In December 2021, MediaTek launched two new chipsets: the Dimensity 9000 and Dimensity 8000. Before their release, there was no information about their performance.
However, one of the long mysteries has finally been solved with Digital Chat Station revealing the AnTuTu benchmark scores for the Dimensity 8000 chipset. As shown in the picture, the chipset scored 820,230 points.
In the Antutu benchmark, the CPU score is 197563, the GPU score is 315,470, the MEM score is 149,037, and the UX score is 158,160. Its overall benchmark score slightly surpasses that of the Snapdragon 888 chipset.
In addition, the Dimensity 8000 consistently maintains a very stable temperature (26°C-28°C) during benchmark tests. This may be the best reason why users prefer smartphones with the Dimensity 8000, as other chipsets (such as the Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888) still have overheating issues.
Previously, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset competed only with the Dimensity 9000. However, the upcoming Dimensity 8000 chipset is now competing with chipsets such as the Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888.
According to the agreement, many smartphone manufacturers, including OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, and Honor, will manufacture Dimensity 9000-powered smartphones this year. It is also expected that Dimensity 8000 will be the main highlight of smartphones this year, but we will have to wait and see.
