Oppo Find X8 Pro with Dimensity 9400 beats iPhone 16 Pro in Genshin Impact benchmark
The Dimensity 9400 was officially unveiled in China today. It's MediaTek's first 3 nm chip and the second flagship SoC with no efficiency cores. The company promised 35% better single-thread and 28% faster multi-thread performance compared to the predecessor. Its GPU is also said to be 41% better than the last-gen SoC.
Now that the chipset is official, there will be a new wave of next-gen flagship phones. The Oppo Find X8 series will be among the first lineups to feature it, and the gaming performance of the Find X8 Pro has just been tested. Chinese outlet WhyLab has pitted the Dimensity 9400 phone against the iPhone 16 Pro, and as the detailed performance analysis shows, the MediaTek flagship can beat the Apple A18 Pro in Genshin Impact.
In a thirty-minute run, the Oppo Find X8 Pro had an average FPS of 60.44, while the iPhone 16 Pro averaged at 47.48 FPS. The comparison chart also shows that the Dimensity 9400 phone was able to offer a fairly smooth experience throughout the session, while the A18 Pro device had many occasional dips.
Of course, the iPhone 16 Pro renders the game at 864p, while the Find X8 Pro renders it at 810p. Although the Dimensity 9400 phone has a slight advantage due to the lower render resolution, the fact that it could offer stable 60 FPS throughout the session is quite impressive.
WhyLab has also compared the Dimensity 9400 with the 9300+ in other games. These comparisons show that the new flagship SoC consumes less power than its predecessor, which backs up MediaTek's claim that the new chip is more efficient.
