The mobile phone chip I am most looking forward to this year has finally arrived - MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. When it comes to Fa Ge's flagship, everyone's mood should be quite complicated. Two years ago, when Qualcomm was at its peak, Fa Ge turned out to occupy a huge market share . It's a lot cheaper , but after Qualcomm got back on track with 8Gen2 last year, the design of the 9200 was more traditional, and Fa Ge's advantage naturally gradually disappeared. Many of our classmates joked that Fa Ge can only stand up when Qualcomm fails. However, this year Fa Ge’s engineers have some different ideas. We can’t just be Qualcomm’s replacement forever. Is it possible to stand out through more radical innovation than Qualcomm? Hey, this time Dimensity 9300 is the answer handed over by Fa Ge . The CPU design of Dimensity 9300 is incredible. This time the CPU is no longer the traditional 1+3+4 configuration , it is even better than Qualcomm’s 1+5+2. To be ruthless, it is directly made into 4 X4 super large cores + 4 A720 large cores, no small core design, all big cores. This is too ruthless. If you don’t tell me, I will definitely treat this as a PC processor. You have to know Apple The M1, M2, and M3 are four super large + four large. Now Fa Ge puts the M series specification CPU on the mobile phone. I really admire it for actually having the courage to play like this. Specifically, it has a 3.2G X4 super large core and three A 2.8G X4 super large core and four 2.0G A720 large cores. Such a magical design is unprecedented in mobile phone chips. The CPU core configuration is so radical, but the cache has not changed much in comparison. The 3.2G X4 gives 1M The L2 2.8G X4 gives 512K. The A720 only has 256K. The L3 of the entire CPU is still 8M. It feels like the cache is quite stingy. The cache does take up a lot of space. In order to make more space for the super large core, it is understandable that there is not too much cache. Whether the cache is really sufficient requires actual testing to know the GPU part . The Dimensity 9300 uses ARM's latest G720 MC12. The good thing about G720 is that it finally changed its architecture. It is the first product of ARM's fifth-generation GPU architecture in this generation . The main design goal of the new architecture is to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The biggest change is the introduction of DVS delayed vertex shading. What does it mean? The original graphics pipeline must be strictly sequential, first do vertex shading and then fragment shading, which is what is called pixels on PC. After completing vertex shading , you need to temporarily store the calculated data into the memory until the fragment is shaded, and then take the data out of the memory. This operation of reading and writing memory will occupy a lot of cache , and DVS actually shades the vertices. A large part of the work is postponed to doing two things together with fragment shading , so there is no need to frequently read and write memory, saving a lot of memory power consumption. The more complex the game graphics are, the more geometric data, the more obvious the effect of DVS. Therefore I mean cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Specifically, on the Dimensity 9300, MediaTek has given a 12-core specification, the GPU is larger, and the peak frequency has been raised to 1.3GHz. I am quite curious about its energy efficiency. In addition, the Dimensity 9300 also uses a large number of The energy is invested in AI. The new APU 790 is also significantly upgraded. Fa Ge also demonstrated to us some applications of generative AI and Stable Diffusion drawing. Think about it. In the past, we had to use N cards to run these things. Soon we will also use them on mobile phones. It’s quite exciting to be able to run a low-precision quantized pruned version. This time, Fa Ge also sent us an engineering machine as soon as possible so that we could take a look at the performance of Dimensity 9300 in advance. I also got it as soon as After that, I couldn’t wait to start running scores. Guess how powerful its CPU is. First, Geekbench 5 single-core 1602 multi-core 7368. The single-core is weaker than 8Gen3. It is probably at the A14 level , but the multi-core directly beats all the CPUs present and dominates the machine circle . Even 8Gen3 pales in comparison. But such a powerful multi-core CPU is expected to a certain extent. With 8 large cores, can the peak performance not be strong? I believe everyone here is more concerned about energy efficiency, right? With