It not been long since Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon 700 and 600 series processors with integrated 5G. Now MediaTek has again heated the SoC market by announcing Dimensity 800 series of processors with unified 5G modem for mid-range devices. Let’s know about Dimensity 800.
MediaTek announced Dimensity 800 series of chipset at CES 2020 that is held at Las Vegas. It was also announced that first device using this chipset will be launched in first half of 2020. Dimensity 800 comes out to be downgraded version on Dimensity 1000 which is also a chipset with integrated 5G modem but the difference here is that Dimensity 1000 is intended for flagship and upper mid-range devices.
The whole Dimensity series offers an unrivaled combination of multimedia, connectivity and performance. Both of them are made with 7nm based structure to offer ultimate efficiency along with an unparalleled performance.
Dimensity 800 supports both the modes of 5G i.e. standalone and non-standalone 5G at a frequency below 6GHz that is also known as sub-6GHz band along with two carrier aggregation (2CC CA), and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS).
The Dimensity 800 Series chipset is an octa-core SoC that brings with it four ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked up to 2GHz, and four ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked up to the same frequency. For GPU, it brings four Dimensity 1000-class GPU IP cores, combined with the company’s HyperEngine gaming tech.
While Dimensity 1000 5G comes with four high-end Cortex-A77 based BIG cores clocked at 2.6GHz and four Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores clocked at 2.2GHz. It comes with a dual cluster arrangement instead of the tri-cluster arrangements that we’ve been seeing on high-end processors like Kirin 990, Snapdragon 855 and even Exynos 990.
When it comes to graphics both the chipsets use Mali G-77 MP9 GPU to give you ultimate graphics rendering as well. They are designed to give you 4.7Gbps downlink and 2.5Gbps uplink speeds.
