MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Chipset Confirmed to be Optimised for On-Device AI Tasks
The highly anticipated MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset is set to be launched this month. MediaTek has confirmed that the Dimensity 9400 chipset will be optimised to efficiently handle on-device artificial intelligence (AI) tasks, particularly powered by the Gemini Nano model.
Enhanced AI Capabilities
MediaTek revealed that its upcoming flagship processor, along with other Dimensity System on Chips (SoCs), will now support Google's small language model tailored for smartphone-based workflows. This optimization enables smartphones equipped with compatible MediaTek Dimensity chips to seamlessly run AI features integrated into the Android operating system.
Integration of Eighth-Generation NPU
The Dimensity 9400 chipset boasts an integrated eighth-generation Neural Processing Unit (NPU) designed to provide hardware acceleration for AI tasks related to text, image, and speech processing.
Partnership with Google
To enable this optimization for the Gemini Nano model, MediaTek collaborated with Google. This joint effort not only showcases MediaTek's support for Google's Large Language Models (LLMs) but also underscores the company's commitment to expanding its Generative AI ecosystem and advancing Edge AI capabilities on Dimensity platforms.
Future Implications
With a growing number of chipsets being fine-tuned for Gemini Nano, it is likely that Google will extend some Pixel-specific features to other Android smartphones. Rumors suggest that the Vivo X200 and Oppo Find X8 could be among the first smartphones to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, opening the door to enhanced AI experiences for users.
