MediaTek presented the new SoCs high-end Dimensity 1100 and 1200 with connectivity 5G integrated . The new proposals do not differ much from the previous Dimensity 1000 / 1000 Plus, with the Taiwanese company that seems to have chosen the path of evolution rather than that of a real revolution. The Dimensity SoC 1100 maintains an 8 core configuration , characterized by four Cortex-A cores 78 at 2.6 GHz (instead of Cortex-A 77 on previous models) and as many Cortex-A units 55 at 2 GHz. The process production instead passes from 7 to 6 nanometers of TSMC.

No change regarding the GPU , in fact we find a ARM Mali-G 77 consisting of 9 units . Furthermore, the SoCs can be combined with LPDDR4X memory up to 2133 MHz and UFS 3.1 storage . On the camera front, there are major improvements: Dimensity 1100 supports a single sensor up to 108 megapixel or two sensors from 32 + 16 megapixels. As for AI operations, the chip is equipped with a six-core MediaTek APU 3.0 unit for faster and more efficient scheduling. Finally, Dimensity 1100 supports FHD + screens with refresh rates up to 144 Hz.

Il Dimensity 1200 is an even higher range proposal, characterized by a configuration 1 + 3 + 4 also produced at 6 nanometers by TSMC. A core is in fact a Cortex-A 78 capable of operating at 3 GHz and characterized by double the L2 cache memory , i.e. 512 KB. This unit is flanked by three traditional A 78 units, set to 2, 6 GHz and equipped with 256 KB of L2 cache. Also in this case, the four Cortex-A cores complete the picture 55 at 2 GHz. The GPU is the same as the model 1100, while on the photographic front the ISP supports one sensor up to 200 megapixels . Another difference between the two chips is the support from the model 1200 to FHD + screens up to 168 Hz .

Many manufacturers including Xiaomi, OPPO, realme and vivo will adopt the new MediaTek Dimensity in the smartphones that will arrive on the market between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second.
