With the announcement of the vivo X200 Series, we’ve finally gotten a hold of the brand new chipset that came with it — the Mediatek Dimensity 9400. This new chipset present a big jump in the architecture and performance improvements.
The Dimensity 9400 is comprised of a single-core ARM Cortex-X925 running at 3.63GHz, a triple core Cortex-X4 at 3.3GHz, and quad core Cortex-A720 at 2.4GHz.
You will have noticed that previous flagship chipsets (Dimensity 9300 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) carry a single Cortex-X4 processor as the performance core. In the Dimensity 9400, this is replaced by a more improved Cortex-X925 running at a higher clock speed of 3.63GHz. Likewise, there are 3 more Cortex-X4 here at 3.3GHz. That new combination alone will give us a good sense on how this new chipset will perform.
Indeed, our own benchmark tests showed scores that we’ve never seen before. We start off with the Antutu benchmark. The Dimensity 9400 got a score of over 2.7 million points with all sub-scored showing big improvements vs the Dimensity 9300 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
vivo claims the base X200 variant gets the highest Antutu score of a little over 3 million points.
The X200 Pro uses a UFS 4.0 storage technology and is on par with other flagships so the scores are expected to be in the same vicinity.
Next, we have GeekBench 6 CPU benchmark. The Dimensity 9400 got a single-core score of 2,741 and a multi-core score of 8,363.
As for the Mali-G925 Immortalis MP12 GPU, we used GeekBench GPU benchmark and got a score of 20,720 points in OpenCL and 22,284 points in Vulkan.
All these results definitely puts the Dimensity 9400 at the top of the ranks of flagship chipsets.
