It is confirmed that mass production will be in the fourth quarter of this year and will be produced using TSMC's 3nm process.MediaTek's flagship processor Dimensity 9400, there are currently reports that the actual price will be increased, which means that the price of flagship phones using this processor will also increase.
However, the specific price will basically vary depending on the product sales strategy and cost control practices of different companies. However, the factors behind the price increase of MediaTek's new processors may be related to TSMC's tight production capacity and the fact that many companies are competing for production capacity orders.
However, according to relevant news, even if the price of MediaTek's flagship processor is increased, the overall price will still be higher than Qualcomm's flagship processor, which will also be released in the second half of the year.Snapdragon 8 Gen4At the same time, it is also rumored that the specific specifications will be announced in October, and the first wave of application brandsIn addition to vivo's upcoming flagship phone X200 series, it also includes OPPO's upcoming flagship phone Find X8 series..
Compared to the Dimensity 9300 processor launched last year, MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9400 is expected to continue the all-large core design, consisting of the Arm Cortex-A925 and Cortex-A825 CPUs respectively. TSMC's 3nm process technology will reduce overall power loss, while the number of transistors will increase to 300 billion, and the occupied area will also increase to 150mm.2The new NPU design will improve artificial intelligence computing performance, and the enlarged cache memory will also improve execution efficiency.
Qualcomm will design its Oryon CPU using a fully proprietary architecture to improve overall computing performance. However, due to the current patent licensing dispute between Qualcomm and Arm, the Oryon CPU for mobile processors will likely remain based on the Armv8 instruction set architecture. Compared to MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9 processor, which will incorporate the Armv9400 instruction set architecture, it will likely depend on whether Qualcomm's proprietary architecture can achieve higher processor performance.
