MediaTek has traditionally been considered to lag behind Apple's A-series chips and Qualcomm's Snapdragon line in overall performance. However, Golden Reviewer conducted a comparison and the results show that the Dimensity 9400 chipset has surpassed the Apple A18 Pro in both performance and GPU efficiency.
The Dimensity 9400 is known to be built on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process, featuring an impressive array of cores: an Arm Cortex-A720 core. This configuration offers a 35% increase in single-core performance and a 28% increase in multi-core performance compared to the Dimensity 9300.
Apple's A18 Pro is also manufactured using TSMC's 3nm technology with a six-core CPU consisting of two performance cores clocked at 4.05GHz and four efficiency cores. Apple's design focuses on balancing power and efficiency, resulting in a processor that is both powerful and energy efficient.
Benchmark tests show that the A18 Pro can outperform the Dimensity 9400 in single-core performance. However, in multi-core situations, the Dimensity 9400's 8-core design can give it the advantage.
Accordingly, the tests tested the graphics performance of the Dimensity 9400 against Apple's A18 Pro, focusing on the 3DMark benchmark.
In the Solar Bay ray tracing test, the Dimensity 9400 scored an impressive 11,817 while using 11.4W, while the Apple A 18 Pro only scored 8,587 and consumed 11.1W of power. This gives the Dimensity 9400 a performance advantage of about 30% over the A18 Pro.
Additionally, in 3DMark's Steel Nomad Light and WildLife Extreme tests, the Dimensity 9400 consistently outperformed the A18 Pro while consuming less power, resulting in a performance advantage of about 40%. This underscores the potential of the Dimensity 9400, making it a solid choice for gaming and other GPU-intensive applications on Android devices.
