. There's no word on the chipset's thermal management, camera capabilities, and more. But we expect the addition of the Immortalis G720 MC12 GPU. Plus, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset could also be based on the 4nm process, much like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
