Following many months of rumors, leaks, and speculation, earlier today MediaTek made the Dimensity 9400 official. The company's new top of the line chipset promises to be a mighty competitor to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and this has already been proven by its result in the AI Benchmark.

It used a lower class of chipset too, Dimensity 8200 instead of the flagship Dimensity 9200+ inside the V40...
