This afternoon, MediaTek officially launched the Dimensity 1200 chipset, which is manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm process.
It consists of one Cortex-A78 core clocked at 3.0 GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. The performance has increased by 22%, and energy efficiency has increased by 25%. The GPU has not changed much, but its performance has increased by up to 13%.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip achieves high-speed 5G orbital mode for the first time, supporting fast multi-beam switching, delivering a 40% increase in 5G network speed and downlink speeds of up to 400 Mbps. The chip also supports 5G elevator mode for the first time; the 5G ultra power-saving mode further optimizes power consumption and supports new bands and wide bandwidth.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 supports single-frame progressive staggered HDR video, can record 4K triple-exposure HDR video, and supports AI multi-person blur functionality.
The chipset can also achieve up to 200MP photography. It supports MediaTek’s rapid night shooting, triple-exposure single-frame progressive 4K HDR video technology (staggered HDR), and AI SDR-to-HDR conversion technology.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 features a HyperEngine 3.0 network optimization engine that supports continuous incoming calls and does not consume CPU or GPU resources when opening hotspots. It also supports 5G high-speed rail game mode. It is the first chipset certified by TÜV Rheinland.
The chipset is also confirmed to be featured in the Redmi K-series and the Honor V-series. It is known that the Redmi K40 series will also feature a Dimensity 1200.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 also supports the upcoming Bluetooth LE Audio (Bluetooth Low Energy Audio) standard, which can reduce game voice latency by 20%. It supports 10-point touch to maintain stable frame rates and has an intelligent load-control engine to enhance high-frame-rate gaming experiences. The chip also supports smart health charging, Wi-Fi 6 power-saving mode, and balanced performance features, which can reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
Thanks to the new features of MediaTek Dimensity 1200, several smartphone manufacturers, including Redmi and Realme, will launch phones with a 168Hz refresh rate, which is worth looking forward to.
