As it seems, MediaTek is going to launch a faster model of Dimension 9000 processor to compete with Snapdragon 8 generation 1 Plus.
MediaTek doesn’t currently make the beating heart of flagships, but that seems like a huge disservice to the company. Because the Taiwanese company has launched its Dimension 9000 chip on the market while it is the least distant from Apple in the multi-core sector, or maybe we can say it is equal to it, while Qualcomm and Samsung processors are miles away from Apple’s representative, and the situation is always It was the same way.
These days, Mediatek has made significant progress in the field of chip design, and this can be seen in the company’s 8XXX series, which are unparalleled in stability, in addition to Dimension 9000. Although Dimension 9000 seems to be enough to compete with the best available, the Taiwanese company wants to unveil a more advanced model, which is said to be going to the market as a competitor of Snapdragon 8 generation 1 Plus. The representative of Qualcomm has not been officially introduced yet, but it seems that TSMC will be responsible for its construction, and this means that in terms of stability, this processor must also perform well.
The name of this new Mediatek chip has not been officially announced yet, but we know that its frequency is higher than what we see in the standard model. This is something that one of the whistleblowers in the technology field has confirmed and we expect to see something like this. Currently, Dimension 9000 uses a powerful Cortex-X2 core with a frequency of 3.05 GHz. According to the predictions of Digital Chat Station, the famous Chinese whistleblower, this new model will use the same core but with a frequency of 3.20 GHz.
Since TSMC does not have the capacity to accept new orders with more advanced lithography, it is very likely that this chip will be produced with the same 4nm lithography that all processors use these days, including Exynos 2200, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and A15. Since this technology has greatly reduced the energy consumption of smartphones, the performance of these powerful chips should be more controlled in performing heavy tasks, and we expect to see less heat from them. Even if the frequency of one of the cores is set to 3.20 GHz. Of course, the use of a good cooler also depends on the phone manufacturers.
Unfortunately, this whistleblower did not say whether the other cores of this chip will change or not. Or is the only part that Mediatek is still weak in, i.e. the graphics processor, is there any progress? This is a question to which we hope the answer will be positive, because in terms of graphics processor, Dimension 9000 is very far from the competitors, and we should think about this situation if MediaTek wants to be the main supplier of high-end phone processors in the coming years.
MediaTek should reveal some of the specifications and capabilities of this highly anticipated chip before May (next month). In May, we will probably see the unveiling of Snapdragon 8 generation 1 Plus. By publishing a series of good news around this month, Mediatek can attract a lot of attention. However, Qualcomm will not sit idle and will definitely send good features to its new agent.
As mentioned, Snapdragon 8 generation 1 Plus is mass produced by TSMC. The processors produced with this company’s technology have a very good performance in the field of energy consumption and are very optimized. On the other hand, the efficiency of chip production in this company is around 70%, which makes chip designer companies trust it much more. This is what makes the competition between MediaTek and Qualcomm reach its peak this year, and whichever company wins this competition can operate as the main supplier of smartphone processors for years.
What is your prediction of the winner of the competition between Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus and the new MediaTek chip (improved model Dimension 9000)? Which company do you think will be able to perform better than the other in the field of processor production? MediaTek or Qualcomm?
