News & Reviews:   DIMENSITY

It seems that Digital Chat Station recently posted on the user’s Twitter account, stating that MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 900 chipset could perform better than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 768G chipset. With that being said, we can expect smartphones equipped with this chipset to feature a better price to performance ratio compared to phones that are still using older Dimensity 800 series chipsets.

The process node for a chipset is a huge factor in its performance and efficiency. This is why 5nm chipsets are more powerful than 7nm ones. Now that you have some context, you'll know why MediaTek's plan for a 4nm chipset is big for the company.

Rumours of MediaTek's next chipset has been around since November 2020. Allegedly, the chipset will be on par with the Snapdragon 865 and will launch on 20 January 2021. At first, it was believed that MediaTek would only launch one, but now there are hints of another chipset.

Even though Donald Trump lost his president seat, it will take a while for the US authorities to decide what to do with the Huawei ban and we aren't even sure if Joe Biden will lift it up or not. Either way, Qualcomm has been granted a business license to work with Huawei for a few weeks now and there could be a new chipset for a new Huawei phone.

After parting ways with TSMC, HUAWEI has secured a big stock of Dimensity chipsets from MediaTek, as discovered from the chip manufacturer's quarterly results. Now, it is reported that HUAWEI might soon announce a bunch of smartphones that come with MediaTek's chipsets.

MediaTek has officially announced the Dimensity 800U mid-ranged with 5G support, which uses the 7nm manufacturing process. While not much is known in regards to which smartphone will come equipped with the aforementioned chipset, MediaTek did mention that it will most likely make an appearance outside of China starting Q3 2020.

We've been seeing a few new Helio chipsets from MediaTek, but the company has been focusing mostly on its Dimensity series of chipsets. The latest one is the Dimensity 720, a new 5G chipset that we saw hints of with the OPPO A72 leak a few days ago. MediaTek has now launched this chipset, which will provide mid-range devices with 5G connectivity.

It seems that there could be a possibility that Xiaomi could be working on a smartphone that comes equipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ chipset. With that said, the aforementioned smartphone will most likely come equipped with features such as 144Hz refresh rate display, 5G support, and potentially more.
