MediaTek Dimensity 9300+

MediaTek’s all-big-core, 4 nm flagship chipset for smartphones and tablets.

According to MediaTek, the Dimensity 9300+ is made on TSMC’s third-generation 4 nm process and uses no efficiency cores: it has one 3.4 GHz and three 2.85 GHz Cortex-X4 cores plus four 2.0 GHz Cortex-A720 cores. The GPU is a 12-core Arm Immortalis-G720 with hardware ray tracing.

It includes the NPU 790 for generative AI work. It supports LPDDR5X/LPDDR5T memory up to 9600 Mbps, UFS 4.0 storage, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. These are the chipset’s upper limits; whether a device actually offers Wi-Fi 7 depends on the wireless hardware the maker chooses.
