MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Goes Official with Only Performance Cores, On-Board Generative AI, and More

wccftech.com:

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 is finally here, and it is ready to take the fight to the likes of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400. The new chipset brings a number of changes, including four big Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A74 cores. MediaTek also promises Stable Defusion generation of under one second--in addition to that, the new chipset also adds support for the latest LLMs of up to 33 billion parameters, making it one of the best chipsets to have AI support.

Now, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 does not have any efficiency cores. However, the company is not fussing over the chipset being inefficient. For starters, only one of the four Cortex-X4 cores is clocked higher than 3.25GHz, and the remaining three are clocked at 2.85GHz. All of the four Cortex-A720 cores are clocked at 2GHz, and this should deliver better efficiency overall.

Here is a full spec sheet comparing the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 to its predecessor.

MediaTek also claims that the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 offers up to 33% better efficiency while performing the same as the predecessor, the Dimensity 9200. At the same time, it offers 40% improved peak performance. Sadly, the company did not share the power draw at peak performance, but I would not be too surprised if the chip draws a good amount of power.

With the MediaTek Dimensity 9300, users are also going to see a computing concept known as "race to idle," where the chipset will perform at peak speed for a little while than performing at a lower speed for a longer while. With this concept coming to the new chip, we will see much better performance in tasks that do not require a lot of power to begin with because the chipset will be performing at peak speed to handle them. Now, the race to idle concept can
