MediaTek has officially unveiled its latest offering, the Dimensity 9400+, a smartphone chip that provides a slight uptick in performance compared to its predecessor, the Dimensity 9400. This new SoC retains many features from the original but includes a minor enhancement that could benefit device manufacturers and users alike.
The Dimensity 9400+ features a single ARM Cortex-X925 prime core, now clocked at up to 3.73 GHz, compared to the previous 3.63 GHz made available in the initial version. This boost signals MediaTek's intent to deliver more powerful yet efficient solutions in the competitive mobile chipset market.
While the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) 890 remains, it now promises a 20% increase in agentic AI performance thanks to the introduction of Speculative Decoding+. This feature aims to assist developers in transforming traditional AI applications into more advanced agentic AI applications, a trend that aligns with the growing focus on AI technologies in 2025.
In terms of specifications, the Dimensity 9400+ continues to offer three Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores, alongside support for LPDDR5X RAM with a maximum speed of 10,667 Mbps. It also includes support for UFS 4 storage, Sub6 5G connectivity, and multiple navigation systems such as GPS, BeiDou, Glonass, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC.
Additionally, the chip supports Wi-Fi 7 with peak data rates of 7.3 Gbps, Bluetooth 6.0 with 12 Mbps maximum data rates, and camera capabilities that allow for a maximum sensor resolution of 320 MP. It can record 8K video at 60 fps and supports display resolutions up to WQHD+ at a refresh rate of 180 Hz. The Immortalis-G925MC12 GPU remains unchanged from the 9400.
Devices such as the Oppo Find X8s and Find X8s+ are set to feature the Dimensity 9400+, as will the highly anticipated vivo X200s.
