MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e is the brand’s newest silicon slice for smartphones. Built on TSMC’s third-gen 4nm process, this chip uses an All Big Core CPU architecture—four Arm Cortex-X4 cores clocking in at 3.4GHz, plus another four Cortex-A720s running at 2GHz. Graphics are handled by a 12-core Immortalis-G720 GPU, complete with hardware-level ray tracing. So, whether you’re gaming, multitasking, or just flexing your device, the 9400e is expected to bring the heat.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e features the new APU 790, which is said to bring generative AI muscle to the device. This translates to on-device support for LLMs like DeepSeek-R1-Distill, Qwen1.5B, Llama 7B and 8B, Gemini Nano with multimodal magic and LLaVA-1.5 7B.
For connectivity, it’s loaded – Wi-Fi 7, 5G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS and NavIC— on tap. It also supports Bluetooth pairing up to 5km away (line of sight, of course). Camera-wise, the 9400e can handle a 320MP snapper and record video at up to 8K/30fps or 4K/60fps.

Word on the street is that the upcoming Realme GT 7, slated for launch on May 27, will be one of the first devices to have the Dimensity 9400e under the hood. Not far behind, OnePlus may also be jumping on the bandwagon with its Ace 5 Racing Edition (possibly dubbed the Ultra), which is tipped to debut in China.
