A Collaborative Vision for Excellence
Speaking at the event, Peter Dohyung Lee, Head of Product Strategy at OPPO, emphasised the significance of this partnership. “OPPO has been bringing the latest technologies to India for the past 10 years, and the upcoming launch of the Find X8 Series marks a significant milestone in our India commitment story,” he said.
Dr. Yenchi Lee, General Manager of the Wireless Communications Business Unit, MediaTek, “For many years, OPPO and MediaTek have worked together with the same mission: to continuously explore lead the development of new technologies. The Dimensity 9400 is a game-changing chipset, with its second-generation All Big Core design delivering class-leading power and incredible performance. We can’t wait for more people to experience it in OPPO Find X8 and Find X8 Pro.”
The Dimensity 9400: A Revolutionary Processor
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400, built on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, introduces a host of innovations. Its second-generation All Big Core design features one Arm Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.62GHz, paired with 3 Cortex-X4 cores and 4 Cortex-A720 cores. This setup delivers 35% faster single-core performance, 28% faster multi-core performance and 40% more power efficiency than the previous generation Mediatek Dimensity 9300i. These advancements translate to smoother multitasking, faster app launches, and seamless performance, whether editing 4K videos or switching between multiple apps.
Andy Wu, OPPO Vice President and President of the Find Product Line, highlighted the impact of this processor: “The Find X8 Series will put ultra-grade gaming, imaging, and smoothness in customers’ hands. This world-class performance is made possible thanks to our strong partnership with MediaTek. We look forward to MediaTek and OPPO continuing to propel advanced technology forward as the core driving force, bringing more innovation to global users.”
Game-Changing Gaming and Imaging
The MediaTek 12-core ARM Immortalis-G925 GPU transforms the gaming experience with up to 40% faster raytracing performance compared to the previous generation, plus PC-level features with opacity micromaps (OMM) support for realistic effects. The chipset’s powerful GPU also offers a 41% peak performance boost with up to 44% greater efficiencyi, empowering users to game for longer. This power combined with OPPO’s custom cooling system for Find X8 and Find X8 Pro ensures both can playback demanding games while delivering consistent, high frame rates even at maximum graphics settings. For photography enthusiasts, the Find X8 Series integrates MediaTek’s Imagiq 1090 ISP with OPPO’s Hasselblad Master Camera System and its the HyperTone Image Engine. This combination delivers AI-powered zoom for sharper details, improved low-light performance and HDR video, and smoother zoom between the cameras.Additionally, the chipset’s efficiency allows the Find X8 Series to consume 14% less power when recording 4K video at 60fps1. This makes it a go-to device for content creators.
Unleashing AI Capabilities
The Dimensity 9400 chipset powers advanced AI features that elevate productivity and user convenience. Its 8th Generation NPU ensures 80% faster large language model (LLM) prompt performance and 35% greater power efficiency for AI tasks.
Taking advantage of the Dimensity 9400’s powerful on-device AI capabilities, OPPO has collaborated with MediaTek to integrate Google Gemini Nano’s language intelligence within Magic Compose. In Google Messages, this feature creates context-aware replies in a range of tones across multiple languages, saving time and helping hit the right notes, with reply styles including Excited, Chill, Lyrical, Formal, Short, and even Shakespeare.
Battery Life and Connectivity: Unmatched Efficiency
The 3nm Dimensity 9400’s power efficiency, coupled with the Silicon-Carbon battery in the Find X8 Series, ensures multi-day battery life. The chipset supports longer gaming sessions and sustained performance without overheatingOn the connectivity front, OPPO’s AI LinkBoost matched with MediaTek’s upgrades to the Dimensity 9400’s connectivity suite ensures that the Find X8 series offers the best chance for an interruption-free connection, whether online gaming or uploading a video at a crowded stadium. This exemplary stability extends to Wi-Fi, with MediaTek Xtra RangeTM 3.0 delivering up to 30m greater WiFi coverage ii
