However, the latest developments show that MediaTek is planning to launch another chipset. According to Digital Chat Station, this chipset is expected to be named Dimensity 8100.
The blogger revealed that MediaTek will launch a new chipset on March 1. Its specifications will be the same as the Dimensity 8000, but the frequency of the Cortex-A78 cores will be higher, currently clocked at 2.75 GHz in the Dimensity 8000.
He also mentioned that many smartphone manufacturers who are developing smartphones with the Dimensity 8000 may change their chipsets to the Dimensity 8100. According to rumors, the chipset is expected to be used in the upcoming Redmi K50 or Find X4 series.
The Dimensity 8000 has eight cores, including four Cortex-A78 cores at 2.75 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz. The chipset also features a Mali-G510 GPU. Smartphones featuring the Dimensity 8100 are expected to launch next month.
