According to famous tipsters Digital Chat Station and Ice Universe on Weibo, MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 SoC is rumored to feature a combination of four Cortex-X4 and four Cortex A720 cores, omitting the Cortex-A520.

This configuration implies that the chip will exclusively utilize powerful cores. Notably, ARM recently introduced the Cortex-X4 as its fastest CPU, promising a 15% increase in performance compared to the X3 while operating at the same power level.

Dimensity 9300 might fire up a 'Dimensity era' in the mobile market

Digital Chat Station and Ice Universe suggest that the Dimensity 9300 chip offers significant improvements over its predecessor, with a reported 50% increase in power efficiency. Furthermore, Digital Chat Station claims that its performance even surpasses that of Apple's A17 Bionic. The chip will be based on the N4P process, a cutting-edge 4 nm solution that promises enhanced performance and efficiency compared to the N5 and N4 processes.

Confirmed features include the Immortalis-G720 GPU. If these claims hold true, the Dimensity 9300 could potentially become a game-changer in the semiconductor industry, potentially outperforming Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. However, it is advisable to wait for official confirmation before making any definitive conclusions.
