MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chokes out the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in official benchmarks
MediaTek launched the Dimensity 9400e last week as its cheapest premium chipset likely destined for sub-premium phones. That positioning in the company's lineup makes it analogous to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, but official benchmark numbers indicate it's not much of a contest at all.
As shared by MediaTek at the Dimensity 9400e launch event, the new chipset racks up a multi-core score of 8,000 on Geekbench 6.2. While no single-core score is provided, the Dimensity 9400e's multi-core performance soundly eclipses the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4's, with that chipset typically scoring around 7,300 on that same test.
The gap between the chipsets is much larger in the GPU department, even. The Dimensity 9400e hits 99fps in GFXBench's 1440p Aztec Ruins Vulkan test, while the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 hits a peak of 77 fps—indicating a 28.5% advantage for the MediaTek chipset.
While MediaTek's direct comparison between the two SoCs is a bit cherry-picked, it seems evident that the Dimensity 9400e outperforms the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 across both CPU and GPU benchmarks. Ditto the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Hands-on tests are always preferred, however, but those won't be available till later this week when the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition debuts with the chipset.
