In December 2021, MediaTek introduced two new chipsets: the Dimensity 9000 and the Dimensity 8000. Until the launch, 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 of the Dimensity 8000 chipset. As you can see, the chipset scored a total of 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. The chipset narrowly surpassed the Snapdragon 888’s benchmark score.
In addition, the Dimensity 8000 maintains a very stable temperature (26°C – 28°C) during benchmarking. Perhaps this is the best reason why people prefer Dimensity 8000-powered smartphones, as other chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888, still have overheating issues.
Previously, there was only competition between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Dimensity 9000 chipsets; however, MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 8000 chipset is now competing with sub-flagship chipsets like Qualcomm 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’ll have to wait and see.
