Today, MediaTek announced the new Dimensity 8200. Following the normal trend for these releases, this is an incremental upgrade to the already excellent MediaTek Dimensity 8100.
It is basically the same chipset but with the Cortex-A78 running at improved frequencies. In this case, MediaTek has provided the chipset with a moderate bump in performance, they have also done things slightly differently than normal.
The existing Dimensity 8100 has the cores A78 cores, all running at 2.85 GHz. The press release indicates that the cores of the Dimensity 8200 run “up to” 3.1 GHz. But, numerous leaks have confirmed that the A78 will be divided into two clusters – 1x Cortex-A78 clocked at 3.1 GHz and 3x Cortex-A78 running at 3.0 GHz.
It will then retain the same four efficiency Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0 GHz. The GPU will also be the same Mali-G610 MC6.
The chipset should feature in the upcoming iQOO 7 SE and an unnamed Xiaomi Redmi phone.
The press release states that the Dimensity 8200 will power 5G devices launching in the global market starting in December 2022.
Full Press Release
MediaTek today announced the Dimensity 8200, the company’s newest chipset for premium 5G smartphones. Smartphones powered by the Dimensity 8200 will offer flagship level experiences – including connectivity, gaming, multimedia, displays and imaging – at a more accessible price point. Built on the 4nm-class process, the new chipset delivers unparalleled power efficiency. It also integrates an octa-core CPU with four Arm Cortex-A78 cores operating at up to 3.1 GHz, along with a powerful Mali-G610 graphics engine, for better performance across applications.
To enhance gaming performance, the chipset takes advantage of MediaTek’s HyperEngine 6.0 gaming technologies so users can enjoy smooth high framerate gameplay without suffering connection drops, FPS jitter, or gameplay hiccups. MediaTek’s Intelligent Display Sync 2.0 technology intelligently adjusts the display refresh rate according to the game frame rate detected, which helps provide smoother viewing experiences.
“The MediaTek Dimensity 8200 will enhance the gaming experience on premium 5G smartphones, and will deliver smoother gameplay with higher framerates, impressive graphics, and seamless connectivity,” said CH Chen, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit. “Plus, the Dimensity 8200’s power efficiency enhancements make it so consumers don’t have to sacrifice battery life to enjoy super high performance.”
Powered by a flagship-level Imagiq 785 ISP, the Dimensity 8200 is capable of supporting 320MP photos and capturing true-to-life 14-bit HDR video on up to three cameras simultaneously, and recording cinematic video by double camera capture for the most natural bokeh effect. The chipset also has exceptionally fast AI-noise reduction to retain fine details, particularly in low-light environments.
The fully integrated 5G modem in the Dimensity 8200 features the latest 3GPP Release-16 standard technology and 3CC carrier aggregation to amplify sub-6GHz performance. The chipset also supports tri-band Wi-Fi 6E for faster wireless connectivity, while the 2×2 antenna ensures improved performance and connection reliability.
Additional features of the Dimensity 8200 include:
- Powerful AI processing unit to maximize the efficiency of dedicated AI tasks and fusion processing.
- Ultra-efficient Vulkan SDK to provide faster and more effective ray tracing effects.
- Support for brilliant 120Hz WQHD+ and 180Hz Full HD+ displays.
- Immersive viewing experiences with HDR10+ Adaptive support, 4K AV1 media decoding, and AI SDR-to-HDR video playback.
- Incredible audio quality with Bluetooth LE Audio technology and Dual-Link True Wireless Stereo Audio.
