News & Reviews:   mediatek chipset

The MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chipset has been officially announced. Built on a 6nm fabrication process, the chipset utilizes 4 Cortex-A78 cores and 4 Cortex-A55 cores. The Cortex-A78 cores actually consist of 1 3Ghz Super Core and 3 2.6Ghz Performance Cores for that jump in performance when you need it.

Just last week, it was reported that MediaTek was caught cheating in benchmarking tests. Despite that, it probably won't stop benchmark boosting which is unfortunately common in the smartphone industry. To deal with this issue, UL Benchmarks announced that over 50 smartphones powered by MediaTek chipsets have been delisted once and for all.
