MediaTek has unveiled the Dimensity 8400, world’s first upper-midrange Android chipset with an all big-core CPU design. The new Dimensity 8400 is an upgrade to last year’s Dimensity 8300.
It will feature an ‘all big core’ design like the high-end Dimensity 9400, which means that it doesn’t include the smaller energy-efficient cores.
