Plus, u can find s24 128gb for 550€, price of Realme GT 6 with Qualcomm sd 8s gen 3. To call someone tik tok generation u need to support your argument with complete facts, not like this. I wipe out this nonsense like a dust! U need to learn much more to argue with me, no offense! Also, i want this mt 404 to comment something, to show argument or something on any article. Men is mascot here with his reactions!!

    GregLu, 09 Oct 2024Flagship material, congrats Mediatek! I'm hoping that... morePretty sure all Chinese non-ultra models will use this chip, There's even rumors about base Galaxy S25 using it.

      Please everybody that has or is about to do disregard the Pricing Article of SoC it is NOT a fact
      The Dimensity 9400 SoC WILL most definitely cost less than the next Qualcomm SoC, but as neither costs are known. The recent article citing exact cost 😂 [source tweet on X] are nowhere near accurate or indeed has since verified or corroborated by another person currently resident on this planet)

      BTW This same leakster posted on D9400 architecture AND clockspeed (this leak got BOTH also wrong, what is wrong with his cut and paste?

      There is a rumour going round which may prove correct, if and that a BIG IF another alleged story proves to be correct

      We all have to wait until 10/30/2024 however Samsung may have already made decisions months ago or not.

      Article Samsung struggles with Exynos 2500 production, all Galaxy S25 units could switch to Snapdragon? https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_struggles_with_exynos_2500_production_all_galaxy_s25_units_could_switch_to_snapdragon-news-64818.php

      Option Q There were so many nay sayer until the 9-core Exynos 2400 silenced them

      Many are still wedded in the belief that Qualcomm is good everything else is bad. Mediatek responded as did Samsung. As long as the best SoC is being used in FLAGSHIP phone, it doesn't bother me, or you. I said this in 2023 indeed it is possible that only contractual arrangements prevented the BEST SoC being used then. Just me.

      Option M It could be D9400 / Exynos 2500 split due these unconfirmed low yields together with the inevitable price hike the flagship Qualcomm will request demand could in theory result

      Not until 10/24/2024 when Qualcomm Official Announcement of their FLAGSHIP SoC. Qualcomm have previously used the event to confirm manufacturer adoption.

      The latest Mediatek could still reign supreme for Android phones equally. If benchmarks place Qualcomm above Mediatek (a reversal) and only by a marginal amount this could benefit Samsung in negotiating an equivalent price for Samsung to remain Qualcomm customer https://www.sammobile.com/news/mediatek-dimensity-9400-chip-galaxy-s25-announced

      The first comparison we will know is the Dimensity 9400 over the 9300 benchmark AND how much this 3nm SoC improves compared to Apples A18 another 3nm

      What is unknown now and won't be for many months rounded corners or sharp corners ? 😱 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
      To a lesser extent the performance of a 3nm E2500 over the 4nm E2400

      I may have got my priorities wrong here but seriously there is on paper more potential gains to be had with a 9-Core 3nm SoC than with an 8 Core 3nm.

      I see rumours cited as if fact Samsung may be for marketing favour Qualcomm, but if the D9400 proves once again to eclipse Qualcomm and cost more, why are Samsung not using Flagship SoC? Add to that another variable Qualcomm SoC could come in Third behind Samsung. I don't think a case could be made to include Qualcomm

      We may know as early as 10/24/2024 or as late as February 2025 as Samsung S2* have always wanted to be 100% Exynos, that is dependent on if the yield story is true.

                  Hemedans, 09 Oct 2024If you want review of D9400 https://m.bilibili.com/video/B... moreArigato Gozaimasu.

                    Definitely Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 killer, if not in performance, for sure in heat management.

                      If you want review of D9400
                      https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV17y2cYRE15

                      Summary
                      -Gpu is really good over 50% efficient increase
                      -Cpu good also around 15-20% efficient increase
                      -Cortex A720 star of the show, Amazing efficient increase probably because of newer 3nm node.
                      -X925 is so and so, perfomance increase over X4 but it use more than 7W one core alone, seems Mtk/Arm wanted to match Oryon cores.

                      D8400 if true use more cortex A720 cores I won't be suprised if it outperform D9400 in real life.

                        My main reason to update this fast is because I'm tech enthusiast, and I love tech... and that's why I'm here in GSMArena.

                        I'm not some lousy shallow pocket that just read GSMArena for 5 years without buying anything

                          Vasra, 09 Oct 2024If Mediatek chips would get proper software support and AOS... moreThis is unfortunate because Mediatek has been killing it on the hardware side for last couple of years with really competitive chipsets. But if you sell a premium top end chipset, people also expect premium support and 2-3 years is just not enough. I personally don't even look at phones that don't offer at least 5 years of major OS updates. But most of those upped the support to 7 recently (Samsung and Google), Apple has been on 5 forever and sometimes even more depending on popularity of active devices and their capabilities I guess. It's mostly Chinese brands that barely offer more than 2-3.

                            If Mediatek chips would get proper software support and AOSP source releases beyond 2-3 years, this would great news. AS it stands now, yes interesting, but hardware is only half of the equation.

                                Anonymous, 09 Oct 2024Also s25/s25+ is rumored to have d9400Samsung is less than 3 months from announcement.
                                If they had d9400, at this point would not be rumor but fact already.
                                Where are source codes to reveal?
                                Where are benchmarks?

                                To have these chips, samsung would need:

                                1) to have tested it since its prototype days and have d9400 approved
                                2) sign the deal to have chips
                                3) have the first batch already to start mass production in November/early December

                                Considering how much gossip goes on through supply chain and how easy info on samsung phones show up on internet months before devices get announced, we would all know already.

                                Evidence of d9300 inside tablets were out there few months before tablets got official. Rumors started even before.

                                    $35 is difference to phone maker. Not to client.
                                    Brand would not give you cheaper phone if switching to mediatek.

                                    Exynos is far cheaper, samsung charges more.
                                    Tensynos is 1/4 of Snapdragon price. Google asks €1200 for 9 pro XL.

                                    Phones makers saw no issues in paying for 8g3 that was 4x the price of 865.
                                    Do you think they care about paying $35 more?
