MediaTek announced the Dimensity 9300, a SoC that uses powerful ARM cores, but does not contain light and economical cores. However, the company claims that the new SoC is up to 33 percent more energy efficient than its predecessor, the 9200.

the Size 9300 used Two types of Arm Cortex cores, an X4 core and an A720 core. There are four cores of both core types in the SoC and one top-clocked X4 core, Police robot reports. This makes the Dimensity 9300 the first SoC consisting of different types of cores and no lightweight and economical cores. MediaTek claims that these more efficient cores aren’t necessary, because the A720’s cores complete simple tasks faster than more efficient cores, meaning less net power is used. SoC is also faster.

MediaTek claims the SoC is up to 33 percent more efficient compared to the 9200, at a similar performance level. In addition, the maximum power of the SoC is 40 percent higher than the 9200. The Immortalis G720 GPU is also said to be more economical than the GPU in the 9200 series; MediaTek says it’s up to 40 percent more efficient at the same performance level and up to 46 percent more powerful at the same power consumption. The SoC has a “second generation ray tracing engine.”

In addition to the faster CPU and GPU, the Dimensity 9300 has a 790 APU for AI tasks. MediaTekt talks about doubling down integrity And Performance of floating point operator And a 45 percent reduction in energy use. Apu supports local operation of language models such as Meta’s Llama 2, Baichuan 2, and Baidu AI, with up to 33 billion parameters.

The SoC is supposed to debut in phones at the end of this year. MediaTek did not say which phones will have this. The Dimensity 9300 should compete with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
