MediaTek officially announced the Dimensity 9300+ chipset, an upgrade to their existing Dimensity 9300. This announcement took place at the MediaTek Dimensity Developer Conference (MDDC) 2024.
The Dimensity 9300+ boasts improvements in CPU performance. While it retains the TSMC’s third-generation 4nm process technology from its predecessor, the Dimensity 9300+, the prime core clock speed has been bumped up to 3.4 GHz from 3.25 GHz.
The other cores include 3x performance cores clocked at 2.85 GHz and 4x Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz, staying consistent with the Dimensity 9300.
The Dimensity 9300+ also promises better AI processing capabilities. This is achieved through MediaTek’s new NeuroPilot Speculative Decode Acceleration technology, which is claimed to deliver up to a 10% performance boost.
The APU 790 AI engine is another improvement, offering support for Large Language Models (LLMs) with a capacity of up to 33B parameters and enabling efficient LLM execution.
Gamers can expect advancements in the graphics department as well. The Dimensity 9300+ integrates a 12-core Arm Immortalis-G720 GPU with a 2nd generation hardware ray tracing engine. This should translate to enhanced gaming experiences.
MediaTek’s HyperEngine technologies are also included, aiming to optimize power efficiency and network performance while users game.
Key specs of MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset:
- CPU: 1 x ARM Cortex-X4 core up to 3.4GHz + 3 x ARM Cortex-X4 cores up to 2.85GHz + 4 x Cortex-A720 cores at up to 2.0GHz
