MediaTek, a leading semiconductor company, has announced the launch of its latest mobile chipset, the Dimensity 8300. The new chipset is designed for premium 5G smartphones and is expected to redefine user experiences with its advanced features and improved performance.
The Dimensity 8300 is built on TSMC's 2nd generation 4nm process, which promises 20% better performance and 30% peak gains in power efficiency compared to its predecessor. The processor uses the Armv9 architecture and consists of a high-performance Cortex-A715 core with a clock of 3.35GHz. The chipset combines three cores 1+3+4, including a Cortex-X3 core with a speed of 2.8GHz, 3 Cortex-A715 cores with a speed of 2.4GHz, and 4 Cortex-A510 cores with a speed of 1.6GHz.
The GPU relies on Mali G52 MC6 850MHz, which provides up to 60% greater performance and 55% better power efficiency. The chipset also combines generative AI capabilities, low-power savings, adaptive gaming technology, and fast connectivity. It supports ultra-fast speeds with a built-in 3GPP Release-16 standard 5G modem.
The Dimensity 8300 has been tested on Geekbench with Xiaomi's upcoming Redmi K70 smartphone, revealing impressive performance scores. The device secured 1,512 single-core points and 4,886 multi-core points, showing a slight improvement over the previous Dimensity 8200 and 8200 Ultra. The Redmi K70 will also have 16GB of RAM and operate on Android 14 with Xiaomi's custom interface, HyperOS. A Pro model with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is also expected.
The Dimensity 8300 is expected to be used in various mid-range and premium phones to be released in 2024. However, some sources suggest that new phones featuring the chipset may hit the global market before the end of 2023.
