On November sixth, chipmaker MediaTek launched the Dimensity 9300, its flagship cell SoC that goals to problem the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 introduced by Qualcomm two weeks in the past.
The Dimensity 9300 makes use of TSMC’s Third-generation 4nm+ expertise, is made of twenty-two.7 billion transistors, and contains a new “All-Massive-Core” CPU structure devoted to efficiency.
MediaTek claims improved efficiency and energy consumption over last-gen Dimensity 9200 and barely higher efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in some benchmarks.
All-Massive-Core CPU with 8 Cores for prolonged peak efficiency
The Dimensity 9300 “all-big core CPU structure” boasts 4 Cortex-X4 ultra-large cores, with one clocked at 3.25GHz, three at 2.85GHz, and 4 massive cores Cortex-A720 at 2.0 GHz. The brand new structure guarantees to place MediaTek forward of the competitors with brute efficiency.
By comparability, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, comes with a single ultra-large Cortex-X4 core, 5 massive Cortex-A720 cores, and two smaller Cortex-A520 effectivity cores to steadiness vitality consumption and efficiency.
MediaTek guarantees that the brand new structure nonetheless delivers good energy effectivity and won’t face thermal administration points.
“MediaTek made progressive adjustments with a Massive Core CPU structure, […] that might meet the low energy necessities by merely turning on the large cores to compute quicker after which getting into a low energy sleep state far more rapidly, […] and on the identical time lengthen the height efficiency,” mentioned Finbarr Moynihan, GM and VP, Company Advertising, MediaTek.
MediaTek has prolonged the reminiscence on-chip from a complete of 14 MB on the Dimensity 9200 to 18 MB (8 MB L3 cache and 10 MB system cache) on the Dimensity 9300. The exterior reminiscence interface has been upgraded to help LPDDR5T, the quickest RAM at present out there for cell gadgets, with a velocity of as much as 9.6 Gbps.
The Dimensity 9300 delivers 15% extra efficiency than the Dimensity 9200 on the identical energy stage, 33% decrease energy consumption on the identical efficiency, and 40% larger peak efficiency, in keeping with MediaTek.
Immortalis-G720, 12-Core GPU With 46% Higher Ray Tracing
Final yr, the Dimensity 9200 built-in the 11-core Immortalis GPU G-715, the primary flagship ARM GPU with hardware-based ray tracing (RT). Due to an extra core, mixed with extra on-chip system RAM and L3 cache with a quicker LPDDR5T exterior reminiscence interface, the brand new Immortals-G720 delivers a 46% enhance in ray tracing efficiency. Such a achieve in RT efficiency allows world illumination strategies for extra sensible 3D gaming.
The corporate claims a 46% enhance in GPU efficiency over the earlier era on the identical energy ranges, a 40% achieve in energy effectivity, and considerably larger body charges than its Qualcomm rival on a few of GFX Bench’s gaming benchmarks.
APU 790, seventh Gen AI Processing Unit Designed for Generative AI
The brand new APU 790 has been re-engineered to help on-device generative AI functions. MediaTek has designed a brand new A16W4 (INT4) Tensor processing unit and a singular reminiscence compression expertise that helps to compute Massive Language Fashions (LLMs) used for generative AI.
Due to this new structure, Mediatek claims that the APU 790 can run LLMs with 7 billion parameters at 20 tokens per second or with 13 billion parameters at a slower price (with 16 GB RAM), and as much as 33 billion with prolonged RAM.
With its new APU, MediaTek claims an 8x enhance in efficiency over its predecessor for generative AI functions, and the brand new structure is touted to course of picture era utilizing text-to-image Steady Diffusion fashions in lower than one second.
And like its Qualcomm nemesis, the Dimensity 9300 helps normal massive language fashions (LLMs) resembling Meta’s Lama2 and Baidu’s ERNIE-3-4.
On the extra conventional AI facet, the APU 790 delivers 2x the efficiency on integer and arithmetic floating level efficiency for functions resembling computational images and video show administration, with a forty five% discount in energy consumption in comparison with final yr’s SoC.
Imagiq 990 ISP, Digicam Expertise Enhancements
The Imagiq 990 ISP affords always-on HDR functionality for 4K seize at 60 fps, with real-time bokeh monitoring. Due to the 16 object layer segmentation help throughout video recording, the digicam system can determine and monitor faces, individuals, physique, timber, grass, mountains, sky, sea, and landscapes after which apply completely different corrections or enhancements to every merchandise.
Different options embody standalone OIS and 3-mic HDR audio noise discount.
The Vivo X100 collection smartphones are anticipated to launch on November 13 in China with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor.
