I'm sure they didn't increase GPU freq. For heat management purposes.

So basically the "plus version" is just a version with overclocked cores?

Yes. It's an upgrade to the cortex X4 core.

It's a shame that mediatek focus dimensity 9300 plus on camera that performance. They downgraded the Gpu, I know it still the same mhz but it no longer has a faster ray tracing process

The 9300 Plus will suffer from an increase in temperature due to raising the CPU frequency and not announcing the TDP officially. This is the reason for its small numbers compared to 9300.

Only 150mhz on one of the four Cortex-X4 cores and it's a "plus" version. Not even a GPU bump. Within margin of error on the tests. It's not like single core is important to begin with as ~98% of apps supports multicore.

Only the Prime X4 core has been boosted. Overclocking the X4 core beyond 3.00 GHz barely improves anything anyway.
