The latest information leaked from the Digital Chat Station account shows that the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor will be manufactured with a manufacturing precision of 3 nm and will power advanced Android smartphones.
The leak also confirms that MediaTek intends to mass produce its new processors using TSMC's 3nm second-generation manufacturing process.
Although there is currently no conclusive evidence that this processor can provide superior performance, the same guide pointed out that there is a surprise: perhaps that surprise is that the performance of the Dimensity 9400 processor is the same as the performance of the device's fourth-generation Snapdragon 8 processor.
According to reports, the Dimensity 9400 processor will be based on ARM's CPU and GPU designs, and the new processor will rely heavily on the Cortex-X5 core. The news also confirmed that the performance of the new processor will be very strong, meaning that it will significantly outperform the Dimensity 9300 processor.
It is worth noting that TSMC has only one customer that produces chips with a 3-nm manufacturing precision, which is Apple. TSMC uses N3B technology to produce the A17 Pro processor and the entire M3 processor family, i.e. the first generation, which uses a 3-nm manufacturing precision.
Finally, the Digital Chat Station account confirmed that MediaTek will rely on a second-generation 3nm manufacturing process, which TSMC calls N3E technology. One of the advantages of this technology is that it is less expensive financially, but at the same time it has better productivity than the N3B technology that Qualcomm and MediaTek must rely on.
