MediaTek unveils latest chipset, the Dimensity 9300
MediaTek has announced the
latest flagship mobile chip to its lineup, the Dimensity 9300 chipset. The new
chipset has an embedded AI processor — the APU 790 AI — which the company said
enhances device performance and improves energy efficiency, enabling better a
experience around applications like gaming, video capture and generative AI
processing.
The Dimensity 9300, which
MediaTek President Joe Chen called the company’s “most powerful flagship chip
yet,” supports a few large language models including Meta Platform’s Llama 2,
Baichuan 2 and Baidu AI. The chipset modem supports 4CC-CA sub-6 GHz and 8CC-CA
mmWave, as well as Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to 6.5 Gbps. It also integrates MediaTek
Xtra Range Technology for better long-range connectivity, and faster
smartphone tethering speeds compared to other solutions thanks to the company’s
Multi-Link Hotspot technology.
“This unique architecture,
combined with our upgraded on-chip AI Processing Unit, will usher in a new era
of generative AI applications as developers push the limits with edge AI and
hybrid AI computing capabilities,” continued Chen.
When it comes to mobile gaming,
the latest GPU from Arm — the Arm Immortalis-G720 — allows the Dimensity 9300
to provide almost 46% boost in GPU performance at the same level of power
consumption as the Dimensity 9200, said MediaTek. Further, the new chip boasts
a 40% reduction in GPU power consumption at the same level of performance as
the previous generation chipset. “This provides users with a big performance
upgrade without sacrificing battery life,” commented the company, adding
further that gamers will expereince “console-level global illumination effects”
due to the combination of the chipset’s extreme octa-core CPU design and
MediaTek’s second generation hardware raytracing engine.
