News & Reviews:   mobile SoC

MediaTek has been getting a lot of buzz this month. It was just last week when the company unveiled the Helio G85 and Dimensity 1000+ chipsets. Now, MediaTek is gearing up for another event on 18 May 2020 for the launch of another Dimensity series chipset.

A new rumour has appeared, claiming that Qualcomm could be launching the Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset as early as Q3 2020. Back in 2018, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 855 chipset in December, before following up with the Plus version in July 2019. If Qualcomm follows this pattern, the Q3 2020 launch window could be true.

Mid-range smartphones are about to get a powerful chipset next year, with MediaTek announcing a new one. Previously, we have posted the news on how we can expect 5G MediaTek chipsets to appear within Q1 2020. But during a press conference recently when the Dimensity 800 chipset was introduced, the company has confirmed that there will be a demo for it at next year's Consumer Electronics Show.
