MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Emphasizes "Big" Cores, Ditches Efficiency Cores

MediaTek has taken a different approach with its new Dimensity 9300 processor by opting for “big” cores instead of the usual big.LITTLE technology that combines high-performance cores with energy-efficient cores. This decision could make the Dimensity 9300 more competitive with flagship-class processors from Qualcomm and other companies. The chip features four Cortex-X4 CPU cores and four Cortex-A720 cores, which could give it an edge in tasks that utilize all eight CPU cores simultaneously. However, it is important to note that the CPU frequencies differ between MediaTek’s chip and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip, which has one Cortex-X4 core and five Cortex-A720 cores. Additionally, without lower-power cores, the energy efficiency of Qualcomm’s chip remains to be seen.
