MediaTek has announced two new processors today in Taiwan. The Dimensity 920 and Dimensity 810 chipsets are both 6nm octa-core processors with better performance and efficiency than their predecessors.
Dr. JC Hsu, the Corporate VP and GM of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit, said that the new chipsets are designed to “provide device makers and smartphone users with the latest innovations at more accessible price points for the mainstream market.” The chipsets bring a boost in performance, display intelligence, and image brilliance.
Dimensity 920
The Dimensity 920 is a 6nm chip with four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.5GHz and four Cortex-A55 Cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The GPU is the Mali-G68 which MediaTek claims has all of the technologies of the bigger G78 but is optimized for power-efficiency, thus extending battery life even further for gamers. According to the press release, the Dimensity 920 offers up to 9% faster gaming performance over the Dimensity 900.
The chipset can be paired with LPDDR5 and LPDDR4X memory and UFS 3.1 and UFS 2.2 storage. The Dimenity 900 also has Smart Adaptive Display support which allows it automatically adjust the refresh rate according to the game or UI action detected. The spec sheet also mentions it has a 4K video capture hardware engine and it can support up to four concurrent cameras and up to 108MP sensors.
For connectivity, the Dimensity 920 has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 5G Call and Data Concurrency 3.0 that allows for 5G gaming on SIM 1 while receiving a call on SIM 2.
Dimensity 810
The 6nm Dimensity 810 sits below the 7nm Dimensity 820. It also has 8 cores made up of four Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. MediaTek claims that it brings a 20% increase in performance compared to the previous generation. The GPU is the Mali-G57 MC2.
The chipset supports 120Hz FHD+ displays, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 (2-lane) storage, and up to 64MP cameras. The chipset also has high-end AI-camera features such as AI-Bokeh and AI-Color in collaboration with Arcsoft.
There is only Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth is version 5.1 and the peak download speed is 2.77Gbps for the modem,
The Dimensity 810 will appear in an OPPO phone soon according to a leak from last week. There is also a new Realme V-series phone coming soon that has been reported to be powered by the chipset.
