MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus Surface Specs As Launch Approaches

What do you want to know

• Specs for MediaTek’s next mid-range chip have surfaced and it looks like the company will offer higher speeds and more AI.
• The Dimensity 9300 Plus will reportedly launch with a 3.4GHz “mega-core” and the same Mali-G720-Immortalis MC12 GPU as its predecessor.
• MediaTek has confirmed that its Dimensity 9300 Plus will debut during MDDC 2024 on May 7 with a tagline reading “AI for Everything.”

MediaTek is gearing up to launch a Plus edition of its latest mid-range chip, and some notable specs have been leaked following a benchmark test.

Innogyan spotted a snapshot that Vivo product manager Han Boxiao posted of its upcoming X100s device crossing typical benchmark hurdles (via GSMArena). The device is equipped with MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, which Vivo claims offers AI and frequency improvement.

The information shows that the Dimensity 9300 Plus will feature a 3.4GHz “mega-core” as the main force behind its strength. The mid-range chip will also feature three 2.85 GHz cores, four 2.0 GHz cores, and a Mali-G720-Immortalis MC12 GPU.

Han then teased the device AI image generation capabilities, powered by the Dimensity 9300 Plus. The software was seen changing the season of photos from the original photo of a bright green tree and backdrop.

MediaTek has already started teasing the launch of its Dimensity 9300 Plus chip, which will take place on May 7. MDDC 2024. MediaTek emphasized the importance of AI for its conference this year, as its official page states that the theme is “AI for Everything.”

MediaTek is apparently ready to discuss how it plans to implement AI into games, alongside a showcase of its advanced technology.

The Taiwanese company launched the original Dimensity 9300 in November, and it was evident that it went all out with AI. The chip uses LLMs (large language models) such as Meta’s Llama 2 to aid the chip’s generative features on the device. The Dimensity 9300 offers text and image generation, as well as music.

More importantly, the leaked specs suggest that the Plus edition will have a notable advantage over its predecessor. The initial iteration features a quad Cortex-X4 configuration reaching 3.25 GHz and four Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. The supposed GPU appears to remain the same.

As the industry waits for MediaTek’s next mid-range chip, rumors have started circulating regarding its next-generation flagship SoC. The Dimensity 9400 could offer Cortex-X5, Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A7 cores. So far, we’re not sure what speeds the next chip might offer, although MediaTek looks set to take on Qualcomm’s next flagship chip later in 2024.
