After MediaTek released the Dimensity 9300, China’s Geekerwan Geekerwan conducted tests on the engineering machine and the commercial version of vivo Performance core design. However, recent new tests have shown different results. Recently, a YouTuber shared a stress test of the Dimensity 9300. The CPU overheated and throttled in a short period of time, and the performance dropped by 46%, which seems to be a bit exaggerated.
MediaTek Dimensity 9300 suffers from overheating and throttling, and performance drops by up to 46%
Foreign YouTube channel Sahil Karoul shared his actual CPU stress test results of MediaTek Dimensity 9300 on Twitter a few days ago. It can be said to be a bit surprising. As you can see from the screenshot, this is a CPU overheating throttling in just 2 minutes. During the test, the 8 CPU cores of the Dimensity 9300 will be loaded and up to 100 execution threads will be used to test the performance. The results show that the clock speed of one core dropped to 0.6GHz in these 2 minutes, and the other cores also dropped to 0.6GHz. 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz:

The 8 cores of MediaTek Dimensity 9300 are all performance cores, with a maximum clock speed of 3.25GHz, so the performance has dropped by about 46%, which is a considerable drop. It can be seen that the lack of efficiency core in Dimensity 9300 has a huge impact. For this reason, many people think that MediaTek should consider changing back to a performance + low-power core. In this test, Qualcomm’s Sanpdragon 8 Gen 3 and A17 Pro must Will be better than Dimensity 9300:
However, I still have to say a good word for the Dimensity 9300. This is an extreme stress test. In terms of normal use, you will almost never encounter such a situation where the CPU executes a large number of times in a short period of time. You can also feel it from the actual measurement in Sahil Karoul’s video. , especially games. He also said that the phone does not feel hot even after half an hour of playing. The games are smooth and there is no lag at all:
He also shared the AnTuTu benchmark results of Vivo X100 Pro vs Vivo iQOO 12 vs Xiaomi 14 Pro. The interesting thing is that both Vivo iQOO 12 and Xiaomi 14 Pro are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, iQOO12 beats X100 Pro , but Xiaomi 14 Pro loses, so I think MediaTek and Qualcomm are evenly matched:

In any case, Android phones with these two new flagship processors have only recently been launched one after another, so who really loses and who wins, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and is MediaTek’s strategy of only using performance cores wrong? It should be clear in a while.
