MediaTek is gearing up to release the Dimensity 9400 next month, which would also be the time when we get our very first look at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Likely nearing its imminent unveiling, a GFXBench Aztec Ruins 1440p benchmark leak has come forth, showing incredible results of the chipset. What is even more jaw-dropping is the fact that the Dimensity 9400 not only beats Apple’s A18 Pro by a significant margin but gains a lead against the M4, which is currently one of the fastest SoCs according to Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core results.
Surprisingly, Dimensity 9400 has a smaller performance lead compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 than the A18 Pro, indicating that GFXBench Aztec Ruins 1440p might be favoring Android chipsets
An ARM Mali-G925 Immortalis with 12 cores is expected to be a part of the upcoming Dimensity 9400, with tipster Digital Chat Station having shared what appears to be the silicon’s GFXBench Aztec Ruins 1440p benchmark results. In short, the chipset has obtained an impressive 134FPS for the high graphics option, with the total accumulated frames reaching 8,591 frames.
The tipster also reveals that the A18 Pro, which is currently Apple’s fastest iPhone chip, attains 72FPS, which is the exact same result that we reported last week. Going by this comparison, the Dimensity 9400 is 86 percent faster, but that is not the impressive bit here. We have learned that Apple’s M4, a desktop-class silicon that currently powers the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, is slower than MediaTek’s upcoming flagship offering, touching 127FPS.
While it is unconfirmed if the M4 shown in the screenshot is the 10-core CPU or the 9-core variant, the Dimensity 9400 has achieved something remarkable. Then again, the tipster implies that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is actually faster than the A18 Pro in GFXBench Aztec Ruins 1440p, leading us to believe that this specific benchmark is more optimized for Android chipsets than Apple’s A-series or M-series lineup.
Naturally, a single benchmark is insufficient to conclude which chipset is superior. There will always be some tasks where one chip proves to be the better performer. Additionally, we are unaware of the Dimensity 9400’s power consumption when running Aztec Ruins 1440p, so it is possible that the SoC was running without any restraint, which makes for an unrealistic scenario. Overall, we should wait for more data to pour through before we provide an impartial comparison, so stay tuned.
