MediaTek on Tuesday introduced its Dimensity 9300+ chipset which is claimed to offer improved clock speeds. It is designed to support on-device generative AI processing with a broader support to LLMs.
Built on TSMC’s third generation 4nm process, the chip packs one Arm Cortex-X4 core operating at up to 3.4 GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores. The Dimensity 9300+ offers improved on-device AI processing capability. The APU 790 AI engine in Dimensity 9300+ supports LLMs with one billion, 7 billion, and 13 billion parameters.
The chipmaker claims that the new chipset can run LLMs with seven billion parameters at 22 tokens per second. Dimensity 9300+ integrates a second generation hardware ray tracing engine with an Arm Immortalis-G720 GPU that could potentially give gamers fast ray tracing experience at a 60 FPS, along with console-grade global illumination effects.
The chip also leverages MediaTek’s latest HyperEngine technologies and MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology (MAGT) for further gaming enhancements.

The chip is capable of improving WiFi/Cellular dual-network concurrency. The chipset features the company’s Imagiq 990 ISP that offers 18-bit RAW processing, Dimensity 9300+ enabling improved photography and videography across lighting conditions.
Imagiq 990 has a built-in AI Semantic Analysis Video Engine to support advanced AI videography features including 16 scene segmentation with real-time video capture to reduce noise, increase brightness, and enhance colors.
Dimensity 9300+ includes a 5G R16 modem designed with AI situational awareness which supports 4CC-CA Sub-6GHz with up to 7Gbps downlink.
“The Dimensity 9300+ will help us continue to build a rich ecosystem of generative AI applications thanks to the chip’s broad LLM support and on-device LoRA Fusion,” said JC Hsu, Corporate Senior Vice President at MediaTek.
