MediaTek has today announced a new mid-range processor, called Dimensity 8050. It is fabricated on a 6nm processor and features an octa-core CPU with four performance Arm Cortex-A78 processors having peak speeds of 3GHz. Although MediaTek markets it as a brand-new iteration, it’s similar to the Dimensity 1300 and 1200, architecturally. Dimensity 8050 comes supported with quad-channel memory and dual-channel UFS 3.1 storage.
Dimensity 8050 will offer “supreme gaming with reliable, fast FPS”
Built on the TSMC’s 6nm process node, the Dimensity 8050 comes with a 5G modem and an octa-core architecture. It has four fast Cortex-A78 cores, which include a Super Core clocked at up to 3GHz, and three Performance Cores at up to 2.6Ghz. There are four efficient Cortex-A55 cores as well. As mentioned, the SoC supports up to 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
The chipset boasts a powerful Arm Mali-G77 GPU with nine cores dedicated to graphics. Additionally, the Dimensity 8050 supports 4K video capture, enabling phones to take photos up to 200MP with 20% faster night photography than the previous Dimensity series. The SoC also offers manufacturers the flexibility to design smartphones with Full HD+ displays up to 168Hz or higher resolution QHD+ displays up to 90Hz. Moreover, the chip includes MediaTek MiraVision, which provides various HDR video playback and display technologies for a cinema-grade experience.
The new chipset has already made its debut on the Tecno Camon 20 Premier. The handset comes with a starting price tag of $450 and will be available in Nigeria starting today. For more details about the specifications and features of the handset, you might check our launch coverage here.
