MediaTek has just announced the Dimensity 7400 chipset, designed to improve gaming performance, connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI) in the affordable smartphone segment. Starting with the Dimensity 7400 and Dimensity 7400X, both of these processor chips are designed to offer cutting-edge gaming and camera technology. However, the Dimensity 7400X chip is more specialized for clamshell phones with dual displays.
Both are built on TSMC's 4nm technology with an octa-core CPU configuration that combines 4 x Arm Cortex-A78 operating at up to 2.6GHz and 4 x Arm Cortex-A55 at up to 2.0GHz, and is equipped with an Arm Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. According to MediaTek, this chip uses only 14% to 36% of the power while playing games compared to other competitors.
It also supports MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0 (MAGT) 3.0 for better graphics performance, along with AI optimizer that adjusts game settings based on the current state of the device. At the same time, it integrates NPU 655 with a 15% increase in power compared to Dimensity 7300.
Through the Imagiq 950 ISP chip, Dimensity 7400 and 7400X can promise good image performance even in low light. In addition, it supports advanced AI camera technology and Google Ultra HDR for higher dynamic range, brighter colors, and better contrast, both for photos and videos.
This chip is also equipped with a 5G R16 Modem (3CC-CA) and support for tri-band WiFi 6E for stable connections. In addition, this chip supports FHD+ display at a refresh rate of 144Hz, LPDDR5 memory, UFS3.1-based storage, and Bluetooth 5.4 as a complement.
The first smartphones powered by the Dimensity 7400 and 7400X chips will be available in the first quarter of 2025.
