MediaTek has officially announced the Dimensity 9400 Plus as a high-bin version of the regular 9400. Its closest rival is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which was released in October of last year.

Both chips are flagship SoCs built on the same 3nm TSMC process node—specifically the N3E variant—but have very different architectures, design priorities, and implementations.

The Dimensity 9400 Plus runs on ARM Cortex cores, whereas the Snapdragon 8 Elite has its own Oryon cores.

Let’s look at the main differences between the two, from raw specifications to on-device impact.
