MediaTek Dimensity 1050 Details
The MediaTek Dimensity 1050 SoC is a 5G chipset based on
TSMC’s 6nm architecture. It is an octa-core processor, including two ARM
Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.5GHz. It also has an integrated ARM
Mali-G610 MC3 GPU and support for up to LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Now, coming to the highlight of the chipset, the Dimensity
1050 comes as the company’s first-ever 5G chipset that combines both mmWave and
Sub-6GHz 5G to deliver up to 53% faster 5G experience on smartphones compared
to LTE + mmWave. The 5G mmWave, for those unaware, operates at 6GHz or higher
spectrum to deliver the fastest 5G speeds to users.
However, despite its higher speeds, the 5G mmWave is
unreliable as compared to the Sub-6GHz spectrum when it comes to the range or
building-penetration capabilities.
“The Dimensity 1050, and its combination of sub-6GHz and
mmWave technologies, will deliver end-to-end 5G experiences, uninterrupted
connectivity, and superior power efficiency to meet everyday user demands,” CH
Chen, the Deputy GM of Wireless Communications Business at MediaTek, said in a
statement.
Other than these, the Dimensity 1050 SoC supports the latest
Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth version 5.2 technologies. It comes with the company’s
in-house MediaTek APU 550 to support AI-backed camera features. The chipset
also supports MediaTek’s HyperEngine 5.0 gaming technology, up to 108MP
cameras, displays with up to 144Hz refresh rate, and more.
MediaTek Dimensity 930, Helio G99 Details
Apart from the Dimensity 1050 SoC, MediaTek has added two
new chipsets in the form of the Dimensity 930 and the Helio G99. The Dimensity
930 SoC comes with 2CC-CA technology, backed by mixed duplex FDD+TDD to deliver
higher speeds and more coverage. The chipset comes with support for the
company’s MiraVision HDR video playback, HDR 10+, and displays with up to 120Hz
refresh rate. Furthermore, it supports MediaTek’s HyperEngine 3.0 Lite gaming
technology to deliver lower latency and maximized battery life.
As for the new Helio G99 processor, the chipset is designed
to deliver a high-performance gaming experience on 4G networks with higher
throughput rates and improved power efficiency by up to 30%. It comes as a
successor to the Helio G96 SoC and should be an attractive option for
budget-focused gaming smartphones.
As for the availability, smartphones powered by the MediaTek
1050 and the Helio G99 SoCs will be launching sometime during the third quarter
of 2022. Smartphones with the Dimensity 930, on the other hand, will be
available in Q2 2022. Although, it is currently unknown which OEMs will be the
first ones to release smartphones with the new MediaTek chipsets in the market.
Thanks for the detail! I am really excited to use this Mediatek dimensity 930 powered smartphone.
