MediaTek Dimensity 8400 SoC Launched DAE MAGT Technology 41 Percent More Multi Core Performance

MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity 8400 SoC, upgrading last year’s Dimensity 8300. It features an all-big core design for premium smartphones and features Dimensity Agentic AI Engine (DAE) for advanced AI applications. Running on an eight-core Arm Cortex-A725 processor clocked at up to 3.25GHz, the chipset boasts 41% better multi-core performance and 44% lower peak power usage compared to its previous version. The Arm Mali-G720 GPU also claims to deliver 24% more performance and 42% more efficiency, equipped with MediaTek’s Frame Rate Converter and Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0. Additionally, the MediaTek NPU 880 supports global AI models, while the Imagiq 1080 ISP ensures better HDR and high-resolution imaging.

MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset has been introduced, which will power premium models in the future. It is the successor to the Dimensity 8300 SoC. MediaTek has claimed that the new SoC will provide better performance and efficiency than the previous version and is also equipped with DAE for AI applications. It includes a powerful NPU for Gen-AI tasks. MediaTek says that the Dimensity 8400 SoC has an eight-core Arm Cortex-A725 processor clocked at 3.25GHz.

Via press release, the company revealed that the new SoC promises 41% higher multi-core performance compared to the Dimensity 8300. It promises a 44% reduction in peak power usage compared to its previous model. The paired Mali-G720 GPU promises 24% higher peak performance and 42% higher energy efficiency compared to the Dimensity 8300. The GPU works in conjunction with MediaTek Frame Rate Converter (MFRC) to optimize game and app performance in real-time for smooth gameplay and MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology (MAGT) 3.0.

The MediaTek Imagiq 1080 ISP leverages QPD remosaic technology to capture more light, focus faster and more accurately, and produce higher-resolution images. The NPU 880 of the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset supports all major LLM/SLM/LMMs worldwide. In this, the 5G-A modem claims performance up to 3CC-CA and 5.17Gbps.
