Mediatek has renewed its high-end mobile processor with two new models of the Dimensity family, the Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100. In both cases they are SoCs that integrate Cortex A cores 78 from ARM along with 5G connectivity.

It is manufactured to 6 nanometers and has support for high frequency displays. They will hit the market in the form of new terminals at the beginning of the second quarter of the year.

Mediatek Dimensity 1200 with display support of 168 Hz

The Dimensity 1200 leads Mediatek’s line of processors for smartphones, it is a SoC that combines the architecture ARM Cortex- A 78 together with the Cortex-A 55 in a distribution of three groups. The most powerful core is a Cortex-A 78 which is followed by a group of 3 cores also with Cortex A architecture 77 but at a slightly lower speed of 2.6 GHz. Finally, the last group of Cortex A 55 operates at 2 GHz of maximum speed for lower consumption tasks.

This SoC is accompanied by the Mali-G GPU 55 MC9 nine-core and supports LPDDR4x memory up to 4266 along with internal storage UFS 3.1. It is capable of handling FullHD screens up to 2. 520 x 1. 080 pixels along with a refresh rate of 168 Hz.

Naturally, it does not lack 5G connectivity with SA and NSA mode and Carrier Aggregation with which it is able to download data at 4.7 Gbps and upload it to 2.5 Gbps. For local connectivity we have WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, as well as a radio receiver, GPS, GLonass, Galileo and other location methods.

Mediatek Dimensity 1100 for displays of 144 Hz

The Dimensity 1100 will be the younger brother of 1200. It also combines Cortex A 78 and Cortex A 55 as architectures of its 8 cores, although in this case it only has two clusters or groups, one of four cores A 78 at 2.6 GHz and another 4-core A 55 at 2 GHz, losing that “premium” core at higher speeds.

The GPU is also a Mali G 77 9-core with which it can handle 2 screens. 520 x 1. 080 pixels, although this time the maximum refresh rate remains at 144 Hz

Maintains 5G multimode, WiFi 6 and BT 5.2 connectivity along with the rest of the options of its older brother.
