MediaTek’s processor family has 3 brand new additions today – the Dimensity 1050, Dimensity 930, and Helio G99 SoC. We’ve covered the Dimensity 1050 SoC launch here earlier but do not dismiss the Dimensity 930 and Helio G99 processors as well because MediaTek is promising exceptional power efficiency from both chipsets because the company has chosen to manufacture both SoCs on TSMC’s N6 (6nm class) chip fabrication process. 

MediaTek Dimensity 930 5G

The MediaTek Dimensity 930 SoC is the successor to last year’s Dimensity 920 SoC which was found on devices such as the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ and Realme 9 Pro+. The basics of the Dimensity 930 seem to be essentially the same as last year’s offering as the Dimensity 920 features an octa-core setup with 2x ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores that can be clocked up to 2.2GHz, and 6x Arm Cortex-A55 clocked up to 2GHz. 

But what is surprisingly different here is that the Dimensity 920 last year had the same exact setup but with the Cortex-A78 cores clocked in higher at 2.5GHz. So in short, the Dimensity 930 features downclocked performance over its predecessor which could lead to better battery performance in the newer devices sporting this chipset.

But the most eye-opening highlight here is that Dimensity 930 finally supports high-end UFS 3.1 storage and fast LPDDR5 memory, a feature once only reserved for the flagship market has now come to the mid-rangers!

Connectivity-wise, the MediaTek Dimensity 930 supports True Dual 5G SIM (5G SA + 5G SA) giving users consistent 5G speeds, and the opportunity for VoNR to provide the best quality voice and video call experience from both dual SIM connections. Unfortunately, the Dimensity 930 SoC is still stuck on the older WiFi 5 standard and Bluetooth 5.2 standards, which is a shame considering Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 already supports Wi-Fi 6.

MediaTek Helio G99 LTE

The MediaTek Helio G99 is the company’s latest SoC built for affordable 4G gaming smartphones. MediaTek has finally switched over from TSMC’s 12nm node foundry over to the newer 6nm node process for the Helio G99 SoC. In turn, the new Helio G99 SoC is able to deliver 30 per cent better power efficiency and battery life for gaming compared to the older 12nm Helio G96 processor.

The fundamental core setup for the Helio G99 has also changed as well. The Helio G99 SoC is now a new octa-core processor that features 2x ARM Cortex-A76 performance cores that can run up to 2.2GHz and 6x ARM Cortex-A55 efficiency cores that run up to 2.0GHz. If this sounds familiar, it is because the octa-setup is the same found on the higher end Dimensity 930!

Connectivity-wise, the Helio G99 unfortunately does not support 5G, instead it features an essential dual 4G SIM support that provides a seamless experience with fast data services from both connections, while VoLTE and ViLTE services provide excellent call and live video experiences with faster call setup and noticeably better quality than standard calling.

The Helio G99 comes with an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU with support for LPDDR4X Memory and UFS 2.2 storage. The SoC also features WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.2 and support for FHD+ 120Hz displays. 

MediaTek has collaborated with its Android smartphone partners to bring the Dimensity 930 SoC to market as soon as Q2 2022, and the Helio G99 SoC to market as soon as Q3 2022.
