Chipmaker MediaTek has announced a 33% increase in its revenue from January to May this year. This comes after the release of the financial report of the Taiwanese company. Its May 2022 revenue stood at TWD 52.1 billion ($1.75 billion), slightly lower (1%) than its April 2022 revenue. MediaTek’s January-May 2022 revenue stood at TWD 247.4 billion ($8.3 billion), which is a 33% improvement from 2021. MediaTek’s May 2022 revenue also indicates that the company has had three consecutive months of TWD 50 billion ($1.68 billion) sales.

MediaTek has seen a strong sales trajectory for its Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 9000 chipsets in 2022. Several brands have hopped in on the MediaTek train due to the great capabilities of its flagship chips. Some of the popular brands using Dimensity chips in their premium products include Oppo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, and Honor. These OEMs have recently released smartphones powered by Dimensity chips.

With its very strong 5-month performance, MediaTek will likely exceed its H1 2022 target. However, it is projected that the strong sales will not continue throughout H2 2022. Revenue is expected to slow down in June due to inflation-induced price adjustments and reduced orders.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ has just been announced. It is seen as a competitor to Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It offers better CPU and GPU performance than the Dimensity 9000. The Dimensity 8000 and 9000 series remain powerful chips in their own rights and will continue to drive sales in the short term for MediaTek.

The post MediaTek reports a 33% increase in revenue this year propelled by the Dimensity 8000/9000 chipsets appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days back, MediaTek scheduled an event for January 20 to unveil its latest flagship mobile chipset. This silicon is expected to be the 6nm Dimensity series SoC, which the company teased back in November 2020. Now, ahead of its official announcement, Redmi’s GM has confirmed a smartphone powered by this chip.

Recently, Lu Weibing, the General Manager of Redmi, confirmed the arrival of the Redmi K40 series powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. Listing some key specs, he also revealed that the brand’s latest flagship smartphone series will debut in February.

Earlier today, he surprised his followers on Weibo by confirming another high-end Redmi smartphone powered by the upcoming 6nm MediaTek Dimensity SoC. His post notes that Redmi K30 Ultra featuring MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ has now reached its end of life. Therefore, a new device featuring the latest Dimensity chip will replace it in 2021.

Since he does not mention the specific time period for the launch of this handset, we believe it may only debut in the second half of the year just like the Redmi K30 Ultra. Hence, it is safe to assume that the upcoming Redmi K40 and Redmi K40 Pro will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series chip and Snapdragon 888 SoC.

Anyway, there’s still a chance for a third device featuring this new MediaTek chip in the Redmi K40 series that is set to launch next month.

That said, according to a leak, the forthcoming flagship Dimensity chip will bear the model number MT6893. It will be an octa-core processor built on a 6nm fabrication process. Its CPU will consist of 1 x ARM Cortex-A78 clocked at 3.0GHz, 3 x ARM Cortex-A78 clocked at 2.6GHz, and 4 x ARM Cortex-A55 clocked at 2.0GHz. As for GPU, it will come with ARM Mali-G77 MC9.
