Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The ARM Immortalis-G925 GPU in the Dimensity 9400 delivers a major performance uplift, with even MediaTek providing a comparison, showing that its latest chipset is up to 19 percent faster than the A18 Pro. So, how well does this translate into a gaming test and, more specifically, Genshin Impact? Well, it turns out that both SoCs perform incredibly well, with the Dimensity 9400 showcasing better temperatures when running in the Vivo X200 Pro, likely thanks to the inclusion of a vapor chamber. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has a 43 percent higher peak power consumption than Dimensity 9400; improved efficiency is […]
The newly announced Dimensity 9400 is the first Android smartphone SoC to be mass produced on TSMC’s latest 3nm ‘N3E’ process, putting it on par with Apple’s A18 Pro in terms of lithography, but there are a ton of differences compared to last year’s Dimensity 9300. With the CPU cluster and GPU getting notable upgrades, MediaTek took the opportunity to compare its latest release with the A18 Pro, showcasing how fast it is in two specific benchmarks that stress the chipset’s two areas. The biggest performance difference is seen in the GPU side of things, where the Dimensity 9400’s Immortalis-G925 beats […]
MediaTek officially announced the Dimensity 9400 last week, which serves as the direct successor to the Dimensity 9300. The new SoC offers 12MB of L3 cache, making it 50 percent higher than what its predecessor was treated to, but in addition to sporting a new CPU cluster, we also get a closer look at how each core now features a massive cache upgrade, while also explaining how this will benefit the Dimensity 9400 when it is found in a multitude of flagship smartphones next year. Cache size has been doubled across the board for each of the Dimensity 9400 cores, leading […]
The Galaxy S25 series launch, which is slated to happen early next year, is bombarded with a slew of rumors concerning its internal specifications. Samsung was previously reported to unveil the new lineup exclusively with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 as the company failed to improve its 3nm GAA yields, which meant that it was not financially viable to commence the Exynos 2500’s mass production. However, the Korean giant was said to have experienced a sliver of hope where it would reduce its chipset expenditure massively by using the newly announced Dimensity 9400 in the base model. Sadly, that might not be […]
MediaTek has gone ahead and officially announced its first second-generation 3nm chipset, the Dimensity 9400. Mass produced on the same cutting-edge architecture from TSMC that introduced Apple’s M4, A18 and A18 Pro, the new SoC delivers significant improvements over its direct predecessor, the Dimensity 9300, in performance, efficiency and generative AI capabilities. Here, we go through all the features and specifications of the latest release. MediaTek claims that the Dimensity 9400 is up to an impressive 40 percent more efficient than the Dimensity 9300, with the supported LPDDR5X memory reaching a new high in terms of bandwidth Like last year’s […]
A rumor has been floating around for a while that Samsung will employ MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 in one of its Galaxy S25 models as it aims to maintain a dual-chipset launch strategy to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm and decrease its chipset expenditure for the year. While neither Samsung nor MediaTek have confirmed the veracity of this claim, Google might have accidentally spilled the beans on how their partnership may blossom in the future. Talking about the advancements made in Google’s AlphaChip division, the company might have revealed the use of the Dimensity 9400 in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series For […]
A couple of days remain before the Dimensity 9400 is officially announced, making it the first time that MediaTek will unveil a 3nm chipset. There are whispers doing the rounds earlier, claiming that the SoC’s unit price had increased by 20 percent, which would likely force phone manufacturers to adjust what they typically charge for their flagships. Fortunately, we might be in for a pleasant surprise because the first lineup’s starting price for the base model is revealed to be just $570, making it highly competitive. Then again, this is the lowest bracket, and when you attempt to get a […]
MediaTek is expected to officially announce the Dimensity 9400 on October 9, so just a couple of days remain for the grand unveiling. While we have witnessed the chipset’s capabilities in the form of benchmark leaks, the CPU cluster and GPU details still eluded us until today, when a tipster provided a decent amount of information. Naturally, there will be some differences between the upcoming SoC and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, so let us get right into it. Maximum CPU clock speed of Dimensity 9400 is said to operate at 3.626GHz, making it lower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen […]
Samsung is expected to launch its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 series early next year and the devices are rumored to bring some notable changes to the lineup. Externally, we can expect rounded edges from the back, and possibly a slightly bigger display but internally, the devices will get a major power boost thanks to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip. A tipster claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip but the smaller S25 base variant is expected to port over to a Dimensity 9400 chip. Samsung's Base Galaxy S25 to […]
The recent price estimate from a tipster suggested that the upcoming Dimensity 9400 would cost $155 per unit, undercutting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 while also being cheaper than Qualcomm’s current-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is rumored to be priced at $200. The latest update for these figures is that MediaTek’s upcoming 3nm SoC will be 20 percent cheaper than its imminent rival, but that means it will be almost as expensive as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The new report does not explicitly mention the Dimensity 9400’s price, but previous rumors have suggested that the Snapdragon 8 Gen […]
TSMC’s advanced manufacturing processes is creating steep bills for its partners, which perfectly explains why Apple was the only one to introduce its A17 Pro and M3 on the 3nm ‘N3B’ node last year. The second-generation 3nm process, which is also known as ‘N3E,’ does not hold back on footing a large sum for companies like Qualcomm and MediaTek, but at least with its improved yields paired with performance and efficiency upgrades, companies would be more encouraged to transition to the cutting-edge technology. The first Android chipsets mass produced on this lithography will be the Dimensity 9400 and Snapdragon 8 […]
MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9400 in October, with the upcoming flagship SoC believed to share various attributes of the Dimensity 9300, such as featuring just performance cores and no efficiency cores. The new silicon is also said to be the first from the company to be mass produced on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, improving its efficiency to the point where the use of performance-only cores will not appear as a drawback. One area where the SoC has contributed immensely is in AnTuTu, with a new benchmarking leak showing that it has become the first silicon to cross […]
