MediaTek Dimensity 8100 is all set to be launched today. The chip that looks to be MediaTek’s answer to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 has already been speculated to be first featured on a Redmi device. But a new tip now has revealed the entire first batch of customers — and they all happen to be from China.
Tipster Yogesh Brar through a tweet today conveyed that Redmi, realme, OnePlus, vivo, and OPPO will comprise the first batch of OEMs to power their phones with the Dimensity 8100.

From these, the first device models will be the Redmi K50 Pro, followed by the realme GT NEO 3, and the vivo X80. There’s even an unspecified OnePlus Nord series model onboard, although Yogesh did say that the model is internally being referred to as “Nord Pro.” But a marketing name is yet to be assigned.
Coming to the chip itself, it’s in the same league as the Snapdragon 888, with scores crossing the 800,000 mark on AnTuTu. It adopts TSMC’s 5nm manufacturing process and comprises 4x 2.85GHz Cortex-A78 cores paired with 4x 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 cores. The CPU is assisted by the Mali-G610 MC6 GPU for graphics and comes with 4MB of L3 cache. Support for LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage is also present.
