    Mediatek doesn't release their kernel sources so we can't easily create custom drivers and custom roms for it, saying they do "the same thing" is blatantly ignorant.

      Yup straight from Google's deep mind statement:

      "External organizations are also adopting and building on AlphaChip. For example, MediaTek, one of the top chip design companies in the world, extended AlphaChip to accelerate the development of their most advanced chips – like the Dimensity Flagship 5G used in Samsung mobile phones "

        No one in their right mind is going to look at any of the flagship socs this year and say it's incremental

        Are you insane this is the biggest leap in years

        This is literally the only time in YEARS it not incremental for both 9400 and 8 gen 4

        Come on man

              What for benchmark results, actual review and usage before you all cry!

              Anyway, I love Mediatek. They're not overpriced compared to Snapdragon in my opinion.

Also it's not only about CPU, but GPU got massive improvement, CPU's are already overpowered for these kind of chips but to get like 40% improvements on GPU side this is there magic happens. GPU looks nightly impressive on 9400

                  Anonymous, 22 hours agoMediaTek charges $180. Qualcomm charges $240. And they both... moreMediatek charges 150, Qualcomm 190, so thanks to Mediatek 240 price never panned out, but we badly need third player to keep prices sustainable.

                    Waiting for the Geekerwan review of it.. 😂😁

                            PanRT, 21 hours ago in the Oppo Find X8 in November, nope 24.10 Oppo release.Exactly. That's already been confirmed by OPPO

                              RM Gamer, 21 hours agoLet's get technical here, this is just basically the D... moreThat's because you're only looking at the surface. If you look deep into its design you'll see that all the cores have DOUBLE the amount of cache from last generation (dimensity 9300), which is A HUGE CHANGE.

                              Dimensity 9400:
                              1*X925 3.62GHz, 2MB L2 cache
                              3*X4 3.3GHz, 1MB L2 cache
                              4*A720 2.4GHz, 512KB L2 cache
                              L3 cache 12MB

                              Dimensity 9300:
                              1*X4 3.25GHz, 1MB L2 cache
                              3*X4 2.85GHz, 512KB L2 cache
                              4*A720 2.0GHz, 256KB L2 cache
                              L3 cache 8MB

                              So in summary, we have DOUBLE the L2 cache, 50% more L3 cache, a new X925 core, way higher clock frequencies on a new 3nm node. Of course we'll have to wait for reviews to see how well it actually performs, but this is definitely not some insignificant change.

                                RM Gamer, 21 hours agoLet's get technical here, this is just basically the D... moreSo:

                                1) new prime core,
                                2) higher clocked power and efficient cores,
                                3) brand new gpu,
                                4) better node,
                                5) npu etc...

                                this is marginal?

                                  RM Gamer, 21 hours agoLet's get technical here, this is just basically the D... morethe prime core is a new one AND is clocked higher than the older phones, it's clocked higher than the iPhone 14 Pro Max/the A16, that's something new.

                                  The X4 cores are NOT the same, just having the cores isn't enough, you have to look at the clock speeds too man. the 9300 had 3x2.85 GHz Cortex-X4 and the 9400 has 3x3.3 GHz Cortex-X4. Each of these X4 cores are clocked higher than the prime core of the 9300 which was 1x3.25 Ghz.

                                  The A720 Cores are bumped up from 2.0 Ghz in the 9300 to 2.4 Ghz on the 9400. Additionally the cache has been upped as well.

                                  The GPU has bumped up from 1300 to 1625 Mhz, that's a huge change as well. Additionally these are newer cores.

                                  Technically speaking, this is a HUGE upgrade and if it weren't for the node change, the SoC would've combusted.

                                      Let's get technical here, this is just basically the DM9300 with minor improvements and better 3nm TSMC manufacturing process.

                                      The only new thing here is it uses a new single* Prime core at X925(X5) but still uses the same cores as the previous DM9300 CPU Wise:
                                      X925 Prime core- NEW
                                      3x X4 cores- SAME w/ DM9300
                                      4x A720 cores- SAME w/ DM9300
                                      Of course a new GPU.

                                      The claims in efficiency can be real but, performance, just by putting a new different prime core are questionable to me. We'll see on the reviews then
