A well-known tipster has just confirmed that both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will be based on a 3nm manufacturing process. Both of those chips are set to launch next year.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 & Dimensity 9400 will be made using a 3nm process
This information comes from Digital Chat Station, one of the most prominent tipsters from China. He also revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 no longer has an ARM version. It will use the self-developed Oryon core.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 is set to launch in four days, on November 6. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, on the other hand, was announced last month. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 does seem to be a great chip on paper, actually.
It is made using a 4nm process, and is 30% more powerful than its predecessor. It is also 20% more power efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. On top of that, it has a 25% more powerful GPU, and 40% better Ray Tracing.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has a lot to offer
That chip also supports 8K external display support, and has Unreal Engine 5 support with a Lumen lighting system. Those are only some of the improvements Qualcomm brought to the table.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9300, on the other hand, will be immensely powerful, based on everything we’ve seen thus far. It will also be a 4nm process. The heat that it produces is rumored to be an issue, though, but it remains to be seen.
We still don’t have any details on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or Dimensity 9400, other than what the tipster shared. Both of those chips are expected to arrive in Q4 next year, so there’s still plenty of time before that happens. A lot more info will surface before then, that’s for sure.
