Amy Guesner, the assistant vice chairman for company gross sales at MediaTek, made an thrilling announcement on Thursday. The manager introduced that an unnamed premium phase cellphone powered by a MediaTek flagship software processor (AP) will launch within the U.S. later this 12 months. The announcement was made throughout an occasion for analysts. Guesner’s announcement was the topic of a tweet posted by consultant @nirave on “X.”
One chance is that the U.S. certain premium phase cellphone to be powered by a flagship MediaTek chipset will likely be made by Motorola. The Motorola Edge (2022) featured a mid-range Dimensity chipset though the high-end Edge+ (2022) was outfitted with a Snapdragon AP. Keep in mind, this cellphone will likely be within the premium value phase so whereas it’s doable that Motorola is behind this thriller handset, it might be a brand new mannequin made particularly to tackle Apple and Samsung within the U.S.
A thriller U.S. cellphone within the premium phase will come to market later this 12 months with a flagship MediaTek chipset
MediaTek’s present flagship chip is the Dimensity 9300 AP which has a singular configuration made up of 4 excessive efficiency Cortex-X4 CPU cores and 4 efficiency Cortex-A720 CPU cores. The chip doesn’t use any low-powered high-efficiency cores for much less advanced duties. On Might seventh, MediaTek is anticipated to introduce the Dimensity 9300+ which has one sooner Cortex-X4 core. It additionally will function an enhanced AI Processing Unit (APU).
If the chipset within the unnamed premium U.S. cellphone is not the Dimensity 9300+, it might be the Dimensity 9400 SoC, which is at present being prepped for a fourth quarter launch. The Dimensity 9400 will even eschew using high-efficiency cores. One rumored configuration consists of using one Cortex-X5 high-performance CPU core, three Cortex-X4 high-performance CPU cores, and 4 Cortex-A720 efficiency CPU cores.
Most certainly, the flagship MediaTek chip for use within the premium U.S. cellphone will depend upon its launch date. If the gadget is launched nicely earlier than the fourth quarter begins in October, we would anticipate it to sport the Dimensity 9300+. A fourth quarter launch would level to using the Dimensity 9400. A earlier rumor that made the rounds final month known as for the Dimensity 9400 to be the biggest smartphone chip and stated that it might carry 30 billion transistors. To place that in perspective, the Apple A17 Professional SoC used on the iPhone 15 Professional line comprises 19 billion transistors. The upper a chip’s transistor depend, the extra highly effective or energy-efficient the chip normally is.
