Last month, MediaTek released a teaser of its upcoming high-end chipset. It is a 6nm SoC with 3GHz Cortex-A78 CPU. Rumors are rife that it could be the MediaTek MT6893 that appeared in recent reports. The chipset is likely to go official at some point this month. Ahead of the launch, the MT6893 has appeared on AnTuTu benchmarks to reveal its performance and key specifications

In the screenshot below, the MT6893 SoC can be seen powering a prototype unit that is mentioned as “alps.” The listing reveals that the chipset features 4 x Cortex-A78 CPU and 4 x Cortex-A55 CPU that clocks up to 3GHz. For graphics, the SOC is equipped with a Mali-G77 MC9. The chipset supports LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and at least a 90Hz refresh rate. The alps device is seen running on Android 11 OS.

The “alps” has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. The device scored 175,351 in the CPU test, 235,175 in the GPU test, 123,535 in the memory test, and 88,348 in the UX test. It has scored an average benchmarking score of 622,409. The SoC was spotted at Geekbench with 4108 single-core test scores and 11204 multi-core test scores.

It appears that the high-end chip by MediaTek is capable of delivering performance similar to the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. Rumors have it that apart from the MT6893, the Taiwanese chipmaker is also working on its variants such as MT6891 and MT6895.

These SoCs are expected to arrive in the market with Dimensity branding. At present, there is no information available on the phones that will be powered by the upcoming Dimensity chipsets.

It was revealed in October that MediaTek is working on MT6893 and MT6891 chipsets with Cortex-A78 CPU core. Last week, an engineering product driven by the upcoming MT6893 SoC had appeared at Geekbench. It recorded 4108 and 11204 in the single-core and multi-core tests of the benchmarking platform, respectively. A reliable tipster from China has shared key details of the MT6893 chipset.

According to the tipster (via), the MediaTek MT6893 is a 6nm chipset manufactured by the Taiwan-based TSMC chipmaker. The SoC has 1 x Cortex-A78 CPU core working at 3.0GHz, 2 x Cortex-A78 CPU cores ticking at 2.78GHz, and 4 x Cortex-A55 CPU core clocking at 2.0GHz. The SoC as Mali-G77 to take care of graphics. There are speculations that there could be two variants of the chipset.

The Geekbench listing suggests that the performance of the MT6893 appears to be better than the Dimensity 1000+, which is the most powerful Dimensity chipset currently. A comparison of the MT6893 powered engineered unit and the Snapdragon 865 powered OnePlus 8 shows the performance of the MediaTek chip is close to Qualcomm’s SoC.

The Dimensity 1000+ that was designed to power high-end phones arrived with support for LPPDR4x RAM and UFS 2.0 storage. Hopefully, the Dimensity MT6893 chip will arrive with support for LPPDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage. The MT6893 is expected to break soon. At present, it is unclear which company will launch the first MT6893 powered smartphone.

In related news, MediaTek took off covers from the Dimensity 700 chipset last week. It is designed to power affordably priced 5G phones. Fresh information reveals that it could be seen on the upcoming Huawei phone that has a CDL-AN50 model number.

The post MediaTek MT6893 6nm chipset’s key specifications leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this week, MediaTek teased the arrival of a new 6nm chipset. The Taiwan-based company revealed that it is a premium platform that features Cortex-A78 cores that work at 3.0GHz. The company is yet to confirm its final product name and other details. Today, a reliable tipster from China shared the specs of an unannounced MT6893 chipset. The same SoC has also appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Probably, it could be the same chip that MediaTek is planning to launch soon.

The leak reveals that the MediaTek MT6893 is an octa-core processor that includes a single Cortex-A78 core working at 2.8GHz, a triple Cortex-A78 core ticking at 2.6GHz, and a quad Cortex-A55 core working at 2.0GHz. The SoC is equipped with a Mali-G77 MC9 CPU for handling graphics. These specs suggest that the MT6893 will offer better performance than the existing Dimensity 1000+ chipset.

The tipster claimed that the frequency of the MT6893 is the same as the Exynos 1080 that went official earlier this week. As mentioned above, MediaTek’s upcoming premium chipset can clock up to 3.0GHz. So, there could be two versions of the chipset or its frequency could be increased to 3.0GHz at launch.

The MT6893 chipset’s Geekbench listing reveals that it has scored 4108 in the single-core test and 11,204 in the multi-core test. The listing seems to belong to a testing device that is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS. The base frequency of the SoC is mentioned as 2.0GHz.

The MediaTek MT6893 is expected to go official before the end of this year. The Taiwanese company is also rumored to be working on another chipset that has a model number MT6891. It is likely that both chipsets may go official together in the coming weeks.

In related news, MediaTek recently announced the Dimensity 700 mid-range chipset. Alongside it, the company also unleashed the 7nm MT8192 and 6nm MT8195 chipsets for forthcoming Chromebook with high-end specs.

The post Upcoming MediaTek MT6893 6nm chipset benchmarked, key specs revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

MediaTek has had a really good year, if I may so. The Taiwanese semiconductor company’s current offering of mobile processors powers several devices announced this year. Its Dimensity series can also be said to have made a significant contribution in pushing 5G phones into the hands of a lot more people.

If you are wondering what new chipsets MediaTek has cooking in its oven, The Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, has revealed some few details of two new processors.

The two chipsets are the MT6893 and MT6891 and they will be 5nm and or 6nm processors according to him. The two chipsets will be high-performance processors as they feature the more powerful Cortex-A78 Arm CPU core.

The Dimensity 1000+ which is currently MediaTek’s most powerful mobile processor has Cortex-A77 cores. It is also a 7nm chip. These new chips should bring significant boosts in performance as they are built on a smaller node and feature a more powerful CPU. They should also launch under the Dimensity series and with built-in 5G modems.

There is no news yet regarding when the new processors will be announced but the leaker says that development is progressing faster than last year’s chips. We expect more details will be revealed in the weeks leading up to their announcements.
