MediaTek is taking a huge leap for its upcoming mid-range products. According to the latest information, the semiconductor company is gearing to launch a new G-series chipset by mid-2022. The new mid-range offering will be the successor of last year's Helio G96, which is a dated 12nm chip.

We know that Tensor is not Google's first and only smartphone chip. Of course, the tech giant will continue to work on the next generation as there's no going back after using its own, not to mention that the chip has received a good amount of praise as well. However, we just found out the company is already on track, and it took us by surprise since the Pixel 6 series only came out last week.

It's almost time for the next-gen flagship war with the chip makers preparing their 4nm offerings for the smartphone companies. According to a Chinese tipster from Weibo, the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 2000 will be based on TSMC's 4nm process, which might give it a chance to rival other powerful contenders.

Mobile processor manufacturers like Qualcomm, MediaTek and also Apple are looking forward to getting their first batch of 4nm process to have a head start in the next-generation flagship processors fight. With that said, it is reported that MediaTek is striving to roll out 4nm-based processors before anyone this time, becoming the first to do so in the industry.

Earlier, we have seen a rumour saying that the 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ will power 2022 Android flagships. However, as TSMC is reported to start producing the chipset in Q3 2021, some might expect to see devices with the Snapdragon 888's successor by the end of 2021. Today, Redmi's product director Wang Teng has clarified that there will be no smartphones with the 4nm chip coming in H2 2021.
