December 23, 2024 - MediaTek announced the Tenguet 8400 5G All-Big-Core Intelligent Body AI chip. Tenguet 8400 inherits many of the advanced technologies of Tenguet's flagship chipset, and is the first to empower the high-end smartphone market with an innovative all-big-core architectural design, and delivers superior generative AI performance to provide a smart-body AI experience for high-end smartphones.

Dr. Robin Lee, General Manager of MediaTek's Wireless Communications Business Unit, said, “With the same all-big-core architecture design as the Tenguet flagship chip, the Tenguet 8400 delivers impressive performance and power efficiency, reinterpreting the breakthrough experience of high-end smartphones. In addition, the Tenguet 8400's outstanding generative AI and intelligent embodied AI capabilities will help end devices bring cutting-edge AI technology to a wider public.”

The Tenguet 8400's all-big-core CPU consists of 8 Arm Cortex-A725 cores up to 3.25GHz, delivering a 41% increase in multi-core CPU performance compared to the previous generation. With precise energy-efficiency control technology, the Tenguet 8400 CPU's multi-core power consumption is reduced by 44% compared to the previous generation, helping the terminal's battery life last longer.

Tenguet 8400 is equipped with Arm Mali-G720 GPU, which delivers 24% higher peak GPU performance and 42% lower power consumption than the previous generation. In addition, the Tenguet 8400 supports advanced frame interpolation technology and the MediaTek StarSpeed engine, providing gamers with a smoother and more silky-smooth gaming experience, as well as a stable frame rate and low power consumption.

Tenguet 8400 integrates MediaTek's flagship AI processor, NPU 880, which combines a full large-core CPU with powerful NPU co-computing to provide high-speed generative AI task processing capability. It supports the world's mainstream Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), which can provide users with innovative end-side generative AI experiences such as AI translation, rewriting, contextualized intelligent replies, call summarization, multimedia content generation, and more.

The Tenguet 8400 also features the MediaTek Tenguet AI Dimensity Agentic AI Engine, which was first unveiled in the Tenguet 9400 flagship chip, empowering developers to create refreshingly new Dimensity Agentic AI applications that reconfigure traditional AI apps into more advanced Dimensity Agentic AI applications. The new Embodied AI apps can anticipate user needs and provide personalized intelligent services, and the MediaTek Tenguet AI Embodied Engine will help accelerate the transition to Embodied AI for a wider range of mobile devices.

The TENGUET 8400 is equipped with MediaTek's Imagiq 1080 ISP image processor and a built-in QPD zoom hardware engine, which captures more light for faster and more accurate focusing and supports higher resolution image capture. In addition, the MediaTek TENGUET 8400 supports TENGUET Full Focal Length HDR technology, which allows video creators to easily utilize different focal lengths to capture different scenes.

Other features of the MediaTek Tenguet 8400 include:

A 5G-A modem with Triple Carrier Aggregation (3CC-CA) support for network downlink rates up to 5.17Gbps.

Supports network quality monitoring system, which can monitor the connection quality of the gaming network in real time, and intelligently select 5G or Wi-Fi network to realize higher network speed and lower power consumption.

Supports 144Hz WQHD+ display and folding dual-screen devices.