such terrifying performance, will the power consumption be very high? Come on, let’s release the energy efficiency curve and you will know . In fact, the power consumption at this highest point is indeed very high. The motherboard’s power consumption has reached more than 16W, which is unprecedented. But when we look at the energy efficiency, the energy efficiency of Dimensity 9300 is still significantly better than When 8Gen3 is running at the peak performance of 8Gen3, its power consumption is about 11W, which is indeed much lower than 8Gen3. The lowest point of our engineering performance test this time is probably less than 3900 points in GB5. At this time, the platform performance of Dimensity 9300 It consumes only 3.5W. In comparison, the previous generation 8Gen2 and Dimensity 9200 both require at least 5W of power consumption to achieve this performance. It can be said that the Dimensity 9300 is also quite impressive in terms of mid-frequency energy efficiency. It has a huge advantage over 8Gen3. Let’s take a look at GB6. In terms of energy efficiency , the Dimensity 9300 in GB6 is also a voltage stabilizer. The advantage of 8Gen3 is not as big as that in GB5, but it is still a very good performance. Since GB6 uses all cores to complete a task together instead of running the entire CPU at all costs like GB5, it is like Tianji 9300. The peak power consumption of large-scale CPUs such as Dimensity 9300 or Snapdragon 8Gen3 is actually much lower than that of GB5, but for most consumers, this point of around 5W is more valuable as a reference. Dimensity 9300 is in At 5W, it has already run GB6 multi-core that is far stronger than the peak of 8Gen2, which is quite scary. However, I still have to remind everyone that the test here is an engineering machine , regardless of the chip quality, heat dissipation, or memory configuration, it is not necessarily the same as the final one. The retail machine is the same. For example, the engineering machine uses the full 9600MT/s memory. I can’t say whether the retail machine will be equipped with the same memory, so it is just for reference. We will also test the retail machine Dimensity 9300 that is on the market later. The performance of the CPU really lives up to expectations and is extremely unbelievable , but the GPU makes people a little worried. After all, the CPU has been working for a long time, and for the GPU we can only rely on the public version of ARM. How much improvement can ARM provide? Can it still catch up with Qualcomm’s alien technology? I was actually not very optimistic, but the Dimensity 9300 hit me hard in the face. This ARM public version GPU actually beat Qualcomm! GFXBench Aztec Ruins 1440P ran an incredible 99 frames and dominated the rankings . Compared with the 9200+ GPU, the performance of mobile GPUs increased by more than 40% . This is too scary, it is simply unbelievable! The peak performance of the GPU is so strong. I believe everyone must be curious about whether its power consumption will also be explosively high? As a result, the power consumption of this GPU is actually quite well controlled! Although the power consumption at the peak of 99 frames is still over 13W , in terms of energy efficiency it is still better than 8Gen3. As you go to lower frequencies, the lead of 9300 over 8Gen3 will become smaller and smaller , but in any case, this energy efficiency ratio The power of 8Gen3 is really beyond my expectation. Just look at its progress compared to the previous generation. When reaching the GPU performance of 9200, the power consumption of 9300 is only 5.6W, which is far lower than that of 9200. I can only say that this generation The GPU energy efficiency is really unexpected. Let’s take a look at 3DMark’s Wildlife Extreme Dimensity 9300, which is also outstanding. It uses a power consumption similar to that of 8Gen3 to achieve stronger results. Compared with A17Pro, it is even better. I don’t know where it is. And in the light tracing test Solar Bay The ultimate light tracing performance of Dimensity 9300 slightly exceeds the level of 8Gen3, but the power consumption is higher. Generally speaking, in non-light tracing scenes, the GPU of Dimensity 9300 completely beats 8Gen3 and A17Pro. Of course, the same sentence still applies. The test this time is on an engineering machine , including low-frequency GPU. This time, we are not provided with the frequency points that can be measured, so more suspense will have to wait until the retail machine is launched. In order to see the NPU performance of Dimensity 9300, we will also