The Taiwanese semiconductor company, MediaTek, has announced a new mobile processor today at its annual summit. The Dimensity 700, as the chipset is officially called, joins the Dimensity family of 5G mobile chipsets.

The spec sheet for the processor says it is a 7nm octa-core chipset with a 2+6 CPU core arrangement. The Dimensity 700 5G has 2x Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The GPU is a Mali-G57 MC2 clocked at 950MHz.

The chipset also has 5G-CA (2CC), support for Dual 5G SIM (Dual SIM Dual Standby), SA and NSA modes, and MediaTek 5G UltraSave. Other features include support for UFS 2.2 two-lane storage, up to 90Hz refresh rate, up to 2520 x 1080 resolution, up to 64MP cameras, real-time bokeh in portrait previews, and night shot enhancements. It also has multiple voice assistants support, support for dual-frequency GPS, India’s NavIC, and Bluetooth 5.1.

MediaTek says the new chipset brings 5G to even more phones, so we can expect it to appear in phones priced under $250. It is expected to appear in phones, starting early next year
