MediaTek launches Dimensity 8200 chip: Upgrade performance, confront Snapdragon in the high-end segment

MediaTek recently launched a new Dimensity 8200 chip for 5G smartphones in the high-end segment. This is the successor to the 8100 series chip, upgraded in performance as well as energy-saving.

According to the announcement, the Dimensity 8200 chip is developed on a 4nm process, including 8 CPU cores, including 4 Arm Cortex-A78 cores operating at a maximum clock speed of 3.1 GHz, 4 ARM Cortex-A55 cores operating at a maximum clock speed of 3.1 GHz. clocked at 2 GHz with the powerful Mali-G610 graphics GPU, for better performance on mobile applications.

For enhanced gaming performance, the chip leverages MediaTek’s HyperEngine 6.0 gaming technologies, allowing users to play smoothly at high frame rates without connection drops, FPS drops, or hiccups when playing games. gaming. MediaTek’s Intelligent Display Sync 2.0 technology intelligently adjusts the screen’s refresh rate, depending on the game’s frame rate.

In addition to performance, the Dimensity 8200 chip also improves image processing thanks to the Imagiq 785 ISP. With this ISP, smartphones equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chip can integrate a camera with an image sensor with a resolution of up to 320MP, record video. Up to 14-bit HDR video on 3 cameras simultaneously, and capture cinematic videos by shooting the two cameras for the most natural bokeh. The chipset also supports super-fast AI noise reduction to retain fine details, especially in low-light environments.

The 5G modem is integrated in the Dimensity 8200 chip with the latest 3GPP Release-16 standard technology and 3CC Carrier Aggregation to amplify sub-6GHz performance. The chip also supports tri-band Wi-Fi 6E for faster wireless connections, while 2×2 antennas will ensure improved connection performance and reliability.

Currently, iQOO Neo 7 SE has just been introduced by vivo in the Chinese market as the first smartphone equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chip.

In the near future, many mid-range and high-end smartphones will be launched with this new processor.
