The Galaxy A56 is getting an enormous efficiency improve because of the Exynos 1580 chip. Nevertheless, it isn’t as highly effective as MediaTek’s new higher mid-range chip. It has introduced the extraordinarily highly effective Dimensity 8400.

MediaTek Dimensiy 8400 chip has solely high-performance CPU cores

The Dimensity 8400 is MediaTek’s first mid-range chip to function high-performance CPU cores solely, just like the Dimensity 9400. Made utilizing TSMC’s 4nm course of node, it options eight ARM Cortex-A725 CPU cores, one clocked at 3.25GHz, three operating at 3GHz, and the remaining clocked at 2.1GHz.

MediaTek claims its new chip has 41% quicker multi-core efficiency. It additionally claims it makes use of 44% much less peak energy. It has 2x extra L2 cache, 50% extra L3 cache, and 25% extra system-level cache (SLC).

The Mali-G720 MC7 GPU contained in the Dimensity 8400 runs at 1,300MHz, providing greater than 2.3 TFLOPS of graphics efficiency. That’s 24% extra highly effective than the Dimensity 8300. Its show sign processor (DSP) can drive QHD+ decision screens at a 144Hz refresh charge.

Much like many flagship processors, the Dimensity 8400 is appropriate with quad-channel 16-bit LPDDR5X DRAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The MediaTek Imagiq 1080 picture sign processing (ISP) part contained in the Dimensity 8400 is appropriate with as much as 320MP digicam sensors. It could possibly concurrently seize and course of frames from three 32MP digicam sensors. It could possibly additionally file as much as 4K 60fps HDR movies from all its cameras.

The MediaTek NPU 880 is 20% quicker than the NPU contained in the Dimensity 8300. It has an built-in 5G modem with as much as 5.17Gbps peak obtain speeds. Different connectivity options embody a number of GNSS protocols, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB 3.2 Kind-C port.

Dimensity 8400 vs. Exynos 1580

Whereas the Exynos 1580 is a enormous leap from the Exynos 1480, its CPU efficiency remains to be nowhere near that of the Dimensity 8400, a minimum of theoretically.

The GPU contained in the Dimensity 8400 ought to be as highly effective because the one contained in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. That makes it way more highly effective than the GPU contained in the Exynos 1580, which is just as highly effective because the Snapdragon 888.

If Samsung desires to be aggressive within the mid-range phase, it must do significantly better subsequent yr, probably with the Exynos 1680.
