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.

MediaTek announces Dimensity 9400e chipset for flagship devices
MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9400e, a new chipset in the company's flagship Dimensity family. The 9400e sits below the 9400 and the 9400+ models, and is essentially a rebranded 9300+ from last year with minor changes. The Dimensity 9400e has the company's All Big Core design, which includes 1x 3.4GHz Cortex-X4, 3x 2.85GHz Cortex-X4, and 4x 2.0GHz Cortex-A720 CPU cores, same as the 9300+. There's also 8MB L3 cache and 10MB SLC. The chip supports up to 8533MHz LPDDR5X memory, which is a drop from the 9600MHz supported by the 9300+. There's also UFS 4 + MCQ storage support. The 9400e also uses the same 12-core Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU as the 9300+ with hardware accelerated ray-tracing support. Most of the media and connectivity features remain the same between the two chips. However, the 9400e does have faster 7.3Gbps Wi-Fi peak data rate compared to 6.5Gbps on the 9300+. There's also faster Bluetooth 6.0 with dual Bluetooth engine, and MediaTek claims it has a connection range of up to 5km within line of sight. The 9400e also supports the latest MediaTek NeuroPilot SDK, enabling modern AI technologies, including support for Multi-Modality (LMM), Large Vision Models (LVM), and additional Language Models (SLM/LLM) from the global AI ecosystem. On the gaming front, the 9400e supports MediaTek HyperEngine and MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology as the 9300+ for improved performance and lower power consumption, but also adds MediaTek Frame Rate Converter, which claims to reduce power consumption by 40% when enabled without specifying how. You can expect to see this chip relatively soon. Sister brands OnePlus and Realme have both announced support for the chipset, with OnePlus including the chip in its upcoming OnePlus Ace5 Racing Edition for China and Realme featuring it in its Realme GT 7 smartphone. Both devices are expected to launch this month.

New smartphone chipset lowers the price for flagship features and functionality
The world of smartphone chipsets isn't as big as that of phones because there are only two major players that really matter: MediaTek and Qualcomm. Both companies are trying to allure device makers into using their chipsets to power their portfolio is much bigger than Qualcomm's, but that doesn't mean the former's products are always better than the latter. Still, having a much larger lineup of chipsets offers phone makers a wider range of options when it comes to the core part of their devices. Today, MediaTek announced a brand-new chipset that promises to offer a wider range of flagship features and functionality, including AI, connectivity, and gaming for different types of new Dimensity 9400e is built on TSMC's third-generation 4nm process, and features an All Big Core CPU architecture, including four Cortex-X4 super cores with clock speeds of up to 3.4 GHz and four Cortex-A720 big cores with clock speeds of 2.0 comparison, the vanilla Dimensity 9400 features MediaTek's second-generation All Big Core design with an Arm Cortex-X925 CPU clocked at 3.62 GHz, three Arm Cortex-X4 running at 3.3 GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz. The upgraded Dimensity 9400+ has a slightly more powerful configuration than the other two mentioned above: 1x Cortex-X920 CPU at 3.73 GHz, 3x Cortex-X4 CPUs at 3.30 GHz, and 4x Cortex-A720 at 2.4 by the specs announced, the Dimensity 9400e is the third most powerful smartphone chipset released by MediaTek, which probably makes it the cheapest too.

I'm excited for MediaTek's new chipset, which will bring top-tier power to more affordable phones
MediaTek has revealed its latest upcoming phone tech for 2025. The new Dimensity 9400e chipset takes the power of last year's flagship processor, and brings it to this year's mid-rangers. It's a step down from the main Dimensity 9400 that is powering this year's most powerful smartphones, but still promises some impressive performance. At the heart of this chip is what MediaTek calls an All Big Core architecture. That means there are no efficiency cores here – just raw performance. The set-up includes four Cortex-X4 cores hitting up to 3.4GHz, and four more Cortex-A720s clocked at 2.0GHz. Built on TSMC's 4nm process, this thing doesn't use the latest chip tech, but is still plenty powerful. There's also a 12-core Immortalis-G720 GPU ready to crank out high-end visuals, with hardware-level ray tracing on board. Speaking of games, the 9400e comes armed with MediaTek's HyperEngine suite. This includes a few new features like MAGT 2.0 for smarter real-time performance tuning, and a frame rate converter that can save up to 40% of power. That means less lag and more battery. AI is another big push here (of course). The chip supports MediaTek's updated NeuroPilot SDK and a whole host of generative AI models (including Gemini Nano and Llama) all running directly on the device. MediaTek even threw in faster decoding tech for LLMs, so AI apps should feel that bit snappier. There's also a flagship-level ISP on board that supports 18-bit RAW capture and fancy AI video segmentation across 16 layers. Three-mic audio processing is in there too, with built-in noise reduction for clearer voice recordings. Connectivity isn't taking a back seat either. You get support for sub-6GHz 5G, Wi-Fi 7 tri-band, and Bluetooth with a 5km line-of-sight range. There's also dual-SIM dual-active support and MediaTek's 5G UltraSave 3.0 tech to help preserve power. This chip is set to debut in a range of mid-range smartphones coming out throughout the rest of 2025. Expect the first devices to be announced later this month.
