This is a huge step up from the Dimensity 9200 series, which only had 1 Cortex-X3 core. The remaining cores are improved too, with the smaller Cortex-A510 completely gone, so it's 4 Cortex-X4 and 4 Cortex-A720, up from 1 Cortex X3 + 3 Cortex A715 +4 A510.
The clock is not really that big an improvement, as the 9200+ had the Cortex-X3 running at 3.35 GHz. So that's actually reduced a little bit for the Cortex-X4 at 3.25 GHz on the 9300, but of course 4 instead of 1 will make it way faster, and any IPC improvement will help too.
This is very exciting news, it's very impressive how far Mediatek has come, from being just a maker of cheap components. An image they still have against them to some degree I think. But now they are at the cutting edge, making bleeding edge SOC's.
Bleeding edge is cutting edge gone wrong.
Is Mediatek's phone WiFi as shit as their notebook WiFi (google for "mediatek wifi disconnecting" in case you're wondering)? I wouldn't want a phone with a SoC by a company that's incompetent in keeping WiFi up, no matter how fast the CPU is.
Plus almost for all media devices, there is really lack of custom ROMs.
Probably some of the best, since it is the official Arm GPU Immortalis-G720 with official Arm GPU drivers. AFAIK Mediatek has used that for a long time now, never heard about any problems with them on Android.
Immortalis is the highest end GPU from Arm, and Immortalis-G720 is the newest iteration.
