MediaTek launches Dimensity 9400e flagship chipset, T930 platform for 5G FWA
NEW DELHI:
MediaTek
on Wednesday said premium
5G
smartphones powered by its new Dimensity 9400e chipset will launch in the market from this month.
Separately, the Taiwanese fabless chipmaker also rolled out the T930 chipset for
5G fixed wireless access
(FWA) and
mobile Wi-Fi devices
, with support for sub-6GHz bands and capable of achieving 5G speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Built on TSMC's third-generation 4nm process, the
MediaTek Dimensity 9400e
features an All Big Core CPU architecture, including four Cortex-X4 super cores with clock speeds of up to 3.4GHz and four Cortex-A720 big cores with clock speeds of 2.0GHz. The chipset is equipped with a 12-core GPU, Immortalis-G720, which supports hardware-level mobile ray tracing technology.
The Dimensity 9400e supports the latest MediaTek NeuroPilot SDK for generative AI applications and services. It features enhanced inference decoding technology (SpD+), accelerating the computational efficiency of large language models. It also supports global mainstream large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs), enabling on-device operation of DeepSeek-R1-Distill (Qwen1.5B/Llama7B/Llama8B) models, as well as Gemini Nano with Multimodality, LLaVA-1.5 7B, and more.
'With the launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e, we are expanding our family of leading mobile platforms to ensure both device makers and users can select from a larger range of flagship experiences than ever before,' said Yenchi Lee, general manager of MediaTek's Wireless Communications Business Unit.
On the other hand, the
MediaTek T930
comes with 6CC-CA downlink, and five-layer 3Tx, enabling uplink performance of up to 2.8Gbps. It is also the first to support 8Rx with a total 200MHz downlink bandwidth, said MediaTek.
In addition, the T930 supports 3GPP Release-18 standard, and more advanced modem features including 3Tx and L4S innovations proposed by MediaTek.
The chipset combines the MediaTek M90 5G modem with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU and a dedicated network processor. The full T930 platform also includes an RF transceiver, a GNSS receiver, and power management.
The T930 platform can be combined with a dedicated NPU chip to form a Generative AI gateway device, providing advanced Edge AI processing and interaction with devices within the network.
'The growth of 5G mobile data is now being driven by a wide range of application services, while the rapid development of AI, which enables on-device learning, also aligns with new user demands and experiences,' said JC Hsu, corporate senior vice president of MediaTek.
MediaTek said it has already become the preferred partner of leading international customers and is working closely with several ecosystem partners to integrate the T930 into next-generation FWA and Mi-Fi products for global markets.

World's biggest Chinese smartphone brand to be hit hardest by US chip design restrictions
is among the first companies to be affected by new US restrictions on chip design software, a Financial Times report claims. Quoting people with knowledge of the matter, the report says that the move could severely impact China's ambitions in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For those unaware, Xiaomi unveiled its self-designed XRING O1 mobile processor last month. The chip—manufactured using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company 's (TSMC) leading-edge 3-nanometre technology is intended for Xiaomi's newest flagship smartphones. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Industry and Security, part of the US Commerce Department, recently ordered electronic design automation (EDA) firms to halt the supply of tools to Chinese companies, cutting off crucial software that enables the creation of cutting-edge chips. With the new restrictions, Xiaomi's chip may face hurdles for its reliance on EDA tools from now-restricted US providers. Though the custom chip currently represents a small share of Xiaomi's handset sales, insiders say the company plans to use its own silicon across all future high-end smartphones and tablets. Other brands may face similar challenges Other Chinese firms—such as Lenovo, the world's largest PC maker, and Bitmain, a leader in crypto mining hardware—also design their own chips using US EDA tools and TSMC's fabrication facilities, and could face similar challenges. While the full scope of the new US ban is not yet public, current indications suggest that existing licences may not be revoked, but future software updates and technical support will be blocked. This would effectively freeze development capabilities for Chinese firms depending on TSMC and US software. Although TSMC is already prohibited from manufacturing advanced AI chips for Chinese firms, production of processors for smartphones, tablets, and other less sensitive applications had continued under exemptions—until now. Big tech companies like Alibaba and Baidu have also built in-house chips, but the extent of the EDA ban's impact on them remains unclear.

TSMC suspends new factory in Japan due to traffic jams; tells government, 'we'll delay the construction until ...'
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) CEO CC Wei attributed delays in expanding its operations in southwestern Japan to worsening traffic congestion. According to a report in Bloomberg, Wei confirmed that the construction of a second plant in Japan is facing minor delays. While TSMC has primarily operated from Taiwan, it established its first Japanese factory after receiving significant incentives from Tokyo. The first TSMC plant in Japan, operational since last year, has boosted the local economy but strained the rural infrastructure, leading to housing and service shortages and extended commute times. 'We have created too big an impact on the local traffic. I have experienced that in person. For what used to take a 10-15 min drive, it now takes almost an hour,' Wei told reporters after a shareholders' meeting in Hsinchu, Taiwan, on Tuesday, as quoted by Bloomberg. He added, 'We told the Japanese government we'll delay the construction until the traffic improves. They said they'll make improvements as soon as possible.' Wei did not specify the duration of the delay. As the world's leading contract chipmaker, TSMC is central to the global tech supply chain, producing advanced chips for Apple's iPhones and Nvidia's AI servers. Governments worldwide, from the U.S. to Europe, have sought TSMC's investment, especially after pandemic-era chip shortages disrupted production across industries like automotive and consumer electronics. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo TSMC says worried about local residents The planned second factory in Kumamoto Prefecture, initially expected to begin construction in early 2025, is critical to Japan's goal of revitalizing its semiconductor industry and attracting talent to an aging nation. However, the local infrastructure has struggled to accommodate the influx of workers from TSMC's first plant, even as the company's U.S. expansion reduces pressure on Japanese production. 'This will become negative for the area, for the local government, but I am most worried it will become negative for local residents,' Wei reportedly said. 'So we told the Japanese government to improve the traffic first.' Japan's chief government spokesman, Yoshimasa Hayashi, responded, stating, 'Heightened uncertainty in the global economy, along with challenges including the lack of domestic infrastructure and labor can lead to hesitation among private companies thinking of investing,' according to Bloomberg. He emphasized Tokyo's commitment to improving conditions to attract foreign investment and talent. The delay in Japan echoes earlier challenges TSMC faced in launching its U.S. facilities in Arizona, though progress has since been made. On Tuesday, TSMC executives noted that demand for AI chips continues to outpace supply. Wei reiterated the company's April forecast of mid-20% revenue growth for 2025, despite margin pressures from a strengthening Taiwanese dollar. TSMC expects record profits this year.
