OnePlus and MediaTek have jointly announced a new strategic partnership centred on gaming for China. The information was shared through official channels, confirming that the two companies are working closely on a flagship chipset aimed at improving gaming performance. While the specifics are yet to be officially detailed, the official poster rolled out by the brand confirms the May 14 launch. Most likely, the rumored Dimensity 9400e SoC is expected to go official on the said date.

Dimensity 9400e: What to expect?

The Dimensity 9400e chipset is said to be a refined version of the Dimensity 9300+, bringing enhanced performance for gaming and multitasking scenarios. The partnership aims to bring smoother frame rates and better thermal performance, especially for titles demanding high GPU loads. It is expected to rival Qualcomm’s chip – the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.

According to industry speculation, the Dimensity 9400e could serve as a bridge between the current flagship and the next-generation Dimensity 9500 series. The chip will debut first on OnePlus phones, though Vivo and other brands are also expected to adopt it. It is speculated that the upcoming phones, such as the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing, Vivo X300 Pro Mini, Vivo X200 FE (global), Realme GT 7 (global), Realme Neo 7 Pro, and OnePlus Nord 5 (global), will feature the new chip.

The new “Wind Tunnel Gaming Core” embedded within the chip is believed to optimize system resources dynamically based on in-game conditions. This feature is aimed at delivering consistent gaming performance, especially in competitive titles. This move also shows OnePlus’s growing focus on mobile gaming as a key product differentiator.

As mentioned above, the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition will feature Dimensity 9400e. With the new chip onboard, the device is expected to rival the likes of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4-powered iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro and Redmi Turbo 4 Pro in China.

The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra, which is expected to launch alongside the Ace 5 Racing Edition, is likely to house the more powerful Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset. The new Ace 5-series phones are expected to debut this month in China.
