MediaTek Focuses On Budget-friendly Hardware With ...

Qualcomm is getting some good competition for the entry-level mobile SoCs, because MediaTek has just introduced three new power-efficient chipsets—Dimensity 7400, 7400X, and 6400—expanding its portfolio with enhanced gaming, AI, and connectivity features for mainstream mobile devices. The new products aim to deliver high-end experiences while maintaining energy efficiency.

The Dimensity 7400 and 7400X feature an octa-core CPU with four Arm Cortex-A78 cores (up to 2.6GHz) and four Cortex-A55 cores (up to 2.0GHz), along with an Arm Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. Built on TSMC’s 4nm process, these chipsets reduce power consumption by up to 36% during gaming compared to competitors.

MediaTek Advanced Gaming Technology (MAGT) 3.0 optimizes performance by adjusting game settings dynamically, reducing input lag, and extending battery life. The integration of MediaTek’s NPU 6.0 enhances AI-driven applications, offering a 15% performance boost over its predecessor. Additionally, the Imagiq 950 ISP enables advanced AI-powered photography, low-light enhancements, and Google Ultra HDR support for improved color accuracy and contrast.

The Dimensity 7400X variant supports dual-display flip phones, providing OEMs with greater design flexibility. Connectivity features include a 5G Release 16 modem with three-component carrier aggregation (3CC-CA), MediaTek UltraSave 3.0+ technology for 20% lower power consumption, and tri-band Wi-Fi 6E for stable, high-speed wireless connections.

The Dimensity 6400, built on a 6nm process, is designed for affordability while enhancing 5G capabilities. It includes an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A76 cores (up to 2.5GHz) and six Cortex-A55 cores (up to 2.0GHz), paired with an Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. Offering up to 19% lower gaming power consumption, it also features Bluetooth Wi-Fi HyperCoex to minimize latency and supports advanced camera technologies, including 108MP sensors with multi-frame noise reduction.

The Dimensity 6400 is currently available, while devices powered by the Dimensity 7400 and 7400X are expected in Q1 2025. Don’t forget to check out our article on the flagship Mediatek Dimensity 9400.
