MediaTek has just launched its latest chipsets, the Dimensity 7400 and Dimensity 7400X, offering exciting advancements for mobile performance. While these two chips share many similarities, the standout difference lies in the 7400X, which introduces support for dual-display foldable devices.
A Power-efficient, High-performance Upgrade
Both the Dimensity 7400 and 7400X are built on TSMC’s advanced 4nm process node, offering 14-36% lower power consumption during gaming compared to their predecessors. This means users can enjoy extended gaming sessions without worrying about draining their battery quickly.
Additionally, these chips feature MediaTek’s NPU 6.0, which provides a significant 15% boost in performance over the previous Dimensity 7300 series, further optimizing the user experience in tasks such as AI processing and gaming.
Similar Performance, Enhanced Features
Under the hood, both the Dimensity 7400 and 7400X are equipped with eight cores: four Cortex-A78 cores clocking up to 2.6GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores reaching up to 2GHz. While the clock speeds are slightly higher than the Dimensity 7300, the difference isn’t huge, as the previous model maxed out at 2.5GHz.
When it comes to graphics, the new chipsets keep the familiar Mali-G615 MC2 GPU and sixth-gen APU 655, offering solid gaming performance without major upgrades in this area. However, what’s new is Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0, which balances performance and battery life during gaming sessions, ensuring a smoother experience even with demanding apps.
Support for Advanced Connectivity and Camera Technology
Both chips also support LPDDR5 or LPDDR4X RAM up to 6GB, and offer storage options ranging from UFS 2.2 to UFS 3.1, ensuring quick access to files and apps. When it comes to photography, the Imagiq 950 ISP offers impressive capabilities, including 12-bit HDR-ISP support and the ability to handle up to 200-megapixel sensors.
To top it off, MediaTek’s Network Observation System (NOS) enhances 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity. This system ensures more accurate and stable connections, improving overall performance, whether you’re browsing, gaming, or streaming.
Dual-Display Support for Foldables
A unique feature of the Dimensity 7400X is its support for dual-display foldable devices, setting it apart from the regular Dimensity 7400. This feature is particularly appealing for users who love the convenience and versatility of foldable smartphones.
Connectivity Upgrades
Both chipsets support 5G with 3CC carrier aggregation, which allows faster, more reliable mobile data speeds. On the connectivity front, they also support Wi-Fi 6 across all three bands (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz), as well as Bluetooth 5.4 for improved wireless communication.
Conclusion
MediaTek’s new Dimensity 7400 and 7400X chipsets are perfect for users looking for a powerful, efficient, and feature-packed mobile experience. Whether you’re a gamer, a photography enthusiast, or someone who enjoys cutting-edge tech like foldables, these chips provide the right balance of performance and energy efficiency. As smartphones continue to evolve, these chipsets promise to deliver a smooth and seamless experience for users across various devices.
