With the market demand for 5G handset soaring, the need for chips that support the newer and faster bandwidth has also increased. MediaTek is one such supplier of 5G chips with a new report suggesting its budget Dimensity 600 SoC which may launch within this quarter.
At the moment, finer details regarding the Dimensity 600 processor is still unavailable. However, industry sources close to the matter have said that it will be very competitive. This aggressiveness might be in relation to its pricing as it is expected to be placed below the Dimensity 800 series, which was already targetted towards mid range handsets.
