In the last two years, MediaTek has exploded in popularity, and it is currently the largest tech giant for devices as well as Televisions. This has all been achieved by offering low-cost 5G-ready technologies. Dimensity 8000, Dimensity 8100, and Dimensity 1300 are the three main chips to be released by MediaTek super soon.

We’ve already heard speculations regarding a OnePlus cellphone with the Dimensity 1300 processor.

The Dimensity 1300 is very close to the Dimensity 1200 except for the improved NPU (Neural Processing Unit) performance that offers more number-crunching power for night mode and HDR processing with AI.

MediaTek has announced the all-new Dimensity 8000 series 5G Chipset targeting flagship 5G handsets, and Dimensity 1300 targets mainly mid-budget segments. It’s a 5G processor that would offer fine performance in the forthcoming mid-range devices, and that’s built on TSMC’s 6nm technology.

The HDR-ISP (Image Signal Processor) on the Dimensity 1300 supports a maximum of 200MP or 32MP+16MP if there’s a dual-camera setup.

MediaTek’s HyperEngine 5.0 offers a perfect combination of productivity and endurance for enhanced performance in gaming and everyday usage situations. It includes new AI improvements that improve night imagery and HDR prowess for enhanced image precision.

It claims to support video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160; memory support LPDDR4x coupled with a maximum capacity of 16GB. Moreover, it comes with the storage support of UFS 3.1, video encoding support of H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP-9, and AV1. If we talk about display support, it claims to support a maximum resolution of 2520 x 1080 along with a maximum refresh rate of 168Hz.

To assist the newest AI technologies, the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 includes an octa-core CPU with an ultra-core Arm Cortex-A78 clocked up to 3GHz, three Arm Cortex-A78 super cores clocked up to 2.6GHz, and four Arm Cortex-A55 efficiency cores clocked up to 2GHz, as well as an Arm Mali-G77 MC9 GPU and MediaTek APU 3.0.

The Dimensity 1300 has an improved six-core APU 3.0’s AI benchmark results that can offer up to 10% of further AI workloads. This Chip additionally features 4K HDR Video with 3-Exposure Fusion coupled with MediaTek 5G UltraSave power-saving optimization suite if you are the one using 5G networks routinely.

In the very first quarter of 2022, handsets would be expected to be fueled mostly by Dimensity 8100, Dimensity 8000, and Dimensity 1300, ushering in a new era of fantastic 5G devices from some of the nation’s finest smartphone brands.

Conclusion

The processor appears to be quite intriguing, and I believe it will significantly improve the gameplay and other experiences. I should state that MediaTek has done an excellent job at considering all of a user’s requirements. I’m looking forward to the new devices that are rolling out. Are you as enthusiastic as I am about this?
