Being a premier contender for Qualcomm, the Dimensity 9000. Dimensity 8000 and 8100, MediaTek’s high-end counterparts, are about to hit the market. On March 1st, this chipset was released. As per the sources, gaming will be super-smooth thanks to TSMC’s 5nm manufacturing technology used in these chipsets. I’d like you to make yourself comfortable since we’ll be learning all about the Dimensity 8100 chipset in this article.

MediaTek Dimensity 8100

What To Expect In Terms of Gaming?

Since the announcement of the Dimensity 8100 chipset, it has been predicted to have a GPU performance that is more than 20% quicker than its predecessor, the Dimensity 8000.

How’s The Processor?

This chipset is a 64-bit octa-core CPU with four Arm Cortex-A78 processors clocked at 2.85GHz and four Arm Cortex-A53 processors clocked at 2.0GHz coupled with Arm Mali-G610 MC6 GPU.

Advancements in Battery Technology

This chipset will help you save a lot of battery life. When compared to competing chipsets, it can save up to 20% on power, allowing gamers to play for longer periods of time on a single charge.

Camera Advancements

The Dimensity 8100 supports cameras with a resolution of up to 200 megapixels. You can record films in 4K at 60 frames per second with HDR10+ and 2X lossless magnification, allowing you to zoom in and out easily without degrading the quality of an image.

While doing photography, photographers can make good use of AI-NR/HDR to their advantage. For recording videos in extremely dark conditions, this processor also comes with MediaTek’s newest noise reduction.

With the support of Imagiq 780 ISP, it also comes with AI-based anti-blur algorithms, which will result in a crisp sharp images.

You can capture front and rear cameras concurrently using dual simultaneous HDR video. Isn’t it incredible?

Expectations From 5G Technology

You’ll get the most future-proof 5G technologies thanks to an unequaled 3GPP Release-16 5G modem and the latest 5G+5G Dual SIM Dual Standby capabilities. It is integrated directly into the chipset and improves power efficiency while delivering up to 4.7 Gbps downlink output in 5G connectivity.

Did you ever wonder what the term “downlink” meant? Let me tell you that it is the signal that your cell phone receives from the nearest cellular tower.

What’s New In The Display?

Since this chipset comes with the support of both WQHD+ or Full HD+ displays at 120Hz and 168Hz respectively, smartphone manufacturers may make use of the latest WHQD+ displays, which come with refresh rates of up to 120Hz, to ensure that their forthcoming devices have flagship-level resolutions. With the chipset, a gain of 25% in performance can be seen over its predecessors.

Other Key Specifications

It features the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard, which includes a tri-band (2.4/5/6GHz) antenna and a 2x2 antenna for the lowest latency, fastest speeds, and most stable connections.

Bluetooth version 5.3 is included, as well as Dual-Link True Wireless Stereo Audio using Bluetooth LE Audio technology for a seamless audio experience on wireless devices.

It features LPDDR5 RAM (with a maximum memory frequency of 6400Mbps) and UFS 3.1 storage.

What’s Next?

This outstanding chipset will soon be found in a slew of future mid-range smartphones. According to rumors on the internet, this chipset will be used in OnePlus, Realme, and Redmi’s next smartphones. I am very excited. Ain’t you?

The Bottom Line

This chipset appears to be quite promising, and I believe it will significantly improve your gaming and other experiences. I must say that MediaTek has done an excellent job at considering all of a consumer’s requirements. I’m really looking forward to the new smartphones that are coming out. Are you as eager as I am about this?
