MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Specifications Shared Ahead Of Official Launch; 3.25GHz Highest Clock Speed With 12-Core GPU Mentioned

wccftech.com:

MediaTek is reported to officially announce its Dimensity 9300 later this month, but before it provides the lengthy specifications of its flagship SoC, one tipster has provided all those details you are looking for. The CPU cluster is said to be different than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s, suggesting that both chipsets may not perform at the same level.

Like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Digital Chat Station on Weibo has mentioned that the Dimensity 9300 will have a core with a maximum clock speed of 3.25GHz. However, the entire cluster is different than what we have seen in past launches, with MediaTek said to be adopting not one but a total of four Cortex-X4 cores. Of course, to prevent power consumption from hitting the roof, only one of them is probably clocked at 3.25GHz, while the remaining three are said to be operating at an undisclosed frequency.

The remaining four are Cortex-A720 cores, making it a ‘1 + 3 + 4’ cluster. Interestingly enough, we have noticed that the Dimensity 9300 will not house any low-power Cortex-A520 cores, which can only mean that its power consumption will be higher than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is said to feature those efficiency cores. As for the GPU, the tipster mentions that the Mali Immortalis G720 will have 12 cores but failed to discuss any performance numbers in this category.

He does, however, state that this configuration will outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both CPU and GPU tasks, but without any power consumption figures, we cannot determine how well the SoC will perform under sustained workloads. Assuming that the Dimensity 9300 is unable to control its temperatures and ends up throttling when running intensive CPU and GPU tests, its performance stability will be lower than that
