MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity 9400+, its most advanced 5G smartphone chip to date, delivering significant upgrades in speed, AI, gaming, and connectivity. According to Dr. Yenchi Lee, general manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit, the chip is poised to redefine both personal and professional mobile experiences.
Key enhancements include a boosted Arm Cortex-X925 CPU clocked at 3.73GHz, setting new Android performance benchmarks. For businesses and households increasingly relying on AI-powered tools, the new NPU 890 with Speculative Decoding+ offers a 20% increase in AI processing speed and supports efficient on-device inference with popular models like DeepSeek-R1-Distill.
Gamers benefit from a 12-core GPU with next-gen rendering features and power-saving technologies that improve frame rate efficiency by up to 40 percent. Meanwhile, connectivity leaps forward with a 660 percent increase in direct Bluetooth range—up to 10KM line-of-sight—enabling off-grid communication without cellular service.
For navigation, the addition of Beidou satellite support ensures 33% faster location fixes, enhancing reliability even in areas without network coverage.
Dr. Lee emphasized that these advancements will have “profound impacts on the way people interact with mobile technology—whether for business productivity, remote communication, or immersive entertainment.”
