MediaTek Dimensity 9300 allegedly mimics Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with two Cortex-X4 Prime cores

[Redaktion]

A new leak says the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 will feature an eight-core CPU with a 2+4+2 layout, complete with two Cortex-X4 high-performance cores. It will be manufactured on TSMC's N4P node and launched sometime in October.

With the same memory bandwidth 2x16bit ... but hey it's lpddr5x 8533/9600 🦾

Don't Cortex-X cores come with more cache? There could be a benefit even if the clocks aren't much higher.

Wow, now the smartphone future looks awesome and mind boggling, all in competition at it's best.

With those 4, that should take things to star war levels which will be great for consumers. With this, technologies will only be limited by engineers imagination. As for Google's upcoming tensor 3, that'll just leave them further behind the pack and prove they should have stuck with using Qualcomm's chips since tensor has been a step backwards despite all the hype.

In my view, Tensor is doing what it's supposed to. Since the Pixel 5, Google stopped competing head-to-head to Android Flagships. However, Snapdragon chips, even midrange, are expensive.

Tensor allows to check many boxes: It's cheaper than Qualcomm offerings, while offering flagship-like performance, allows to focus on the NPU as differentiator, while helps financially support Samsung LSI (second sources are important for a healthy market). Finally, a token of collaboration with Samsung when Google and Samsung reinvested in its partnership, with the result of the new iteration of Wear OS and this Samsung-made sillicon.

MediaTek (like Exynos) claim the will bridge the gap over and over but never do.

sarcastic comment but why not 4x 515 at 2.5Ghz with lpddr5x 8533 with 128bit with same G715? Phones will live longer with less charger and get excellent performances. SD 8 gen 4 9300 or even next Exynos 2400/2500 are octacore or even decacores that are powerful like desktop minipc with consumes near of notebooks (15-20W)
