If you look at chipsets for the smartphone market, it's more or less a two-horse race between Qualcomm and MediaTek. Both companies are expected to launch their latest flagship mobile chipset later this month. Best of all, we're already getting details for the latter's new Dimensity 9300.

For the longest time, ARM-based chipsets followed the ARM big.LITTLE concept. The idea is to have a CPU with performance cores and power efficiency cores. But we could see a new MediaTek chipset later this year that abandons or changes that concept.

When it comes to flagship chipsets, the GPU is often as important as the CPU. That's especially true for gaming smartphones, which are catered to mobile gamers. For MediaTek, mobile GPU has never been an area of expertise so the company decided to partner up with Nvidia.

In mid-April, MediaTek announced that it would launch a new flagship chipset on 10 May 2023. But the Dimensity 9200+ isn't the only one that the company has up its sleeve this month. Now, we also have news of the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset.

In the span of a few weeks, major chip companies all released their latest mobile chipsets. There's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, MediaTek Dimensity 9000, and the most recent Exynos 2200. It's hard to say which chipset is the best, but new benchmarks could answer this question.

In the last week or so, we've seen some news about new MediaTek chipsets. The company already launched its flagship Dimensity 9000 last month, before confirming that a Dimensity 8000 would also come soon. Now, we also have sources suggesting which devices would be the first to feature the Dimensity 8000.

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.
