MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 to Feature World’s First LPDDR5T RAM Support with Nearly 10Gbps Throughput

Rumors surrounding MediaTek’s upcoming flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9300 LPDDR5T, suggest that it’s poised to become a strong contender against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. What sets it apart even further is its exclusive support for the cutting-edge LPDDR5T RAM, a feature yet to be seen in the industry.

The Dimensity 9300 LPDDR5T is predicted to outpace its competitors by featuring not only the LPDDR5T standard but also four powerful Cortex-X4 cores. This marks a contrast with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which boasts a different core arrangement.

With its LPDDR5T support, the Dimensity 9300 excels in memory bandwidth, clocking in at an impressive 9.6Gbps. This surpasses the performance of even the fastest LPDDR5X RAM, which reaches a maximum of 8.5Gbps. It’s plausible that this new MediaTek chipset remains backward compatible with the older LPDDR5X memory standard, providing manufacturers the option to incorporate cost-effective LPDDR5X chips in their devices.

Beyond its LPDDR5T advantage, Digital Chat Station has unveiled additional specifications for the Dimensity 9300. The chipset is expected to house an innovative CPU configuration, setting it apart from its upcoming rival, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. MediaTek’s flagship SoC will likely include four Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores, omitting power-efficient cores.

While this unique octa-core arrangement could propel the Dimensity 9300 ahead in multi-threaded performance, there might be a trade-off. The absence of power-efficient cores could potentially impact the chipset’s battery life compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The ARM Immortalis G720 GPU, equipped with ray tracing support, will accompany the eight-core setup, adding further value to the package.

Although the details regarding the advantages of incorporating LPDDR5T memory remain undisclosed in the Weibo post, an earlier rumor suggests that the Dimensity 9300 LPDDR5T could offer a 20 percent performance boost over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in multi-core benchmarks. As MediaTek is reportedly planning to launch its top-tier silicon before the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, more information regarding the unveiling and the benefits of LPDDR5T support might emerge. Until then, it’s advisable to exercise patience and await further updates.