test it this time. I ran the AI Benchmark and found that this NPU of Fa Ge is indeed a huge improvement compared to the previous generation. The score in the AI Benchmark is even higher than that of 8Gen3. I am also looking forward to what the mobile phones on the Fa Ge platform can do at the application layer. The CPU and GPU double beat Qualcomm, and it double beats energy efficiency. Did Brother Fa get the wrong script? It's unbelievable! So how does such a powerful chip perform when running games? We have prepared several games as usual this time to try to embarrass the Dimensity 9300. Naturally, the first one to appear is our old friend - Genshin Impact. This time, the engineering machine did not suffer from resolution discomfort. The problem of configuration is the same as other tested models. It can run the standard 720p resolution . So can the Dimensity 9300 beat the powerful 8Gen3 in Genshin Impact? The answer is, yes! This engineering machine uses lower power consumption to run a higher frame rate than Xiaomi Mi 14, with an average of 59.7 frames. At 5.5W, this is the energy efficiency of Genshin Impact that has never been seen on the Android side! Although the energy efficiency is still not as good as the iPhone , the heat dissipation of the Android machine is more advantageous. This engineering machine can hold up without any frame drops. Basically, this means that even non-gaming phones can now play the original game at 60 frames without any pressure. God, with this generation, we can finally say that mobile phones can completely conquer Genshin Impact in a Wi-Fi environment. Of course, it is limited to the current game version. Since it only has 5.5W of power consumption and natural heat dissipation, there is no pressure. This engineering machine takes 30 minutes. The highest temperature after playing is only 44.6 degrees. Of course, the heat dissipation structure of the engineering machine is definitely different from that of the retail machine. We will definitely test the heating performance again on the retail machine. In addition, it is not suitable to use the engineering machine to test 5G, so the devil test will also have to wait until the retail machine. After watching Genshin Impact , let’s take a look at the performance of Honor of Kings with less pressure, 60 frames and low load power consumption. This Dimensity 9300 engineering machine is also pressed to 2.4W, which is a relatively excellent level like 8Gen3, and 120 In frame mode , this engineering machine also performs well. After being pushed within 3W, the King 120 frame 3W is the passing line for major manufacturers! In games with relatively low loads like King of Kings, the Dimensity 9300 is actually very close to 8Gen3 and not significantly stronger. However , this is not the case in some of the most horrifying games with the most loaded loads. We ran the Collapsed Star Dome Railway and found that this one The engineering machine really shocked my jaw. At the same 755P resolution, the Dimensity 9300 actually ran 59 frames at the highest image quality. It’s unbelievable! I originally thought that the 55 frames of 8Gen3 was already scary. This 59 frames is really too abnormal . And do you know what is the most awesome thing? At 59 frames, its power consumption is only 6.3W, which is not much higher than the 55 frames of Xiaomi 14. This power consumption means that as long as the heat dissipation is better, the phone can run at full frame rate when playing crashes. This was really the case before. It’s hard to imagine. I’m especially looking forward to the performance of the Dimensity 9300 retail machine in the future. Whether Fa Ge can succeed or not depends on this wave. Today’s test was so cool and exciting. To be honest, I’m obsessed with the Dimensity 9300. At first, I was just curious. I wanted to know what the energy efficiency of this full-scale nuclear power would be like. I didn’t expect it to beat the results of 8Gen3. Today, when I tested this engineering machine, it actually reached or even exceeded the level of 8Gen3 in all tests. Whether it is peak performance, energy efficiency or games, whether it is CPU or GPU, the Dimensity 9300 is very powerful. Now I want to know whether the retail version of the Dimensity 9300 is well adjusted and how good the battery life is. If these can be done well, then Fa Ge will be really good this year. Well, that’s it. This is the performance preview of the Dimensity 9300. Soon we will bring you the test of the retail machine. Be sure to continue to pay attention to our Geek Bay channel.
