What you need to know
- MediaTek has announced a new mid-range Dimensity 7000 series chipset.
- It’s called the Dimensity 7200 and has 2 Arm Cortex-A715 cores and 6 Cortex-A510 cores.
- It also brings 200MP imaging capabilities to mid-range smartphones.
MediaTek has a new mid-range smartphone processor, the Dimesnity 7200. This follows last year’s launch of the chipset maker’s Dimensity 9200 and Dimensity 8200 SoCs. It is also the first chipset in the Dimensity 7000 series chip family.
Using the same TSMC 4nm process as the flagship Dimensity 9200 chipset, it promises AI imaging capabilities, powerful gaming optimizations, increased 5G speeds and extended battery life.
The Dimensity 7200 is built on two powerful Arm Cortex-A715 (2nd Gen ArmV9) cores, promising clock speeds of up to 2.8GHz, paired with six Cortex-A510 cores. These are further backed by MediaTek’s AI Processing Unit (APU) called the MediaTek APU 650, which should improve AI tasks and AI fusion processing.
During the announcement, MediaTek emphasized that the new chipset will power mid-range smartphones coming this year to enhance the smartphone experience for gaming and photography.
“The MediaTek Dimensity 7000 series is essential for mobile gamers and photography enthusiasts looking for an affordable way to maximize their phone’s battery life without sacrificing performance,” said MediaTek’s director of wireless communications business. said CH Chen, Deputy General Manager. unit.
This chipset promises smoother and faster frame rates for gaming, backed by Arm Mali-G610 MC4 GPU paired with MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 technology. The latter uses AI-based Variable Rate Shading (VRS) to save power during gameplay.
As for photo features, the Dimensity 7200 is here to support 200MP photos. This is a promising example for any mid-range device, especially since we’ve only recently started seeing these sensors pop up on flagships like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. -ISP included to further aid in capturing 4K video and bring additional camera enhancements.
The latest MediaTek chipsets come with AI-based SDR-to-HDR video playback capabilities. Additionally, for displaying video, the chipset can also support mobile phones with 144Hz Full HD+ displays, including the latest standards such as HDR10+, CUVA HDR and Dolby HDR.
Additionally, the chipset highlights solid 5G connectivity and, like the Dimensity 8200, also comes equipped with a 3GPP Release-16 standard Sub-6GHz 5G modem with speeds up to 4.7Gbps. Other connectivity options include support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Bluetooth LE audio, and dual-link true wireless stereo audio for audio. The chipset also supports dual 5G SIMs with 2CC carrier aggregation and dual VoNR in supported regions.
According to MediaTek, new smartphones with chipsets are expected to hit the world soon.
