Dimensity 8400: The Global First All-Big-Core Mid-Range Flagship Chip

In today’s increasingly fierce competition in the smartphone market, MediaTek once again demonstrates technological foresight by launching the Dimensity 8400 chip – the world’s first all-big-core mid-range flagship chip. By combining flagship-level technology and high-efficiency design, the CPU and GPU performance of Dimensity 8400 has achieved a leapfrog improvement, setting a new benchmark for the mid-range flagship market.
In terms of energy efficiency, which has always been a strong point of the Dimensity 8000 series, Dimensity 8400 brings an experience comparable to a flagship-level mid-range chip. Especially in gaming scenarios, it directly outperforms competing 8-series chips. It has lower power consumption and better temperature control. This ‘ice-sealed’ chip is extremely powerful.


In addition to the all-big-core CPU that crushes its peers, the GPU of Dimensity 8400 is even more terrifying. The Dimensity 8400 released at the end of the year is equipped with a Mali-G720 GPU at the same level as flagship chips and supports flagship hardware ray tracing technology. With various black technologies, it should dominate the mid-range flagship graphics performance in 2025. Looking directly at the effect, the peak performance of the new GPU of Dimensity 8400 has increased by 24% compared to the previous generation, and the power consumption has decreased by 45%.


In horizontal comparison, compared with chips at the same level in the industry, the GPU performance is significantly ahead by 44%, and the power consumption is saved by 45%, which can be called a cliff-like lead. It can be seen that Dimensity 8400 is very brutal this time. The GPU performance and energy efficiency are directly pulled to the strongest in the same category.



The realization of such stunning performance and energy efficiency evolution is inseparable from the many innovative technology upgrades of the Dimensity 8400 GPU. Different from vertex shading in the traditional GPU rendering pipeline, the deferred vertex shading pipeline technology (DVS) supported by Mali-G720 postpones unnecessary calculations and disperses the pressure of graphics rendering to subsequent stages, thereby effectively reducing bandwidth consumption.


On the other hand, by reducing memory access and bandwidth usage, DVS technology further reduces rendering power consumption. In addition, the Dimensity 8400 GPU further enhances graphics processing performance and stability through 40% bandwidth optimization and 86% variable rate rendering performance improvement. Not only that, the GPU of Dimensity 8400 also supports hardware ray tracing technology, popularizing the flagship-level ray tracing experience to a wider mainstream market.


In a leading MOBA mobile game, with 120 frames of extreme picture quality and Huya live streaming enabled, under the same battery capacity, compared with industry flagship chips, Dimensity 8400 not only has a significantly longer gaming time by 20%, but also has a body temperature that is a full 5 degrees lower. In a well-known leading open-world game, with 60 frames of extremely high picture quality enabled, compared with industry flagship chips, Dimensity 8400 has a 19% longer gaming time and a body temperature that is 6 degrees lower.



The Dimensity 8400 also supports Dimensity Frame Doubling Technology. In leading secondary-element games, Dimensity 8400 phones offer the same 60-frame experience. The gaming duration is 38% longer than that of other flagship chips in the industry. The body temperature is 7.1 degrees lower, bringing a more durable and cooler gaming experience. Moreover, when running “Peace Elite”, Dimensity 8400 easily achieves full 90 frames throughout the process, and the power consumption can be reduced by 24%.


It can be said to be the best tool for teaming up and winning in the game. Dimensity 8400 also supports the Dimensity Speed Engine. Through advanced performance algorithms, it can perform real-time resource scheduling according to the performance requirements of the game and the device temperature, allowing the computing power to be freely adjusted. Moreover, the Dimensity gaming ecosystem has developed into a considerable scale.


More and more games and applications are joining it, presenting a more excellent gaming experience. It was announced at the press conference that “League of Legends: Wild Rift” has officially landed on the Dimensity Speed Engine. Compared with before activation, while Dimensity 8400 runs at full 120 frames throughout the process, the power consumption can also be reduced by 13.5%. With the support of the Dimensity Speed Engine, when running “Naraka: Bladepoint Mobile” and “Zerospace Zero”, Dimensity 8400 can run at full frames throughout the process.


The power consumption can also be reduced by more than 30% year-on-year. Stable frames, reduced power consumption, and long-lasting smooth gaming. Dimensity 8400 is the best choice for young players. The Dimensity 8 series outperforms competitors in the same series. This performance is too amazing! The eight all-large A725 cores and G720 GPU of Dimensity 8400 this time are indispensable. It also fully proves that this amazing chip from MediaTek has completely changed the gaming rules of sub-flagship chips.


It is invincible in the same class and has the strength to compete with flagship chips. As a new benchmark in the sub-flagship market, Dimensity 8400 not only subverts traditional cognition in performance but also brings a leap-forward gaming experience through a powerful architecture design. And the REDMI Turbo 4, which will soon be equipped with Dimensity 8400, has also become the focus of the industry.


The integration of flagship-level experience and sub-flagship price may change the selection criteria of young users for performance phones.
