MediaTek followed up the launch of its flagship Dimensity 9500 with a new mid-range chip, called the Dimensity 7360. Despite the new name, this one isn’t exactly a ground-up design. It’s more of a refresh of last year’s Dimensity 7300.
At its core, the Dimensity 7360 is built on a familiar setup of four Arm Cortex-A78 performance cores running up to 2.5GHz, paired with four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores.
That’s a fairly standard layout for this segment, but MediaTek is leaning on its software optimizations to make the difference. The chip now supports Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0, which promises smoother frame rates by balancing visuals and performance while keeping battery drain in check.
The company claims the chip can deliver up to 20 percent better frame rates and efficiency compared to rival platforms, though those numbers will ultimately depend on how it performs in real-world devices.
On the imaging front, the Imagiq 950 ISP supports cameras up to 200 megapixels, with features like real-time HDR video recording, motion-compensated noise reduction, and faster live focus processing. MediaTek says its HDR video can achieve over 50 percent wider dynamic range than competitors.
The chip also includes MiraVision 955 for improved display rendering on WFHD+ panels with 10-bit color support. The connectivity option includes 5G with up to 3CC carrier aggregation, VoNR, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth LE Audio, Dual Link stereo, and what MediaTek calls Lightning Connect, which essentially speeds up Bluetooth connections.
For AI, the chip has NPU 655, which brings support for mixed precision data types to help with efficiency in visual and camera-related tasks. It supports LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 RAM, alongside UFS 3.1 storage.
