MediaTek Launches the Revolutionary Dimensity 8400 Chipset
Today, MediaTek has officially introduced the Dimensity 8400, marking its entry as the premier upper-midrange Android chipset equipped with an entirely big-core CPU. This innovative approach mirrors the path taken last year by its flagship counterpart, the Dimensity 9300.
First Device Set to Feature the NewChip
The much-anticipated Redmi Turbo 4 is slated to be the initial device powered by this new chipset, with a full official launch expected in early January 2025. In preparation for this release, reservations for early access will begin today.
A Challenge to Snapdragon’s Dominance
The introduction of an all big-core CPU in the Dimensity 8400 presents a formidable challenge to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, which has established itself as a leading contender in the upper-midrange market for an extended period. The transition toward MediaTek’s cutting-edge architecture could very well disrupt Snapdragon’s long-standing supremacy.
