MediaTek Dimensity 9400 confirmed to launch with Samsung's cutting-edge 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5X memory

Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its fastest LPDDR5X chips so far. Its maximum throughput was set at 10.7 Gbps and it allowed for up to 32 GB of memory on a single package. Among other things, it was optimized for "on-device AI"- a particularly memory-intensive task. Samsung and MediaTek have now confirmed we'll get to see it in action alongside MediaTek's next flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9400.

Samsung even calls it by name, something we don't see often for unreleased products. The company's new LPDDR5X modules (16 GB package) supposedly delivered a 25% performance bump with an equal amount of power savings in tow. This, combined with a potent NPU, should allow OEMs to run more computationally-intense tasks on-device.

Samsung's new 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5X modules should also help the Dimensity 9400's Immortalis GPU with its gaming performance. It'll be interesting to see what memory Qualcomm pairs with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. An earlier rumour said it would get first dibs on LPDDR6 modules, but JEDEC's (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) timeline suggests they won't be ready until next year.
