Earlier this week, we had reported on the upcoming Dimensity 2000 series of processors being based on the latest 4nm process node from TSMC. Now, a new report has revealed that the smartphones that sport the latest high end chips from MediaTek will be launching sometime in early 2022.
The news arrives from a Weibo blogger (Via GizChina) that had also previously stated that the 4nm Dimensity 2000 chipset will be manufactured by TSMC. Although, he further he added that the Taiwanese chip making giant has also distributed some samples of the chip to partners for internal testing as well. So, in other words, we can expect the first smartphones that feature the new Dimenisty 2000 series of processors to hit the market in early 2022.
For those unaware, the new Dimensity 2000 will feature the new ARM V9 architecture along with the new Cortex X2 core. As per previous reports, the performance of the new SoC will be comparable to the upcoming flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 898/895 mobile processor that are also set to launch around the same time. Both new chips are set to feature improvements in performance along with lower power consumption.
While it is unknown what the new smartphones with Dimensity 2000 chips would cost, it is expected to be around 3000 Yuan or roughly 460 US Dollars. This is higher than last year since the new chipset is also said to be more expensive and would cost around 80 US Dollars as per some estimates. Keep in mind this is still just speculation as of right now, so stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.
