MediaTek Might Unveil Dimensity 1200, Its First 6nm Chipset, on January 20
Jan. 14, 2021After sharing plans tobring its Dimensity 800U SoCto the Indian market, Taiwanese chip-maker MediaTek is all set to launch its newest flagship chipset later in January. The upcoming MediaTek chipset will be reportedly be called Dimensity 1200 and will compete against Snapdragon 865, Qualcomm’s flagship chipset from last year.
MediaTek Dimensity 1200 Specifications (Rumored)
A Chinese leaker, dubbed Digital Chat Station, recently shared a post on Weibo. The leak details the new MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset. The leaker said that he got a glimpse at the official specifications sheet, and according to the post, the MediaTek processor will be able“to beat the ordinary frequency Snapdragon 865.”
The tipster suggests that the new MediaTek SoC will bebuilt on the 6nm process node, which will be a first for the company. Its previous-genDimensitychipsets were built on the 7nm process node. So, this means the Dimensity 1200 chipset will contain more transistors than its predecessors, and as a result, it is expected to deliver better performance and make smartphones more energy efficient.
The leak also reveals that the Dimensity 1200 chipset will include aprimary Cortex-A78 core clocked at 3.0Ghz, three A78 cores clocked at 2.6Ghz, and four additional Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0Ghz. So, the chipset is expected to deliver better speeds than its previous-genDimensity 1000+andDimensity 1000Cchipsets.
Moreover, other than the CPU upgrades, the new MediaTek SoC will featurea better 5G modemfor better networking speeds. There also will bea new Image Signal Processor (ISP)which is expected to greatly improve the camera performance.
As per the reports, following its launch, smartphone manufacturers like Vivo, Realme,Oppo, andiQOOwill be the initial adopters. So, we expect future smartphones from these companies to feature the Dimensity 1200 SoC.
