MediaTek launches Dimensity 7200 chip: Qualcomm’s counterweight to the mid-range segment

MediaTek recently introduced the Dimensity 7200 chip, which is the brand’s brand new 7000 series processor. Dimensity 7200 focuses on supporting advanced AI photography features, optimizing gaming and 5G tasks, while saving energy.

Dimensity 7200 is designed under TSMC’s 4nm process similar to the flagship Dimensity 9200 chip. The processor consists of 8 cores, including 2 Cortex-A715 performance cores clocked at 2.8GHz and 6 energy-saving Cortex-A510 cores, in addition to a dedicated AI processor (NPU) for optimization. tasks that require AI.

MediaTek also leverages HyperEngine 5.0 technology that supports AI-based Variable Rate Shading (AI-VRS) to save power, intelligently optimize CPU and GPU resources, and deliver good battery life. and other upgrades for smooth gameplay. This chipset also integrates the powerful Arm Mali G610 GPU that supports quick response and maintains high frame rates. Gaming experience on smartphones equipped with Dimensity 7200 chip will be optimized.

Regarding the camera, MediaTek’s new chip integrates the Imagiq 765 image processor, supporting 200MP camera, real-time 4K HDR video recording and simultaneous video recording in both front and rear cameras. In addition, the APU supports powerful AI-Camera enhancements such as real-time portrait beautification mode.

Dimensity 7200 also supports 5G sub-6GHz network, theoretical data transfer rate of 4.7Gbps, in addition to support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and many other connection technologies…

According to MediaTek, Dimensity 7200 gives Geekbench performance scores that are superior to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, which is the latest chip in the mid-range segment developed by Qualcomm.

It is expected that smartphones equipped with Dimensity 7200 chip will be launched soon in the first quarter of this year.
