MediaTek today announced the new Dimensity 920 and Dimensity 810 chipsets, the latest additions to its Dimensity 5G family. This debut gives smartphone makers the ability to provide boosted performance, brilliant imaging and smarter displays to their customers.
Designed for powerful 5G smartphones, the Dimensity 920 balances performance, power and cost to provide an incredible mobile experience. Built using the 6nm high-performance manufacturing node, it supports intelligent displays and hardware-based 4K HDR video capture, while also offering a 9% boost in gaming performance compared to its predecessor, the Dimensity 900.
The Dimensity 920 has arrived as the successor to last year’s Dimensity 900 while the Dimensity 810 follows the Dimensity 800. Both SoC’s bring faster performance and upgrades over their predecessors. In a statement, Dr. JC Hsu, Corporate VP and GM of MediaTek said, “Delivering a boost in performance, display intelligence and image brilliance, these new Dimensity chipsets will improve user experiences and deliver advanced 5G features and capabilities to 5G smartphones.”
MediaTek Dimensity 920
The MediaTek Dimensity 920 features a set of Arm Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.5GHz and Arm Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The octa-core chipset also packs an Arm Mali-G68 MC4 GPU. MediaTek claims that the Dimensity 920 offers up to 9 percent faster gaming than the Dimensity 900. The new chip also supports LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 RAM standards and UFS 2.1 and UFS 3.1 storage standards.
The Dimensity 920 supports a single 108 MP camera or two 20 MP sensors. It also supports 4K HDR recording and can encode video in H.264, H.265/ HEVC formats. The chip also supports FHD+ (2,560×1,080 pixels) displays at up to 120Hz. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, GPS, NavIC, Bluetooth 5.2, and more.
MediaTek Dimensity 810
The MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC features a set of older Cortex-A76 powerful CPU cores clocked at 2.4GHz and a set of Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores. It also features an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. The chip only supports LPDDR4x RAM standards and UFS 2.2 storage. The chip supports a 64 MP camera sensor or two 16 MP camera sensors. Display support and connectivity options are more or less the same as those on the Dimensity 920.
