Yesterday, it was reported that MediaTek has a new flagship Dimensity processor coming soon and it will make its first appearance in an Honor tablet. The chipset is expected to launch as the Dimensity 1300T and it will power the Honor V7 Pro which we got a glimpse of yesterday too. More details of the processor have surfaced ahead of its launch.
According to Digital Chat Station, the processor will be made by TSMC and built on its 6nm node. While it will most likely have 8 cores, its CPU core arrangement is unknown. However, the source says that it will feature Cortex-A78 cores, have a 9-core GPU, and the APU 3.0 NPU.
With respect to performance upgrades when compared to the previous generation (Dimensity 1000+), CPU performance is said to have increased by 30% while GPU performance has increased by 40%. Its AI performance is reported to have improved by 82% when compared to the Snapdragon 865.
It has been reported that the Dimensity 1300T will be exclusive to Honor for a while before appearing in devices from other brands. There are also speculations that the reason it is appearing first in a tablet instead of a smartphone is because of its high power consumption. Since tablets have significantly bigger battery capacities than phones, battery life shouldn’t be a problem.
