MediaTek has launched the Dimensity 9300+ chipset, an upgraded version of the Dimensity 9300 SoC that it launched in November 2023. The new processor offers faster CPU and AI performance as well as a bunch of additional features compared to the older model. Let’s take a look.
One of the four Cortex-X4 cores now runs at a higher clock frequency
Starting with the CPU, the Dimensity 9300+ has four Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores just like the Dimensity 9300. However, the new model has one of the four Cortex-X4 cores clocked at 3.4GHz instead of 3.25GHz on the older model. So, that should offer improved CPU performance. As for GPU, the Dimensity 9300+ has the same Immortalis-G720 GPU as the Dimensity 9300.
Faster AI performance
Going by the press release, the biggest improvement the Dimensity 9300+ is bringing over Dimensity 9300 is in terms of AI performance.
According to MediaTek, the new chipset has a generative AI engine with the company’s new NeuroPilot Speculative Decide Acceleration technology, which “not only support LLMs with 1B, 7B, and 13B parameters, with scalability up to 33B, but also run LLMs quickly and efficiently.” MediaTek further says “With NeuroPilot Speculative Decode Acceleration, Dimensity 9300+ can run LLMs with seven billion parameters at 22 tokens per second, more than 2X the rate of competitive mass market solutions.”
In addition to that, the Dimensity 9300+ has support for “the latest LLMs including 01.AI Yi-Nano, Alibaba Cloud Qwen, Baichuan AI, ERNIE-3.5-SE, Google Gemini Nano, and Meta Llama 2 and Llama 3” and “on-device LoRA Fusion and NeuroPilot LoRA Fusion 2.0 so developers can quickly bring to market new generative AI applications with text, images, music, and more.”
What does this mean for Samsung’s Exynos 2500?
Going by these specifications, the Dimensity 9300+ looks like a very powerful chipset and an excellent all-rounder. Samsung’s upcoming flagship chipset, the Exynos 2500 already had tough competition to beat with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Well, that competition has gotten even tougher with the launch of the Dimensity 9300+.
