Dimensity 9400+ features top performance and all-out AI support
All power is the essence of today’s All Big Core design found in modern chipsets. Rather than pairing a group of powerful cores with efficiency ones, the current crop of processors stack power-oriented ones all throughout. Such is the case again with MediaTek’s newest flagship processor, the Dimensity 9400+.
The new processor mixes both performance and the world’s most advanced AI. On the power side, the Dimensity 9400+ features an All Big Core design consisting of a 3.73GHz Arm Cortex-X925 core, three Cortex-X4, and four Cortex-A720 cores.
On the AI side, the processor comes with the MediaTek NPU 890. This means that the chipset can support the world’s biggest LLMs. It comes with a built-in Dimensity Agentic AI Engine, which can turn traditional AI applications into more advanced agentic AI ones.
If that’s not enough, the Dimensity 9400+ also comes with a 12-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU. The biggest feature is opacity micromap support, which can make detailed game elements, like hair and foliage, perform more smoothly without impacting performance.
Additionally, the MediaTek Imagiq 1090 enables HDR video capturing across all zoom levels, so you can maintain great color reproduction even from afar. The Smooth Zoom technology can easily capture moving subjects without loss of detail.
For connectivity, it can support phone-to-phone direct Bluetooth connections of up to 10km away, BeiDou satellite connections, and Wi-Fi 7.
The first smartphones carrying the Dimensity 9400+ comes later this month. The chipset maker has not confirmed a full list of brands which will have the chipset first.

The iPhone 18 might sell out for an unexpected reason
The ongoing shortage might play a part in the phone selling out earlier than expected.
An iPhone selling out is not news. Because of how popular the phones are, it’s within the realm of probability that Apple runs out of stock at some point. According to a new report, this year won’t be any different… but it’s for an entirely different reason.
First reported by analyst Tim Culpan, Apple is reportedly struggling to meet its demand for semiconductors for the iPhone 18 and the foldable iPhone. The ongoing memory shortage is cutting off Apple’s ability to deliver the required supply of smartphones in a timely fashion. The report even claims that TSMC, which helps produce the iPhone, is sitting on a shipment of processors, worth US$ 1 billion, that don’t have memory chips.
Now, Apple is still confident that it can weather the launch. However, if the shortage persists, the iPhone 18 generation will likely sell out much more quickly than expected.
It’s an interesting time for Apple to experience such a shortage. It’s been heavily rumored that the company will launch its very first foldable phone next month, creating a new market for the brand. Apple definitely wants this attempt to succeed after the tepid response to its last new product, the Vision Pro.
