Dimensity made announcements yesterday about their next-generation processors. These processors are designed to be used in flagship phones, as referred to by brands. In other words, they are designed for phones that require high-level performance. In addition to performance features, Dimensity 9300 seems to address the biggest issue users face, which is battery life. Here are the details about Dimensity 9300…
The battery problem is becoming a thing of the past!
MediaTek made announcements yesterday about the Dimensity 9300 processor that will be produced for flagship phones. In their announcements, they confirmed the use of Arm’s brand-new Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 CPU cores, along with the Mali-G720 GPU. However, contrary to expectations, no mention was made about the small CPU core, Cortex-A520.
On the other hand, a Twitter account claimed that the Dimensity 9300 processor will not use any small CPU cores, and instead, it will have an eight-core CPU consisting of four Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores, replacing the small core. The leaker also stated that power consumption has decreased by 50% compared to the Dimensity 9200 series.
Today, Apple has added the Thunderbolt Monitor and the first-generation iPad Air to its list of discontinued products.
A radical change in the mobile processor world! The elimination of small cores will be a significant change for MediaTek and, in general, all smartphone processors. Almost all multicore mobile chips are produced with small CPU cores. These cores are designed for maximum efficiency.
They handle the workload on top of the medium and large cores, designed with efficiency in mind. Therefore, it raises questions about how Dimensity 9300 can achieve these significant efficiency gains without small cores. Additionally, it was mentioned that battery life has been increased by 50% for the 9300 series.
The use of four large Cortex-X CPU cores is also a separate topic. Until now, flagship processor brands like MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Samsung have only been using one Cortex-X core due to overheating issues. However, Dimensity is now mentioning four cores. In addition to efficiency, the cooling system is also a point of interest.
