Vivo recently officially released its annual flagship, the vivo X100 series, which includes the vivo X100 and vivo X100 Pro. The series is currently available for pre-sale, starting at 3,999 yuan (about $550). It is scheduled to be officially released soon.
Exploring the full core in collaboration with MediaTek, vivo introduced the Dimensity 9300 in the X100 series, making it the world’s first LPDDR5T smartphone. This jointly developed chip boasts a full large-core CPU, a 12-core flagship GPU, and the APU790 with a built-in generative AI engine. This integration achieves dual leadership in performance and energy efficiency, setting new standards in software and hardware synergy. With a speed of up to 9.6Gbps, the X100 delivers a flawless experience, evident in its AnTuTu comprehensive running score exceeding 2.24 million points, showcasing outstanding performance across all major cores.
The technical details of the Dimensity 9300, the chip features 8 cores, including 4 Cortex-X4 large cores with a maximum frequency of 3.25GHz and 4 Cortex-A720 large cores with a maximum frequency of 2.0GHz. Notably, the Dimensity 9300 departs from traditional mobile phone SoCs by adopting an innovative “all large cores” approach, eliminating the use of small cores in its CPU architecture.
In terms of performance specifics, MediaTek reported a 40% improvement in the peak CPU performance of Dimensity 9300 compared to its predecessor, coupled with a 33% reduction in power consumption. This significant enhancement in performance exceeds expectations, demonstrating the positive impact of a fully large-core CPU architecture. Importantly, this architecture does not adversely affect power consumption; through strategic scheduling of corresponding mechanisms and technologies, CPUs with a full large-core architecture can achieve substantial progress in energy efficiency compared to the previous generation of chips.
