The new Redmi Turbo 4 from Xiaomi was presented this week the first Dimensity 8400 device on the market. The MediaTek chipset presents itself as a low-end alternative to future Qualcomm offerings like the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 4, and benchmarks have now revealed the SoC’s performance.
On Geekbench 6, the Turbo 4’s Dimensity 8400 scores 1639 for single core and scores 6500 for multiple cores. This is a disappointing improvement in peak performance over the Dimensity 8300 which scores 1548 on Geekbench’s single-core test. These numbers are consistent when the Dimensity 8400 is compared to similar chipsets. It fails to outperform rivals like the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 on the single-core test, but generally crushes them on the multi-core test.
In AnTuTu’s CPU test, the Redmi Turbo 4 scores 394,810. In comparison, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 device like the iQOO Z9 Turbo scores 374,782, while a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 device like The OnePlus Ace3V scores 369,828 for the same test.
On the GPU side, the Dimensity 8400 of the Redmi Turbo 4 obtains a score of 4,086 in 3DMark’s WildLife Extreme test, ahead of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 of the iQOO Z9 Turbo Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (3161). This result is reflected in AnTuTu’s GPU test, where the Turbo 4 scores 658,114, compared to 506,197 for the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and 472,913 for the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.
In summary, we can say that the Dimensity 8400 offers better CPU and GPU performance than these two Qualcomm chipsets. This is to be expected, of course, since the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 are both last generation. The real competition for the Dimensity 8400 will be the successors to these SoCs. Compared to Qualcomm’s flagship chipsets, the Dimensity 8400 outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in terms of both CPU and GPU, but cannot reach the level of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
