As September wraps up, the tech world is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming release of new flagship Android phones and processors in October. Two of the most anticipated processors, the Dimensity 9400 by MediaTek and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 by Qualcomm, are set to power the next generation of high-end devices. Among these, OPPO’s new Find X8 smartphone has already made an appearance in benchmark tests. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming.
OPPO Find X8: Benchmark Scores and Key Features Explored
OPPO Find X8 and the Dimensity 9400 Processor
MediaTek is preparing to launch its latest high-end processor, the Dimensity 9400, which will power several upcoming smartphones. According to rumors, the vivo X200 series will be the first to feature this processor. Followed closely by OPPO’s Find X8 series.
Benchmark tests for the OPPO Find X8 have already surfaced, giving a sneak peek into its performance. Powered by the Dimensity 9400, the Find X8 scored 2876 points in single-core and 8987 points in multi-core tests on Geekbench. While these are respectable numbers, they’re slightly below the scores of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which will power the OnePlus 13. The OnePlus 13 scored 3216 points in single-core and an impressive 10051 points in multi-core tests.
Aside from the processor, the tests revealed that the Find X8 will come with 16GB of RAM and will run on the latest Android 15 operating system, ensuring smooth multitasking and performance.

vivo X200: Lower Benchmark Scores
The vivo X200 series, also expected to feature the Dimensity 9400 processor, didn’t fare as well in benchmark tests. A model identified as vivo V2319A only managed to score 1531 points in single-core and 6168 points in multi-core tests. It’s significantly lower than OPPO’s Find X8. This suggests that the Dimensity 9400 is a powerful chip. And its performance may vary depending on the device it powers.
What to Expect from the Dimensity 9400
Also, the Dimensity 9400 will use advanced technology from TSMC’s second-generation N3 process, which promises better power efficiency and performance. The processor will feature eight cores: one powerful Cortex-X5 core running at 3.4GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 3.3GHz, and four energy-efficient Cortex-A720 cores running at 2.4GHz. This setup is expected to deliver a 40% performance boost over the previous Dimensity 9300 model.
Conclusion
So, with the introduction of the Dimensity 9400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processors, we can expect a significant leap in performance for flagship Android smartphones. While the OPPO Find X8 and OnePlus 13 are leading the way with strong benchmark results, other devices like the vivo X200 may need further optimization to match their power.
