Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7400: Benchmarks and Specs

In the mid-range processor segment, the competition is fierce between Qualcomm and MediaTek. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and MediaTek's Dimensity 7400 are competing to outrank each other in CPU and GPU performance. So to evaluate which chipset is better, we have compared the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and Dimensity 7400 across AnTuTu, Geekbench, 3DMark, and more. On that note, let's check out the findings. 

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7400: AnTuTu Score

In the AnTuTu V10 benchmark, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 scored 1,077,092 points while the Dimensity 7400 achieved 922,227 points. Here, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 leads by around 17% in overall performance. However, if we look at the CPU score, the Dimensity 7400 on the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion posts slightly better results than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, powering the Realme P4 Pro. That said, in graphics department, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 delivers 2x stronger performance.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7400: Geekbench Score

In the Geekbench 6 CPU test, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 scored 1,208 in single-core and 3,464 in multi-core, thanks to newer Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520 cores. Whereas, the Dimensity 7400 achieved 1,092 in single-core tasks and 3,062 in multi-core tasks. MediaTek has packed older Cortex-A78 and Cortex-A55 cores on the Dimensity 7400, resulting in slower CPU performance.

In terms of single-core CPU performance, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is 10% faster than the Dimensity 7400, and about 13% faster in multi-core. It's clear that the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 offers a superior CPU performance in the mid-range segment. 

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7400: CPU Throttling Test

Now, to test the sustained performance of the CPU, we ran the 15-minute CPU Throttling test, and here, both processors did pretty well. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 throttled to 93% of its maximum performance while the Dimensity 7400 stood at 90%. It means that both chipsets can handle sustained workloads on the CPU for a longer duration without downclocking the CPU cores.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7400: 3DMark Score

Next, to evaluate the graphics performance, we conducted the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress test. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 got the best loop score of 1,807 and the lowest loop score of 1,793 with an amazing stability of 99.2%. In the same test, the Dimensity 7400 achieved the best loop score of 1,014 and the lowest loop score of 999 with a great 98.5% stability.

While the GPU on both processors didn't throttle under extreme workload, the Adreno 722 GPU inside the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is 78% faster than the Arm Mali-G615 MC2 GPU inside the Dimensity 7400. So for demanding graphics tasks and gaming, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 has a much better GPU over the Dimensity 7400.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7400: Speedometer 3.0 Score

Finally, in the Speedometer 3.0 benchmark which evaluates the CPU on web responsiveness, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 again did better than the Dimensity 7400. The SD 7 Gen 4 scored 11.8 points while the Dimensity 7400 got 9.28 points. It means that for web applications and web browsing, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is a better chipset.
